Critics' reviews

"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"

Matt Roush: TV Guide
"Part mystery, part fantasy, part comedy, and all wildly imaginative exaggeration (...). Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"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"

Tim Goodman: SFGATE
"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"

Maureen Ryan: Chicago Tribune
"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"

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"'True Blood' makes little effort to rethink genre conventions"

James Poniewozik: Time
"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)"

Linda Stasi: New York Post
"'True Blood' is a soap opera at its core, which is why it is so overpopulated with sexy characters"

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
