Every time I rewatch, I'm bowled away by how adorable their romance is. Almost every coupling on the show through all the seasons have some kind of shock. They're awkward, odd, kinky (in good and bad ways), or even just eye rolling. Then Jesus shows up to "watch" Lafayette work and it's more adorable than every Meg Ryan blockbuster. They are so authentic and honest from that very first day and theirs is the only love story that doesn't get done wrong in this show (until it ends, but that's a different story).

every time i rewatch true blood i feel even more strongly than i did the last watch....what the HELL does sookie see in bill??? they don't make sense together at all, and he is weird and old timey and annoying.... like there is no way they would've gotten together IMO if sookie didn't drink his blood at the beginning. eric is better from the beginning til the end of the show, and this theory isn't rooted in anything other than a feeling, but i feel like bill & sookie only ended up together in the end because the actors are together IRL. eric the best vamp and it's insane to me he didn't get sookie. also, justice for alcide! sookie didn't deserve him and he didn't deserve his outcome 😭

okay first time watcher here i’m on 2x2 and quick question, does jason get more bearable as the show goes on or is he like this the whole time?

What were we on in the late 00s/early tens that nearly every scene is punctuated by sex? Hahaha. It is fantastic and ridiculous, and it’s always super breathy and intense haha.

These poor actors must have been like… “again?! Really? We fucked every other scene!” During shooting

In Season 1, Episode 2. I’ve rewatched the show a bunch but this was the first time I caught that. Made me laugh!
Jason and Dawn were going at it and he looked at himself in her mirror and pointed 😂

I’ve made it to season 3!

I’m shook!

- Sam and his drinking bender
- poor Tara…and she looks good with her new haircut
- Bill…I don’t know how to feel about him this season…and the scene with him, Eric & Russell pouring the concrete…I’m like shook what the helly!

Yes I did the worst tier list according to many a few weeks ago, I finally finished all seven seasons so here’s my updated tierlist

I hate bill always have always will

Season five is so silly and kinda stupid.

I miss seasons 1-4. Are the last two seasons this bad?

Wow that was a WILD ending with Tara being attacked. Then you know who (iykyk) to save her. and then Russell appearing on the weather channel. Now starting Ep 10. Too good a show!

This is covered with all types of spoilers cuz it’s about the whole show so, be warned, don’t read unless you’ve seen it all.

Overall such a good show and lowkey deserved wayyyy more hype. I genuinely think it’s better than the vampire diaries or the originals. It’s kinda like an edgier, sexier, more supernatural mix of the two. At no moment did I get bored and the overall story made sense. I love how all the side characters end up being very important pieces. I loved all the side characters especially Lafayette and Tara (lowkey main characters). I also really loved Terry and Holly. And it wasn’t just love triangle bs and a special girl everyone wants. There were always many moving parts that affected the entire story. I honestly think this is some of the best writing I’ve seen in a while. I’m no expert tho.

I do have my complaints. Like for one this is supposed to be a romance about Sookie and they start the show with her being the only one who thinks vampires deserve rights and aren’t all evil. IMO that’s the main messages of the show. Okay so after seven seasons of us watching her date literally everyone she ends up with some nameless, faceless dude that is in screen for a total of 30 seconds?! A life didn’t have to die and he would’ve been a perfect match for Sookie if they really wanted to go the normal life route. I mean he is a werewolf but the problem wasn’t necessarily having magical powers cuz Sookie kept hers. The problem I guess is whether or not she can have kids. Which is kinda weird if you ask me. For Bills main reason for dying being that Sookie must have biological children is so ancient. I get it he’s old but adoption, surrogacy, and sperm donors all exist. I don’t know I think the way they ended Bills story was rushed and unfulfilling for everything we saw with this character.

While I think the writing of the overall story and the development of characters and their relationships is overall done exceptionally well. Unfortunately they somehow messed up the actual main point of the story which is Sookie and her love story. I feel like if they had maybe two more seasons they could’ve worked everything out. There was soooo much potential still and it wasn’t bad like I can’t see viewership drastically decreasing in the later seasons unless in season 7 because it’s the final season and it was too rushed. It genuinely feels like there’s supposed to be more.

But even when they had time to develop the romance they still messed it up. Like what do you mean Sookie and Eric were only really together when he lost his memory? That’s so weird. And they like never go back to that. And they try to pretend she’s in love with both but in the end Eric just ends up the interesting side character everyone loves? I really feel like they missed their opportunity to have Sookie and Eric be together after the whole Billith thing. I don’t know but it kinda makes the romance feel shallow when it only ever existed while the guy had little to no memories. Like why couldn’t we have had a poly relationship? I was really excited for it to go down that route too cuz it honestly made sense for the show. But no they tease it once in a dream but they never talk about it in real life. Sookie never gives them the option. Could’ve been really interesting.

And then there’s Tara and Jason. Tara should have ended up with Jason in the end. Like it was so clear his story was “I have sex with every girl and I never commit” to “the answers been right there all along” friends to lovers. But Tara needed to get over him so he could heal so I did like her with Eggs. I just thought it was a waste to kill Tara and have Jessica end up with Hoyt and Jason end up with some random girl who is Hoyt’s ex AGAIN.

And lastly Terry didn’t need to die. That was the most unnecessary kill. He was the only good guy like come on.

Ok I’ve spoken my piece. Overall love the show and might become a regular rewatch.

When Hoyt is packing up Jessica's stuff after they break up, you can briefly see the first Twilight novel as a part of her things. I think this is super fun. It reinforces the idea the series takes place in our timeline, its a nod to Jessica still ultimately being a teenage girl, and I'm sure there's a lot of crossover between fans of both series here so its a quick bit of fun fan service.

Who do you prefer?

Who do you prefer?

Idk how I feel about the show honestly. I don’t find any of the characters very attractive, even the leads. Not trying to be rude, but I don’t think the gap-toothed, hillbilly personality is “cute” and Bill Compton, has thin lips and looks too old to play the lead. Call me shallow I guess but the lack of attraction makes it hard for me to get into the show. And so much hillbilly sex with the brother… it’s just so raunchy.😬😩 Even their fangs…just ridiculous looking tbh. I heard so many good things about this show and I’m wondering why so many people like it? Am I missing something? I’m a huge fan of vampire shows/movies and I’m disappointed I don’t seem to “click” with this one.

What should I watch next? After the highly disappointing ending?

First time UK watcher here, was surprised to see Sean Slater from Eastenders in this??

It’s been well over a decade since I last watched TrueBlood.

I’m a huge fan of vampires & anything supernatural so I decided to wind the clock back and start rewatching during Halloween season!

I’m now on season 2!

I love the characters, the town, the vampires!

Since I can hardly remember what happens it almost feels like I’m watching it for the first time!

Who do you actually prefer in the final season

Why didn't Jessica use her blood to revive the fairies? She felt terrible about and so many other times she used her blood to heal others. I get she was high but Bill wasn't and didn't try to heal them either. Just seems like an odd plot hole.

my favourite vampire characters

I love Sookie too. Sookie and Bill deserve a happy ending.

has anyone heard about this? this article is over 6 years old. i for one would definitely be down with a reboot. mostly because i hated how the series ended. i just hope they keep the campiness from the earlier seasons. i have no idea how they’re going to find a replacement for Skarsgard but i think it would be soo cool to give it a modern adaptation.

anyone heard if they’re still moving forward or has it been cancelled? if they did reboot it what would be some things you guys would want to see? what would you keep and change?

Edit: i did see that it’s been canceled. really unfortunate. but in a perfect world im still curious about people’s ideas if there was a reboot.
