This one has got everything going for it!, 7 September 2008
10/10
Author: tenpercent from Midwest - USA

10 stars! I like everything about this show.

It has a unique setting, interesting characters and the main ones are likable as well, good script, great storyline - even a sense of humor.

The main vampire, Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer)is suitably dark, handsome, brooding and maybe even just a little bit scary.

The female lead, Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is delightful, pretty, spirited and very likable.

I'm quite interested in seeing how their romance will develop.

In addition to Sookie and Bill, we have Sookie's brother, Jason, a nice looking guy who can't quite keep himself out of trouble, along with Sookie's best friend since kindergarten, an attractive black girl with the unlikely name of Tara. I like her, but it wouldn't hurt to tone Tara's rough edges down just a tad. She has almost too much of a chip on her shoulder. Tara has a thing for Jason, but it doesn't look like he's ever going to even notice her.

At the bar and grill where Sookie works the night shift, is scruffy but lovable bartender, Sam, who loves Sookie and worries about her a lot.

Then there's Sookie and Jason's off-center grandmother - and I'm kind of hoping she's going to come into it more as well.

Great show - at the end of the hour - which flew by - I was eager for more.

This should be a big hit for HBO.
