True Blood Season 7

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Well I just finished watching True Blood from start to finish, all 7 seasons over the last month or so. I have to say, for all those folks out there that thought the last few seasons were a waste of time, watch it from start to finish over the course of a month or so where you can binge watch it some nights and an episode here and there when life it just too busy. It told a story as a whole. The last three episodes broke my heart to pieces. I now know why so many fans out there were just that… total fans. Sure some bits were a bit strange but we are talking about a show about a small town where they have vampires, shape shifters, fairies, werewolves and god only knows what else all trying to get along. When you watch a show like this, as it was originally presented, one episode every week and then have to wait a year to see the next season you loose some of the traction and even interest but watching it fully like this was a treat that I’m glad I got to experience. I really hope they eventually release a blue ray package with all 7 seasons as I will gladly add this to my collection.

True Blood is an excellently written series. I have watched it since it began, and recently bought this dvd set for my nephew. It is nothing like the Twilight series, and in my experience, people who really love Twilight usually do not care for this series – again, simply because the two are nothing alike. Some of the main characters here (as well as supporting roles) are vampires, but that’s not to say this is a show “about vampires.” This series is really best described as being about the people and goings-on of a small, backwoods Louisiana town where some of the people just happen to be vampires.

As mentioned above, the writing is excellent. One of the best aspects about this series is that it is definitely NOT predictable! Not in the least. You never know where the writers are going to take you…from one episode to the next, or from one season to the next. The character development, story lines, acting, directing, casting and effects are all first rate. Considering that the series has its fair share of killing (although not overly so, and it’s certainly not the focus of the show), the series couldn’t be called “dark” or gory by any means. I also would not call this show necessarily “violent” either. (Personally, I don’t care for violent shows or movies, and I find this series to be tolerable on the violence scale. It does have killing and blood and bodies and body parts, after all there are vampires in it, but even so, it’s done in a way that is not offensive or vulgar.)

There is comedy, drama, action and suspense…and very well choreographed cliff-hangers to end each episode. Despite the blood, death and suspense, the series as a whole is well balanced with comedy and other character’s story lines which help keep it from being overly dark. There is a quite a bit of nudity – not raunchy, but tasteful and almost artful. So if you’re sensitive to nudity, just be forewarned…or simply cover your eyes during those parts, because the story lines and acting make this series well worth watching. I easily give 5-stars to every season.

Another refreshing bonus is that the episode commentary for every season is also worth watching. The actors, directors and writers actually contribute thoughtful and interesting tidbits that add to the episodes and the series. It’s best to watch the commentaries after you’ve completed the season because sometimes they accidentally reveal things that happen later in that season.

This series is well worth purchasing.

Great story retelling of vampire cannon. Some scenes I laughed out loud they were so wonderfully written and performed. One thing I do wish is that there were less gratuitous sex scenes. At first its tantalizing, but with any exciting thing it loses it’s effect if thrown in your face too often, like the F-bombs dropping nearly every other word you think they’re having a competition for the Guiness Book of World Records for the most times the F-bomb is said in the dialogue. It got to be funny. One could get blind drunk having a drinking game with that one word alone.I felt let down by season four that Bill and Sookie were astranged from each other after such a strong start, but I stayed with the show and hung in there just because I wanted to see it end well. I’ve binge watched it and now am on season 7 and Sookie still appears to be sleeping her way through the men in the show. Whaaat happened writers??? I’m sticking it out, though, through episode 2 of season 7, but I don’t hold out much hope. The ending better have them both smiling happily married with 7 vampire/faerie hybrids.
Well…I just finished the laat episode of season 7 and it did wrap itself up in a nice big red bow, didn’t it. I’m just so sad that Bill and Sookie didn’t get their happy ending. Now I have to unzombie myself after that binge watch and think happier thoughts. I’m glad I watched it all, though.
