Actually Hobbs, Amazon has it listed at $59.99.
Sound like a good series, I may have to check it out. Thanks for the review.
What makes True Blood work so well is that it does offer something for everyone…there’s enough vampire and horror elements to attract fans of that genre but also enough great drama to turn off people who are not horror fans. The writers have barely scratched the surface of these characters and it’s bloody obvious (pardon the pun) that there are many more secrets to be revealed. If you don’t get HBO then I highly recommend this set.

It's an excellent series, definitely check it out. I think BestBuy has it on sale at around $54. Or Netflix it!
They show Anna Paquin's boobs. Nuff said.
Hanso...lmao...I forgot to mention that very important selling point in my review!
Yeah, I'm not convinced that Twilight has watered down vampires on Hollywood at all.
Let's face it, Twilight couldn't have because we've had COUNTLESS vampire and werewolf stories, so it is by nature watered down. And every time they come back and one of them is an actual success, then Hollywood starts up its carbon copy machine and makes another half dozen of them per day.
So it's not really fair to blame Twilight....although Hanso is looking for a way, I'm certain.
Twilight was the first different thing dealing within this genre in recent history...when I was writing "Unbitten," I was also looking for something dramatically different. But there's no way in hell I'll promote it now or for quite a while with all these other vamp stories going on.
Starlight, someone on here once said Twlight was a chick flick disguised as a vampire movie and with the exception of yourself, most everyone supports that theory. I haven't seen Twlight but the fact my teenage niece and her girlfriends want to see it a million times is enough evidence for me to blame Twlight for the crap vampire movies that are on the way to coming out.
I'll back hanso especially when he was talking about the "glow" the vampires would give off...WTF...it's a chick flick.
Iusiphur....is 13 episodes really worth 60 bucks? To each their own but HBO series are way over priced.
ummmm hello!!! Anna's BOOBS!, $60 buck sis a steal, this show is great, can't wait for season 2.
just rent the damn thing
you also have to consider (as Jarrod once pointed out on his Facebook page) that posting news about Twilight and such is a difficult task given mania's mostly male readership...so first off take that into account...
I wouldn't say it's "disguised as a vampire movie," and those that say so are just pissed off little boys expecting one thing and getting another.....kind of like when Sascha Baron Cohen pulled his Bruno stunt in Fort Smith last year when all these drunk rednecks were expecting "wrassling" and got two grown men kissing...
I still love that...I can't wait to see Bruno so I can actually see the madness that ensued.
To assume it's disguised as a vampire movie and backed up by everyone on here is to say HEY! WE WERE TRICKED! BASTARD!
Yes it's a romance. Yes vampires are in it. Big deal.
I'm sure you already know these points aren't aimed at you hobbs...it's just trusting just this readership of guys that feel betrayed and are now likely pouting like my nephew when he can't play a game is just limiting...
Twilight did something different...because everything before it was pretty much VAMPIRE BITES PRETTY GIRL, VAMPIRE KILLS PEOPLE, VAMPIRE SEDUCES MORE PRETTY GIRLS, PEOPLE GET PISSED, VAMPIRE IS STAKED.....etc...
yeah I want to see this as much as anyone else...I just look beyond the limitations we can (and often do) impose on ourselves...but frankly I'm not really impressed with vampires, and you have to find a way to liven it up....and we're at the point where it's really, really hard to do and vampires being vampires is just a gimmick anymore....ooh blood suckers gonna get you, be scared....yawn......
Not just Paquin's boobs (which are fantastic), but that Lizzy Caplan's (Surprisingly) stunning body. Yeeooowww!!!! Plus that hottie that was part of X-men Origins: Wolverine's downfall is a lot hotter in this.
Female anatomy 101 aside, great show. Although, Sookie gets on my nerves with her constant drama, negative attitude, and cry-baby act almost as much as Tara. Thankfully Sookie has some saving points that make her a little bit likeable for me. Still a great fan of the show over all, and can't wait for the new season this weekend, with supposedly a few new creatures introduced.
Good review Tim. I have been wondering about this show. All that Twlight crap out there has diluted the vampire genre in my opinion so I'm hesitant about checking any of the stuff that is coming out. Once something is huge, everyone in Hollywood copies it so I thought were going to get nothing but Twlight vampire stuff from now on.
Too bad this is HBO though...I'm sure the 13 episodes are probably 100 bucks for the season or close to it. HBO is nuts about their prices.
