Absolutely hate the show. I bought the season one serious because I needed to fill my twilight void. This show is NOTHING like the wonderful romance books in the Twilight Saga. All the women in the show are portrayed as dumb, sex objects. The acting is terrible. The so-called souther drawl they have is nothing like lousiana--i ought to know, I'm from Louisiana. The vampires are just plain evil and satanic rapists. I was totally turned off by this show and I'm getting a refund!

What Parents Need to Know
About True Blood
Parents need to know that this pay-cable vampire series from the creator of Six Feet Under is, like that show, very much intended for adults. Viewers can expect plenty of nudity, simulated sex scenes, strong language (including "s--t" and "f--k"), drinking, and drug use, as well as references to prostitution. That said, the show also explores the human ability to embrace and understand those who are different.

Really an amazing show! But I would never show it to someone under 17 years old. Anyone older should watch it

I love True Blood, it is very true that there is a lot of sex and violence. But the characters are great. I watched the first episode and there was a lot of sex in it, but I made myself watch the second one hoping it would be better and now I'm hooked.
