HBO’s series “True Blood” was ahead of the current vampire curve, before the success of “Twilight” and the sequels for the teen crowd.Personally, I like my vampire tales True Blood, along the lines of “30 Days of Night,” but filmmaker and writer Alan Ball has an art department sensibility about him that makes the erubescent written script of his southern gothic tale of Louisiana small towners a visceral thrill ride, despite the languid humidity of the setting.Ball's erotic drama is tinged with humor, and set in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. His series is based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.
The second season of True Blood sees some interesting developments, to which Ball has asked critics not to reveal plot points and spoilers, which will be honored.
The feeling and tone of the True Blood, (four episodes viewed) is similar to the juxtaposed, jarring imagery of the opening of the series. Grotesqueries and glamour, seediness and fervor; True Blood will not disappoint die-hard fans.Ball’s own southern roots are transparent in his story editing and words, and his sense of humor by incorporating today’s cultural icons like Joel Osteen and his wife in his characters Rev. Steve Newlin and his blonde wife,True Blood is appreciated.True Blood, based on novels by Charlaine Harris that Ball enjoyed for their sardonic take on vampirism. True Blood
