I’m enjoying this show, although I agree that it does have some marginal characters who seem to have nothing to do with the main premise (ie. Tara). It has already been greenlit for a second season.

I’ll admit that I think the nudity and vamp sex was a little brash for a pilot episode. Usually shows work up towards those levels. I don’t think it was frequent enough to qualify as soft core porn, but then again I still think its too much to qualify as the sort of event, everyone-gather-to-watch television that HBO once crested at.

After this second episode I’m really starting to like the show more. I love the evanescent sense of mystery, the powers of Bill, that dog (which I’m betting is the bar owner Sam as some kind of animagus), the new vampires, the effect of V-juice on humans, and the aunt from TWISTER.

I think this week grounded the characters a bit more. Tara is still over the top, but Sookie (hate the name) is a little more rational than just the leader of the vamp fan pep squad she was in the first ep.

i really wanted to like this more then i did.

the “out of the coffin” concept reminds me of a Hamilton novel, but putting it in a small town nowhere of the deep south, really allows for a new spin of the old xenophobic “oh golly, its a vampire”

however, at the end of the day i think my wife summed it up perfectly, “i cant watch anymore, this whole thing feels too much like soft core porn.” over the top, over dramatic, lackluster pacing, but oh golly, its a naked woman!

not to say i wont watch this sunday. its got potential, but im going to need something more signifigant then “the outsider comes to town” im kinda bored with that.

I really enjoyed the first episode. I’m glad to finally read a rational review for it. I almost missed it because I heard so much bad stuff about it but I thought it was great. Finally there is a show on T.V that’s not about spoiled rich people. I will be watching this Sunday too!
