True Blood
I'm not usually a fan of HBO or Showtime programming lately because it's all sex without a plot line. I also never watched True Blood because Anna Paquin makes me irritated. However, after years of cajoling, my dad finally got me to watch it, and I am now obsessed. So much that I even want to read the books. It's genius. I mean, seriously. First of all, they make vampires like a new subset of society that is consistently discriminated against. Hilarious. Some of the gore is a little... gore-y, but it is HBO after all, and they are the only ones who can actually get away with it. Being able to cuss on television also allows for more interesting and violent plot lines, which is always a good thing in my book, as long as it makes sense... for the most part. Some of the stuff is a little out there - like were-panthers, fairies and shape shifters, but it's really no different than the shows I've been watching for years like Buffy or The Vampire Diaries . I wish there
