Or maybe, in this case, I'm bitten.ĭavid Bianculli is TV critic for and teaches television and film at Rowan University in New Jersey.Shaken and disillusioned, Sookie rethinks her relationship with Bill. I've seen the first three of this season's new shows, and, once again, I'm hooked. And Alan Ball and company have injected new blood into their show, so to speak, by giving more screen time to some especially entertaining female vampires: Deborah Ann Woll as Jessica, Bill's young vampire-in-training, and Kristin Bauer as Pam, Eric's unflappable manager at Fangtasia. And Stephen Moyer, as Sookie's kidnapped Bill, is as magnetic and mysterious as ever - a far, far cry from Barnabas Collins.īut hey - this is soap opera, just like the books by Charlaine Harris on which True Blood is based. That's partly because other folks have either vanished or regressed - but it's also because these two Southern men have learned from their mistakes.

So she bravely and boldly stomps into a vampire nightclub called Fangtasia and demands to see the owner - Eric, a powerful vampire who is in charge of vampires in the bayou backwater. Sookie suspects foul play - and in the universe of True Blood, where vampires co-exist with humans openly, and where shape-shifters, demons and other creatures lurk in the shadows - she'd be foolish to think otherwise. Bill Compton, the vampire lover of Southern waitress Sookie Stackhouse, has gone missing. The third season, which begins Sunday, picks up at the same place last year's cliffhanger left off. Or, more accurately - it's a soap opera, impure and complicated. Like Dark Shadows, it's a soap opera, pure and simple. True Blood doesn't even try it hide its origins, its genre or its intentions. ![]() But True Blood, the HBO vampire series created by Alan Ball, offers the best proof that this theory holds water, if not blood.
