Default True Blood

Anyone else watch it? Me and the wife are hooked. Last episode of the season coming up. Wonder how they'll leave us hanging until season 3?

I looked it up, Dao. I know what you're talking about now. (I don't get HBO)
I had a buddy up here from Tennessee, and he watched it. He kept talking about how cool it was, so I watched it once with him. Definitely a cool show.

Nice antenna Sprock!

True Blood is indeed shown on HBO. The Season 2 finale was last Sunday night. The show is based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris and is set in a fictional Louisiana small town. The setting is fictional but cities that me and the wife's families live in are mentioned often.

Funny, only one of the main actors is from Louisiana. The rest are from Canada, New Zealand, England, and Sweden. The show doesn't follow the books closely and is pretty entertaining. Season 1 is available on DVD, I don't think Season 2 is yet since it just ended.

"True Blood" has just started season 1 here in Sweden, but I haven´t got around to see it yet, even though there´s a Swedish actor in the show.

The actor is Alexander Skarsgård, son of Stellan Skarsgård. Stellan is known from movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, Mamma Mia, and, most recent, Angels & Demons. Solid actor.

I wasn't familiar with him before True Blood. Very solid indeed! His character seemed minor initially but has grown into one of the leads.
