If there's another TV show that can approach its ability to meld melodramatic horror, fun and social metaphor, I haven't seen it.June 26, 2011
True Blood returns with too many new characters, not enough time with the characters I like, a general evasion of the most prickly parts of last season's finale, and some plodding hints at a lumbering dramatic direction for this season.June 26, 2011
If you're addicted to True Blood's brand of smoldering melodrama, well, there's a lot of it this season. And it looks as though about half of it might actually be worth watching.June 26, 2011
It's a little wearing sometimes, to be honest, though it has enough narrative strength to keep hard-core fans happy.June 26, 2011
As this story has lost credibility, the vampires as a plausible metaphor for "accepting difference" is falling apart.June 26, 2011
Luckily Blood is still buoyed by its weird, Gothic zest and the performers all operate with the same vibe of ripe sexuality and restrained camp.June 26, 2011
Blood creator Alan Ball knows how to juggle multiple pretty people and knotty, danger-stuffed story lines for the maximum amount of breathless romance and over-the-top action.June 26, 2011
We should be encouraged-and thanks to Shaw's boffo performance, delighted-to see True Blood thinking, even for a moment, about controlling itself.June 26, 2011
It's getting a little long in the tooth now, but new blood is still capable of energizing True Blood.June 26, 2011
I wouldn't miss it for all the hush puppies in Louisiana.
