OMG!! i have been watching this since it started a few weeks back, i look forward to this every week. Me and my bf are always gripped to the tv and make it our thing to wtach it on Saturday after it has been taped.

i would deo recommend a watch if noone has seen it

10/10

Yep trying to get into this (not just cos anna paquin gets her norks out at some point). Seems well acted and scripted. Where did they get the name Sooki from? Big fan of the vampire genre (buffy still rocks).

Still, should really get faith up there to kick their collective asses and stop that dollhouse nonsense .

Terrible sub poppy z bright vampire toss. Sucki stackhouse is the main character, and she's annoyingly naive. Also thought a lot of the character were massive stereotypes. Seen the whole series too. - gonna watch near dark again - much better IMHO.

Lots of people I know watch this, and keep pushing it to me, but I haven't made the jump.

Near Dark was great!

suppose tis ok if you are after soft vampire porn

That's what the missus described it as when she's been trying to persuade me that it's the sort of thing I'd like.

Maybe I should stop wearing the cape to bed?

I'm quite enjoying it some of the characters annoy me but im looking forward to seeing how the story with suki and bill progresses. It's definately a bit soft porn tho lol

I've been watching it - really didn't like the turn it took recently with the grandmother

yes it is soft- core in some manner of speaking

Lafayette does remind me of lots of men I worked with in various restaurants in the quarter - gay black man takes no shit pretty much a stereotype - not nearly as feisty as this pre-op transexual who was my boss in one nightclub- but there you go I've lived a colourful life

Poppy Z Brite is crap

The Hubb and I have been watching it since it first aired on FX will stick with too - it's by the guy who put out 6 feet under so it can't be that bad

oooh I like a bit of early poppy z brite, not the more recent stuff like exquisite corpse - that was dreadful. My fact to add is that the main vamp was in a great british vampire series alled ultraviolet. I loved that series.

Ultraviolet was brilliant! I've got it on dvd, and watch it every so often.

I was watching True Blood after my folks Sky + it the other day. Thought it took a long time getting into and not a lot actually happens, sort of a hillbilly version of Coronation Street but with soft porn. Anyway she decided to record the Tudor's and that messed up the recording and i missed half an episode, since then i really can't be arsed with it.

yeah me too - I had to get it from America, how crap is that a british series that you could only get in the U.S. Jack from ultraviolet is the main vampire in true blood

I just found Poppy Z Brite a little dull and well after reading the erotica based vampire novels of Anne Rice - I went back to reading horror like Lumley or sexually repressed Lovecraft before permanently get lost in both Robert Anton Wilson books and of course the dystopian sphere of Philip K. Dick

The Hubb won't let me watch Ultraviolet - he said it was crap - so I have no opinion on it - maybe when Itv4 reruns it again I'll check it out.

as for hillbillies meets Coronation Street - in the states - only saw Coronation Street a couple of times a friends mum watched it and I swear someone died in it - this would be proper 70's Coronation

for the record they do not have hillbillies in Louisiana (that would Arkansas and Missouri and the Virginias) - they aren't rednecks (everywhere else) no... they are called "coon asses" and they have a tendency to "talkalikadat" (imagine instead of shoe they say chue) and have names like Boudreaux and use their pirogue (canoe) to paddle through the marsh to catch nutria - think big giant rat from South America - there is one guy on True Blood that in all likelihood is actually genuinely a coon ass - one of the brothers friends

It used to be available over here, as my copy is a UK one. Not much in the way of extras, but I didn't buy it for that.
Was about 7 years ago though.

by the way they are going to start showing this on channel 4 and are using The Cramps I Can't Hardly Stand It to promote it - the best stripper music ever made

found out there was a season 2 of this downloaded it already - its much better than season 1 and Michele Forbes is in it - definitely upped the game in season 2 -

just finished season 1...brilliant show...just brilliant

FX channel really have shown some gems recently- Dexter, breaking bad and now this

usually if a show comes from either Showtime or HBO they will be quality - both are pay movie channels in the states - not exactly forced to submit to the whole ratings thing. It's really depressing when you think about how many shows from the US come over here and then because they are on one of the major networks get cancelled because of ratings - even if the show becomes big outside of america

Dexter is brilliant, Breaking Bad was good too

i love HBO's curb your enthusiasm as well

I really enjoyed carnival - think that was another hbo series, shame they only did 2 seasons.

its always the way isnt it...and i completely agree 100% with your earlier comments too

cant wait for season 3, i watcvhed season 1 on the FX channel then i was looking to see if season 2 started in the US but to find out it had just finished airing, so i downloaded it, me and my bf had a true blood weekend. Bring on season 3!!

Carnival was brilliant - best episode and creepiest the one in the mining town when they left the girl prostitute - fookin' hell

just finished watching Season 2 of Tru Blood - can't wait for season 3 - yesterday the actor who plays Bill was on BBC Breakfast - he's British by the way which I didn't know

the one thing about season 2 and hope this isn't a spoiler but I wish we could have found out more about Godrick - was he Egyptian or from somewhere in the middle east?

i tried watching the the other day when it was on channel 4..... i didnt have high hopes for it and my expectation was met. i dont think ill try to watch it again because sooki is annoying and its just strange vampire soft porn... pity i suppose
