First of all, for those who never heard of True Blood (IMDb: 8.7, i♥movies: 7.9), it is a very well-known and well-ranked series based on the a book series called the Sookie Stackhouse novels (1st: Dead Until Dark, 2nd: Living Dead in Dallas, 3rd: Club Dead, etc.) by Charlaine Harris. It tells the story of the bairmaid Sookie Stackhouse who can read people's minds. In her world vampires exist and they "came out of the coffin' on national television two years earlier when japanese scientists developped a synthetic blood called Tru Blood, which allowed vampires to survive without feeding on human beings. Of course the situation is not that simple nor peacefull. It is a very good and original story, the idea always seemed very interesting to me... Come on, synthetic blood for vampires? LOL. I have already read some books of the series (until the 5th by now) and I liked the series, eventhough I was shocked at the first episode by how explicit it can get, but then I just got used to it and enjoyed... (Watch the series promo underneath).

Yesterday I watched the last epidose of True Blood's third season... So I will comment now on my thoughts of this season (be carefull, it may contain spoilers!). I think I can say this was the season I liked less of the three... Maybe because I was expecting something a bit different, due to the books. I think the story is getting further from the original. Not that it is a bad thing, Dexter for instance completly diverged from the books at the end of season 1, it has nothing to do with the books anymore but I love both stories... However, in True Blood's case, it is not that it is bad, it is just that I don't have a clear picture yet of where it is going... The first season was pretty true to the first book, the second a bit different, eventhough the background story was the same, but this third one is rather different, again some elements are the same, it even has some things we will only learn later in the books. I am very confident though that I have this opinion because I have read some of the books, I truely think that for people who either didn't read the books or read them all, wouldn't feel like this. I still strongly recommend this series for everyone eventhough I know some won't like it!
*Anxiously waiting for season 4!*
PS: Just found out that Jessica (yes, Jessica, not the actress) has a videoblog... It's so funny! Check it out!
