    I only watched the leaked pilot of this and wasn't overly impressed with it.
    Anyway, this weekend I had a bit of spare time and decided to make full use of my 50mb connection and I've watched the 1st 2 seasons in 1080p.
    Oh my. What an excellent show. Where have I been? A vampire series on HBO should have been enough of a draw for me.
    I've hardly left the cinema room and am just coming to the end of season 1.
    Brilliant show. Very impressed.

    TBH, I'm finding it hard to get into season 3. I'm only up to ep 5, and it just got a bit interesting regarding Eric, so maybe it'll pick up for me now. I'll stick with it, because seasons 1 and 2 were great.

    episodes 6 and 8 are pretty damn good and worth looking into.

    Just watched the last episode. HOLY. FUCK.

    all the schmalzy eye rolling romance was worth it for that ending scene.

    The ending was funny when the king of vampires took over the news. Too bad he will probably be gone after the next 3 episodes. Btw, they made the over of Rolling Stone. I wish Bill would move his fucking hand.

    "And now for the weather, Tiffany?" That ending line was probably one of the best I've seen done. The whole scene was pretty jaw dropping.

    How can they destroy him? He's nearly 3,000 years old? Bill's not even 200, Erics a little over a 1000. If I was the Government, I'd just hit it during the day.

    True blood is like twilight, only a tad less gay.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    it was pretty dern rad, in this day and age of the sad, emo romance vampires, to just have this old, powerful vampire just lose his shit on tv and say 'first i kill you, then i eat your children' and do it with an emotion other than boohoo angst.

    Nope. . not really at all. . .the books maybe, but the show has been given an adulthood that is very lacking in Twilight. It's an Alan Ball project for gods sake!!

    It's probably the only scene in this truly awful series that had any balls to it.

    I really don't get the hate that some people have for this series. . .to each his own I guess.

    To me it's just a girly "relationship" series, with some horror staples thrown in. None of which are particularly interesting. I watched the entire 1st series and simply couldn't be bothered checking out the next. The gratuitous fuck scenes every episode are tiresome, there's no real "horror" going on, the vampires are boring, the werewolves/shapeshifters tedious and the humans are arseholes.

    ...and vampires can't fuck, they're dead. That's the real killer for me in this show.

    It's a shade better than 'Twilight', but certainly in the same bracket as that.
