Trivia:
Anna Paquin and 'Lynn Collins' are co-stars in the show. Both have co-starred with Hugh Jackman in X-Men movies but even then they didn't share any screen place working in them. Anna starred in X-Men, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand whereas Lynn Collins starred in X-Men Origins:Wolverine. Hugh Jackman's character had a special connection with both of them. His character acted as a friend, philosopher and guide to Anna's character (she had a slight crush also on him for a while). Lynn played Hugh Jackman's love interest in the X-Men movie. more

great show!! especially if you've read the books!!, 7 September 2008
10/10
Author: fghaeo from United States

This is a great vampire TV show.I've read the books and i thought they did a great job adapting the books so far.The thing is even if you didn't read the books you can enjoy the show because its a new twist on vampires, not to mention its an HBO show so there's other "benefits" as well.The actors are all great in the show too Anna Paquin is great as sookie and so is Stephen Moyer as bill, and Ryan Kwanten is HOT as Jason.overall I'm giving it a 9 out of 10 because i only watched the first 2 episodes and i want to see how they'll adapt the rest of the series and subplots,and see in what format they will adapt each book since each book is a different storyline.
