Love this series, 2nd only to Spartacus ! !

If your looking for a new series this is it, I know it sound cliché but it's truly amazing, it's completely unique & worth watching!

Please put closed caption (subtitles for hearing impaired) for uk viewer for season 1

This is an awesome programme: can't wait for the next an last season , it's going to be fantastic.

people say this is a twilight rip off, it's sooo not it's so much better than twilight and has a unique darker concept it's a great watch so worth the money unless ur a little frigid in which case don't watch it you will be appalled xx

Finally we have it released in HD!!!!!

For all those saying this is a twilight rip off, it's based of the sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, the first of which was published in 2001... BEFORE TWILIGHT ON BOOK EVEN CAME OUT! This really is a great show, and instead I would stop watching twilight.

True Blood season 1 was consistently good and I would buy it from itunes but it's not in HD, come on Apple if its in HD I'd buy it right now

Does this series 1/2 & 3 come with closed captioned (subtitles)...???

What can I say? The series bores me to tears;

-The contrived love story of a hundred-something vampire and what is essentially a child is absolutely ludicrous, insane, and to be frank, a little creepy. It is the equivalent of a 40 year old being interested in a 12 year old; something the show doesn't address in the slightest (the unique 'talents' of anna paquin's character only establishes her interest as a subject to study, not as a love interest), because it simply can't-there's no reason in the world why such an old and otherwise mentally stable person would be interested in someone who is so utterly uninteresting as an individual.

-The only character I can genuinely see the audience caring for is Tara, and her struggle with her alcaholic mother; the character breathes, reacts emotionally and realistically, and for all intents and purposes, goes above and beyond the call of duty. The vampire Bill is dead, quite literally. I don't blame the actor (he was a part of RSC, after all), but whoever's responsible should hang their head in shame-he feels almost nothing visually, and is as bland as the person sitting next to you on a bus stop, or in your office. The only motivations of his that you can deduce can be done so only from the dialogue; and to be frank, the dialogue is slim pickings-he is a plot device. A 'dreamy' quiet-giant/gentleman/man-of-few-words archetype that would sicken those with discriminating taste, or the good sense to know the carbon-copy of a stoic role model when they see it. Other characters are inane; Sam, the bar owner, has some inner demons, but you don't care. Plain and simple-he doesn't egg the audience on, and the audience doesn't give a rat's ****...Anna Paquin's character could be irritating, and relatable, but in no way artistically gratifying or culturally significant. A naive idiot with no discernable life-goal who has been given super-powers through the cruel irony of the world. The preformance is average. Jason, the hedonistic and womanizing brother is an idiot to laugh and point fingers at, but that gets old soon. It doesn't help that he is a one-note actor, who can only act as a 'concerned' jason, or 'paranoid' jason. Lafayette's shennanigans provide entertainment, but he hardly has 5 minutes per show.

-The storylines are boring. It's subjective, but I am able to enjoy vampire-related plots and approached this series with an open mind. I did not care one bit for the characters or the world they lived in by episode 6. Not 'ONE' BIT. Rent this, or find some other ways of watching this before putting the cash down; you might save yourself some money.

True blood is amazing BUT....

I am more a Vampire Diaries person... Either way it is still amazing

Amazing show,, luv it.

The books r reli good 2, altho the show is actually quite different 2 the books.

There's a cliff hanger at the end ov every episode, + I luv tha.

The best people in tha show is lafyette + eric. They bring a comical edge 2 tha show aswel as the horror part. Overal itz just brilliant, u reli won't disappointed

By this. Trust me. X x x

brilliant acting and brilliant story all round great tv show

What a show! Adult themed Vampire action with excellent storytelling in a modern setting! What I dreamed of as a child stuck with Salem's Lot! Only surpassed by Season 2!

I wanna fooki sooki on V!

well i must say, ive only just started to fully get into this show, and its absolutly fantastic, also highly addictive!.. theres been issues with people saying twilight have kinda of copied the idea of true blodd.. that bilge, its nothing like true blood..

