I don't know if the HBO series "True Blood" has made it to you folks across the pond yet, but whether it has or has not, its charms have worn off me after 2.5 seasons. I explain why--with no apologies--at: http://www.redroom.com/articlestory/drive-a-stake-through-it-taking-down-true-bl ood Hope you like it! Thanks for reading! |

I've long sniffed this out as being faux in every way, and so have assiduously avoided it... I suspect your blog will make that ever more clear to me.... |

Does Alan Ball still have anything to do with the series? I can't believe the man behind the single greatest TV show of all time (6 Feet Under) has suddenly lost it... |

Yes, I still believe he's closely associated with it, though I don't think he's written any episodes as of late. |

It started really well (I raved about it here) but then I got very bored. Apparently it does pick up. |

That reviewer just wants it to be scary, though, which I don't think it wants to be itself. |
