"True Blood" is a little less cartoonish and over-the-top than it sometimes seems. Or maybe we're too overwhelmed or distracted or disenchanted to recognize the true nature of this cartoonish, over-the-top, morally mixed-up world we're living in.

"True Blood" is truly terrific.
June 14, 2009
Addictively watchable, not so much a guilty pleasure as a binge food. Cable catnip, in other words.

The fleshed-out secondary characters have better material than Sookie and her vampire Bill.

I'm happy to report that this season, there's More Blood! More Torture! More Killing! and More Intrigue! than last season.

As good as Paquin and company play it, this is another quality pay-cable show that does have a secret handshake. Or bite.

True Blood will never be confused with the high-quality projects HBO has staked its reputation and brand on, but it can be an entertaining pop/pulp thriller with a fair amount of comedy sprinkled in.

I'd have an easier time taking True Blood less seriously if it could make up its mind as to how seriously it wants to be taken.

Ball has brushed up on his Buffy reruns, opening up the show's universe to far more devilish creatures and ideas, and it seems the further he steps away from the vamps, the closer he gets to the beating heart of the human.

Sly and beguiling, it offers up desperate souls and sweaty bodies, hungry vampires and fearful humans.