True blood is an amazing programme which i expected to be like vampire meets girl, fall for each other, and then get boring, but no no no far from bit steamy at times due to sookies loser brother jason who barely has a brain, but the actors/ actresses are great !

i fully recommend this !!!!

5 STARS for the show. BUT...

Just got onto this utterly superb vampire lust fest and downloaded the first episode, only for iTunes to completely ruin it with bloody French subtitles. And no, there isn't an option to 'switch' them off. Hire it on Love Film with no subtitles and a whole lot cheaper too. iTunes disappoints again.

Can't be bettered.classic.buy all episodes now and watch them all over and over again!!

I'm not into vampires and never read the books, but still really enjoyed this original series. Brilliant characters and twisty intriguing who dunnits, pretty racy in parts too. Took a few episodes to get over the hard-to-swallow premise, that vampires exist, but eventually settled in and look forward to more. Anna Paquin is great in this, as is Nelsan Ellis (plays crossing cook Lafayette), Eric Northman (from 'Generation Kill') and Michelle Forbes' ('Battlestar Galactica') late introduced character is very promising.

i got this so i could watch it

but i cant i can only get it on my computer

it will not go on my ipod

and then i cant see a picture is this just me or is this ment to happen ?

True blood is definatly worth it! i have seen all of them and i love it.

this had all the thing a show should have with the ultimate series ending ready to be seen on (FX) in a couble of weeks i just want too know who killed the exorcisism lady in the car and why eric took lafiette

what a great show :D

I think this is truly the best new show of the decade and would strongly recommend people buying both seasons 1 and 2 in HD. The show is in a complete class of it's own and cannot be compared to kiddie crap like twilight. I adore this show, the charachters and love that the endings always leave you desperate for more. I cannot wait for season 3 to start on June 13th!

I think it's the best series going I really cannot wait for series2 I hear its coming soon, my favriote characters are bill and sookie they're all really good at acting but I think maybe in series2 there should be some sort of vampire fight lol :)

Lovee This Seriess . Cant wait to watch the second one x.

hope they make a 3rd series x

This is one of my favourite shows of the last year! Funny, sexy and addictive, it had me glued from the very first episode. Even though the show is based on vampires "coming out of the coffin" into society, it somehow makes the plot believable ragardless. Thought the price was a wee bit steep for the series, but hey, I don't care iTunes, it's worth it :o)!

SPOLIER DONT READ IF WILL BE OFFENDED

Im Actuly In The Process Off Readng The [ i think ] EIGHT Books Of The Sookie Stackhouse novels aka true blood, and i absolutly loved the first THREE i'd say :) then all of a sudden fairys got involved And Shape Shifters, And It GOes Off The Concept Of vampires, Which I Am A HUGE Fan Of Vampires, So Ive Actully Stopped Reading As It Hasn't caputered My Interest; Im Extremly Dissapointed As I Love The First Three And Would Love To No What Happens, But I Just Wanted Vampires Vampires Vampires !!! :) x

True Blood is the best TV Series ive ever watched. Maybe because im a crazy Twilight fan, and recently cant get enough of vampires but who cares! Its so addictive, i couldnt reccommend it more. Funny, Romantic, Scary, Full of drama.. its too perfect!

Season 2 has been out a long time in the US and it's available on Australia iTunes - when will it be available from UK iTunes????????????????

True Blood is one of the best show I have ever seen! Great acting, characters, story lines and laughs! 10 out of 10

Why people are comparing this to Meyer's Twilight Saga, I'll never know. Especially as they are saying Harris has copied Meyer. More feasible to be the other way around. Harris' first novel in the TruBlood series was printed years before Twilight.

This is a well thought out series, with known actors mingling with those less well known. Plus, having the brit actor makes it all the better. The actors seem to believe their characters, making them all the more real.

Great program, and at a great price. Nice one iTunes

Was wounding when season 2 will be in the UK store its already out in the US.

