    What starts out lean and mean can grow flabby and sentimental, and flaws can turn into handsome plot twists. Which is one reason to just bite down hard and go with the show.

    True Blood has never been a show with a conscience, so it's awkward watching it try to get one in a hurry.

    The first four episodes of Season 5 find True Blood at its most directionless and meandering.
