TRUE BLOOD -- Season 1

Thanks to a new product called TRUE BLOOD vampires have "come out of the coffin" to live openly among humans. It comes as no surprise when a number of issues arise including vampire civil rights and mixed marriage equality. But in the sleepy little Louisiana town (Bon Temps) a rash of murders raises a more dire specter of human/vampire relations. Though one exciting new development comes with the availability of a new "drug" .. V .. the street name for vampire blood which acts a powerful hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac.

This intense and provocative new series begins when a local waitress (Sookie Stackhouse) saves Vampire Bill from a couple of "drainers" seeking to cash in Bill's blood. That same night one of Sookies co-workers was strangled presumably by Jason Stackhouse, Sookie's brother. Soon thereafter another girl is found dead after sleeping with Jason. Finally towards the end of the season yet another girl winds up dead. This time while in bed with Jason after they were both high on V.

Sookie's love for Bill deepens, but trouble follows after they go to the vampire bar, Fangtasia, owned by Eric, a thousand year old Viking and the vampire Sheriff of Louisiana. Eric soon becomes intrigued with Sookie much to Bill's displeasure.

This series is bloody with graphic sex on par with "Rome" and "Spartacus". Be warned, however, that virtually every episode ends with a grabber and may lead to binge watching.

TRUE BLOOD -- Season 2

With the serial killer exposed Jason Stackhouse seeks solace with an anti-vampire religious cult based in Dallas, Texas. Sookies relationship with Vampire Bill hits a snag after he is forced to "turn" a 17-yr old virgin (Jessica) as atonement for killing another vampire. Meanwhile an ancient Greek "shifter" with a fondness for orgies upends the town of Bon Temps. It seems she is after Sam, the owner of the local bar & grill and a "shifter" himself.

While in Dallas major trouble brews for Jason when the Soldiers of the Sun cult (part of the Light of Day Institute) discovers his sister is a "fang banger". To make matters worse Sookie gets captured by the leaders of the Light of Day Institute while being paid to look for Godrick, Eric's "maker". The explosive end of Season 2 finds Sookie emotionally bound to Eric after the beguiling Viking tricks her to ingest his blood. The next day Sookie experiences one of the side-effects of drinking vampire blood ... she has a sexual fantasy ... about Eric.

TRUE BLOOD -- Season 3

Vampire Bill is kidnapped by V-crazed werewolves on the night he has proposed to Sookie. He escapes to find his abduction is part of a larger plot to capture Sookie. To keep her safe he stays away from Bon Temps and seeks refuge and answers from the vampire queen.

This season follows vampire politics and the fight between "mainstreamers", the vampire authority, and a three thousand year old vampire hell bent on draining Sookie dry while expanding his powerbase. As these forces collide we find that Sookie has more powers than just reading minds.

Jason discovers there are more "supes" (street name for supernatural beings) than anyone realized after he meets and falls in love with a werepanther. As for Sookie her "people" were thought to be drained to extinction by vampires seeking to "walk in the daylight".
