Borderline Obsession...

So, about a year ago one of my good friends introduced me to the show True Blood. From the opening credits, I was hooked. The series is just so fresh and original. Yeah, I know the vampire thing is being a bit overdone these days, but this show is just grittier and goes places Twilight wouldn't dare to go. (And the teeny-bopper crowd that is a large portion of the viewership for movies like Twilight, probably shouldn't be watching True Blood.)

Well, let's just say after seeing that first episode of True Blood Season 1 on DVD I just couldn't get enough. I pretty much devoured the first season and managed to get my boyfriend into the show as well. (Hah! He may not watch The Hills with me, but I got him with this one!) So, after devouring the first season I had to wait until the second season came out on DVD.

Fast forward to recent days; True Blood Season 2 is finally on DVD!!!! Be still my beating heart! My hand reached for the discs at the movie rental place so fast you'd think there was a magnet involved somehow! I am currently on disc 4 out of 5 in Season 2 and it just seems like each episode somehow gets crazier and more awesome. There are lots of steamy scenes involved, which never hurts, but that's not the ONLY reason why I like this show (although my boyfriend would disagree, as he swears that's the only reason I do like the show...).

I really do think the cast as a whole is excellent. Anna Paquin as one of the main characters Sookie, is so loveable and interesting to watch. Her character is a telepath; she can read the thoughts of others. She's dating a vampire named Bill Compton played by Stephen Moyer. Of course, he's sultry and has a southern accent. Never hurts. Those two actors also happen to be engaged in real life, which makes the love scenes seem that much more realistic. There are many other awesome actors/characters in the show, but you'll have to find out for yourself!

I'm telling you, this show has me hooked! Now I just can't wait until I finally get some form of cable television again, so I can watch Season 3! It just started up this past Sunday night on HBO. But, first I have to finish Season 2, and I can hardly get through the work day...the anticipation is killing me! That is how GREAT this show is. Seriously. If you have never seen the series, you may want to give it a try. Who knows, you could be hooked from the opening credits, just like myself!
