True Blood
Having managed (somehow) to miss this in its entirety until very recently I had it recommended to me by both a friend and my daughter. I am now catching up (thanks Sky). It is how shall I put it...'raunchy'... In parts...but I absolutely love it. Now on series 3 (bit of an overdose or should that be a blood transfusion).
Great cast, funny, witty, shocking and with such cutting observations on many aspects of society (particularly American society)...fascism, homophobia, treatment of 'the different'. The actor who plays Bill comes originally from just up the road from where I live (he is an Essex boy!). Plus Alexander Skasgard is impossibly attractive.

Re: True Blood
Now I have watched all but the newest (and last...SOB) series. Feeling bereft and I haven't even finished it yet....

Re: True Blood
Just watch the last episode. Been a fan all along. I'm ok with how they wrapped it up.
Naked Vampire Eric is a reason to live.

Re: True Blood
Oh yes indeed! (Did I really say that aloud? 
). Gosh...what a physique, plus his characterisation of the part is just brilliantly nuanced. I loved the swimming naked in the pool full of gators scene. Eric and Pam are my favourite characters (the 'teacup humans' scene was just great, plus the 6 hours sex scene with the Estonian girl that Sookie walks into is so funny too) although I also have a lot of time for Lafayette, Sam, Alcide, and Godric as well.
Contemplating learning Swedish next...can't think why...
I will miss Bon Temps... I have bought a bottle of True Blood (which I won't be drinking), a Fangtasia T-shirt and a Merlotte's T-shirt...sad, I know but there you go.

Re: True Blood
Rather over excited! I just received delivery of a True Blood photo genuinely signed by Alex Skarsgård! I am such a fan girl sometimes.
