    It's getting harder to remember that this blood-leeching drama used to be a whole lot of fun.

    True Blood is neglecting the potent subtext of vampire myth--forbidden sex and romance--in favor of political allegory. [24 Jun 2013, p.39]

    As to whether the show will get back on track, the early signals are mixed.

    True Blood still entertains with crackling dialogue and about half its plotlines, but it's starting to feel a little long in the fang.

    The show could use a return to what made it great in the first place: [Sookie and friends] battling monsters with the help of benevolent, attractive bloodsuckers.

    Even more so than in season’s past, the non-vampire storylines seem irrelevant and extraneous.

    True Blood USED to be amazing, everything started going downhill really fast with season 5 I'm guessing with Alan Ball leaving. Now there'sTrue Blood USED to be amazing, everything started going downhill really fast with season 5 I'm guessing with Alan Ball leaving. Now there's too many groups of characters.

The dialogue has become cheesy, and everything is all over the place and all at once. It has never happened before, but ep 2 got me irritated and very bored. The show either needs to be cancelled or get back to basics, but I fear it will never be as good as the first 4 seasons.… Full Review »