Great programme - fast paced and not girly at all. When will we get Season Two?

I too was not keen on this when i saw the first episode, but i carried on watching and love it now, and i watch it now just to see Eric who i think is fab and could bite my neck any night he likes!! lol, love Anna's acting and the rest of the cast also, i don't think it is anything like Twilight, they are very different. so stop comparing it's just silly. This is way more grown up!!!!, can't wait for season three to air in the states, as i have watched season two already as i said i got hooked....

For all you who love dark humour, gritty TV Drama , this one TV show is an absoulte classic and so addicative! Just to clarify to you Twighlight lovers, True Blood is not a repliate or trying to copy the Twighlight Saga, True Blood was written 8 years ago well before Twighlight and True Blood book 10 is out May 2010.

If you like this, why not try and watch Six Feet Under, now that is one show NOT to be missed!

Amazing acting. Brilliant story nothing not to like!!People need to stop saying this is twighlight it is so much better. Plus how can it be a rip of if the Sookie Stackhouse book were written before twighlight!!!!

This series is rubbish. Bad acting, seems almost like pantomime. Some of the scenes are LOL funny (unintentionally), there's nothing to like about any of the characters. No chemistry between Bill & Sookie. Too many loose ends and contrived story lines.

ok yes you can see it on fx but if you havent got fx and if you do and enjoyed the series then get it now also itunes managed to release it before channel 4 started aireing it so if you've seen some episodes and want to see the rest before it aires then get it now...it may be seen as a ripp off of twilight but it actually came out in the us around the same time as twilight did plus the book series has been around longer anyway the main difference between this and twighlight is that true blood's story is dark, sexy and humourous in some places whereas twighlight features a more romantic aproach also because true blood is a tv series it actualy diggs deeper into the story than twilight gets a chance to if you lke the series then i also recomend the books, the first of which (dead until dark) is available as an audiobook on itunes

Brilliant series. Funny sexy and full of twists and turns and plenty of fangs. This is twighlight but only for adults. I need Season 2. Come on Itunes use Apples wieght to sell season 2 because the 3rd season is launching soon in the USA.

Come on, you can't keep us waiting like this? Get season 2 on i tunes please !!!

So hooked from the first episode and not had that since c.s.i first came out,not even 24 or the wire had me as hooked as this series.Bring on season 2.

Awsome of awsomness! This series is the best I have watched in an age. A must buy for any vampire fans

So so good, does anyone know when season 2 is set to air on fx and hopefully on i tunes?

This series is great. The cast portray the characters brilliantly. I absolutely love Eric - he's fantastic. I read the books and i'm happily surprised at how similar they are to each other. Personally though i like the books better

but if you like seriously good TV, vampires and the supernatural this series is for you...

(If you don't know what the series is about: Sookie Stackhouse is a waitress who is telepathic. When she meets a vampire she is delighted by the fact she can't read his mind; its peaceful. they fall in love but there are complications like Bill's boss Eric and Sookie's boss Sam who really likes her.)

what i like most about this series is how it is not all focussed on sookie completely but includes her brother and the other townspeople. it is a wonderful series

i like the true blood series it is ablosuetly amazing a must buy

For all of you romantic Twighlight lovers, Stay away from True Blood "it's to grown up for you".

And before you bleat it's a rip off, the Sookie Stackhouse books were written four years before Twighlight was even thought of.

Anything by the director and creator of Six Feet Under has to be something to take notice of

the acting by all the cast including the extras is superb,and once you get past some of the slightly graphic mucky bits the story keeps you wanting more, right down to the nailbitting finishes so you have to watch the next episode to see what happens.

If you have not watched it why ? And if you do watch it make sure you stick with the first few episodes I promise you it will get it's fangs in you and you will be hooked..Roll on Series 2

Season 1 was awesome but I can't get hold of Season 2 episode 3?

Worth the price!

True Blood is the best TV series I know; it's romance and vampires mixed into one.

iTunes UK, where is the HD version!?
