Care for Sex and Vampires? Watch True Blood TV Show Online
Sex and the City who? Years after SATC’s reign, the new series to watch over at HBO is the unabashedly sexual series, True Blood. An adaptation of Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire Mystery series, the show centers on Sookie Stackhouse [Ana Paquin], a telepathic waitress who works at Merlotte’s in the fictional town of Bon Temps, Louisiana. It is indeed a good thing to know that you can now watch True Blood TV show online.
True Blood centers on Sookie Stackhouse [Ana Paquin], a telepathic waitress who lives in Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie is an outsider looking in until her path crosses that of Bill Campton [Stephen Moyer], a 173-year old vampire she falls in love with. Add to the murky brew the serial murders of several human women known to have affairs with vampires.
Unlike the prim and grim environment of Six Feet Under, however, Ball gave full reign to his death fixation by injecting True Blood with oftentimes animalistic, life-infusing sex, one of which involved Sookie and Bill making rough sex in the middle of a graveyard. Viewers can download True Blood online and see this particular episode for themselves.
Like Six Feet Under, True Blood is unsparing in presenting the depth of its colorful characters. There’s Sookie’s brother Jason [Ryan Kwanten], the local Lothario who in Season One was accused of murdering a lover. Then there’s Lafayette [Nelsan Ellis], Merlotte’s cook who also part-times as Jason’s gay drug pusher; Tara, Sookie’s bestfriend who in Season One was involved in a bizarre exorcism rite; and Sam Merlotte, Sookie’s boss, who is secretly in love with her and who also happens to be a shape-shifter.
Ball had a brainwave about the series after reading the first installment in Harris vampire series, Dead Until Dark. He became interested in bringing Harris’ vision to the small screen after reading the entire series.
Harris was offered two other adaptation options for the series when Ball approached her. In the end, she chose to go with Ball because she felt that Ball understood what she was doing with the books.
When the series premiered in September 2008, True Blood garnered a very modest 1.44 million viewers. By November, however, this figure jumped to 6.8 million a week, which included repeat and on-demand viewings. The series is now HBO’s most popular series since The Sopranos and Sex and the City.
If the saying sex sells is anything to go by, then Ball and HBO certainly did find a goldmine in the show. Watch True Blood TV show online now.
