True Blood is actually based on the new York times bestselling series, The Sookie Stackhouse Novels also known as "The Southern Vampire Mysteries". Surprise!
Since its debut, the show has been a bit hit on the HBO channel. It's an eighteen rated so I wouldn't recommend watching it with your children. Academy award winner Anna Paquin (From Xmen) stars as the southern waitress and Stephen Moyer as bill. Paquin and Moyer married in August 2010 After dating since filming the series pilot in 2007.
It premiered on September 7, 2008. The series has received critical acclaim and won several awards, including one Golden Globe and an Emmy. The show's second 12-episode season had its premiere on June 14, 2009 and the third season on June 13, 2010. On June 21, 2010, HBO renewed True Blood for a fourth season. On August 11, 2011, HBO announced that True Blood had been renewed for a fifth season of 12 episodes to air in summer 2012.
Since the show was such a success, the book were re-released as a tie in with the show, using the actors as the covers.
I think the show is very good and has stayed rather true to the novels, even having the same words as written in the books. People over eighteen should watch it but I don't recommend it for young children as it has nudity, violence, sexual content and some bad language.
