I love True Blood! The show is loosely based upon the Sookie Stachouse novels writen by Charlaine Harris. The show is amazing. HBO can really produce some winners. It keeps you on the edge of your seat for the whole hour and when it's over you can't wait until next week. It's hard to describe what category the show is in. It's a fine mixture of comedy and action. The acting is superb. I highly recommend reading the books. The show doesn't completely follow the books. Alan Ball directs the show, he aslo directed six feet under
