I didn't have hbo when this came out but i wanted to see it so bad because i love vampire stories and i remember there being a hype about it... and now i do not understand why. Somehow I've watched 7 episodes now that it's available on netflix. First i thought i should give it a couple because shows often adjust and find their feet after the first few but, this thing is not finding anything. The acting is bad, the plot is wonky, the abundance of sex scenes is absolutely unnecessary, the acting is bad, the characters are annoyingly exaggerated (Bill is too brooding, Sookie is too "naive", the brother is too stupid, the friend is way too mean and angry and shoutty ALL the time), the acting is BAD, and then out of nowhere GORE! In your face and gross and over the top for a bit like a bad B movie. So far, the only scene i've actually enjoyed is when Lafayette got mad at some boys not liking how he makes burgers. How did this go on for 7 seasons???
I never liked Twilight much and first i kept thinking S.M. had riped this series (or books) but, if she did, good for her; i was able to go through Twilight Movies and books once thinking "meh, at least it's entertaining", i don't think i'm gonna be able to watch any more of this trainwreck.
