True Blood - The Complete 1st Season (5 Disc Set) reviews

True Blood is brilliant. I went into this series not know what to expect, all I had to go on was rave reveiws by a couple of work mates, I took a chance and I am so glad I did – I CAN'T WAIT FOR SEASON 2!!!!!!! Well worth watching. Anna Paquin, you are awesome.

The complete Trueblood first series all in one place… and I consumed it in a day. Having recently read all the Sookie Stackhouse novels I was pleasantly surprised that the series kept all the best parts of the books while adding a couple more storylines and beefing up a couple of the characters.

My second favorite TV series. (1st is Dexter)

doesn't drag out curtain problems that occur like typical big budget American series.

If the world had vampires this series demonstrates what it would be like accurately. with a plot that's semi believable.

Also the camera work lighting and cinematography make the entire series stunning.

Curtain parts are not for the faint hearted and the series doesn't hide anything to keep the R down. brilliant acting.

very funny.

very sad.

I have always been a sucker for a Vampire Movie and collect them, so to be able to get an entire season of True Blood was a no brainer.

The Story is easy to follow but also gets you guessing from the start…

Great to see Anna in the lead Role and doing a Dam fine job of it to.

I mostly enjoyed being able to settle in and watch the episodes completely uninterrupted… BLISS ^V^ that alone is reason enough to own your own copy of this truly enjoyable series… cant wait for season 2

Highly recommend to all ",

I had heard from people that the series was good but I hadn't been able to watch it on TV at the time. Finally ordered the 1st Season and picked a time that I could watch it in peace & quiet. Was absolutely enthralled once I started watching it. Anna Paquin seemed a bit dull at first but the more I got into the story the more I wanted to watch. I was truly disappointed when I came to the end of the series because I wanted to know what else was going to happen. Can't wait for Series 2 to be released so I can hide away and watch it from start to finish.

True Blood follows the story of waitress Sookie and vampire Bill. It has a great storyline, vivid characters and a brilliant southern setting. Would recommend to any vampire lover!

This is a great Series that I really love and My friends love too. The DVD was a great buy and I cant wait to buy the rest of the series of True Blood

SO so so so so good! Highly addictive! Every episode ends with you wanting to watch the next! A must have!!

Forget all the other vampire series, this is the one to own, complete with our own Anna Paquin(Who it fantastic). Love it

This is a very cool program, I like that it can be serious or funny at the same time.

Great series for vampire fans – differs from the storylines in the books – but very watchable.

Owning it on DVD! Fantastic edition to the paranormal library at home.

I didn't watch any of the TV series but wow I loved the dvd's of the 1st season and have just ordered the 2nd season off Mighty Ape.

Whatever you do don't let your young, vampire loving, children watch this. At the beginning of the series it is way more “adult” than I'd like to see, but aside from that the story is gripping and well acted. As the series progresses it becomes far less pornographic. Just don't watch it with your mother in the room!

True blood is the best adaptation of a book to tv series/movie I have seen. I loved the books and while the tv series has stayed almost true to the characters and storylines, there is enough variation to keep it interesting and unpredictable. Looking forward to purchasing season 2!

I missed the first series on TV as we don't have Sky. Caught the second series & got hooked once Prime was available on Freeview. All makes a bit more sense once you have seen the first series! Very cool!

This was something my girlfriend was into, and constantly tried to get me to watch it. I eventually buckled and was pleasantly surprised with how good this series is.

It fits under that category of ‘vampire romance’ type stuff I would say. But is surprisingly addictive. The episodes are quite long (which is good in my opinion) and each episode really keeps you glued to the screed.

Some of the commentaries on the episodes are quite good as well, gives a little more insight into each episode.

If you were thinking about buying this one but unsure, go for it!! It's worth it, value for money. 5/5

I'll admit I watched True Blood on the back of my Twilight obsession, but it is light years ahead in every way. It's sexed up, but Sookie Stackhouse manages to skate the line between sexy & innocent, strong & a damsel in distress. She's a compelling heroine, Bill is every bit as hot and charming as a good vamp should be, and the rest of the characters have their own intertwining stories which mean there is never a dull moment throughout the series.

I can't really fault anything, the casting, script, filming, even the opening credits are just brilliantly done. I've just consumed the entire thing in a day – season 2, hurry up!

If you liked shows like Roswell and Midnight you will love True Blood as it's ten times more intriguing, witty, suprising and satisfying. At the end of every episode my husband and I look at each other and go “what the!?!” and can't wait to watch the next. There are some stellar comic moments provided by Sookie's brother Jason (played by Vinny from Home & Away) and he's awfully pleasant to look at! Anna Paquin is also suprisingly convincing as a southerner. There is a distinct improvement in all the actors performances in season two though as they all become more familiar with their roles. Definately worth purchasing just so funny, scary and suprising. A+++++

This series will have you hooked from the first episode whether you've read the books or not. Highly recommended

This series is erotic and witty with a convincingly real deep and steamy connection between the two lead characters. It is “Twilight” for grown-ups!

You Must Try TRUEBLOOD! For those who want a more graphic and nitty gritty view of a vampire show, definitely recommend this show, as it delivers more than you could enjoy in only one viewing. I've seen each episode multiple times as it's destined to be a classic with fans of this genre.

Note: Not for younger viewers as it does get quite graphic with violence, language and sexual content, but for those viewers prepared for these things True Blood does not disappoint!

I loved this series, and it's always so great to watch episodes back to back when there are so many interesting characters and plot lines. Also, it's really good to catch up on now since the second season's going to be airing on Prime soon, and I've heard that one's even better than the first! Can't wait!!!

True Blood is an awesome series, they based the 1st season on the 1st book, and it was a very good adaptation to it. They beefed out a few non essential characters to give it more story, which made it all that much better. I loved this series very much and i cannot wait for the 2nd one.

When i first heard of the programme i really wanted to watch it but problems with the TV prevented me from seeing it, i decided that i would wait for the dvd. I recently received the DVD as a present and loved it to bits, the series was kept very similiar to the first book (with some major differences though that they shouldnt have added in my oppinion). I liked the series very much and im looking forward to the second season.
