	Author	Review
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"Graphically sexy and scary, and often wildly funny, 'True Blood', (...), turns Charlaine Harris' rollicking mystery novels into a broadly entertaining, deliciously twisted slice of modern Southern Gothic"	POS
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"Part mystery, part fantasy, part comedy, and all wildly imaginative exaggeration (...). Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Tim Goodman SFGATE	"Both Paquin and Moyer do well here. And 'True Blood' is fleshed out with other interesting characters getting to spout well-written lines. But at times the whole thing seems silly"	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"It's not surprising that Ball gets the mixture wrong a fair amount of the time; what's surprising is that it's possible for such a strange gumbo to work at least some of the time"	NEU
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"I'd say that the author is more vivid, subtle, and funny in her portrayal of Southern life; I'll be surprised if her fans aren't disappointed by this adaptation. The best thing about Ball's shows is their opening credits"	NEU
United States	James Poniewozik Time	"'True Blood' makes little effort to rethink genre conventions"	NEU
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"HBO's new series from death-obsessed Alan Ball, creator of the legendary 'Six Feet Under', whose new show 'True Blood', won't so much make your blood run cold as it will leave you cold. Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"'True Blood' is a soap opera at its core, which is why it is so overpopulated with sexy characters"	POS
