I just watched the first two episodes of True Blood and all I have to say is... wow!
Now you guys seem like even bigger faggots to me.
This show almost couldn't have been any more disappointing. Granted, my expectations were really high, but the first two episodes didn't even come close. Sookie is mopey and uninteresting, they did next to nothing to piqué my curiosity in the vampire, and the setting, my god the setting, sleepy, rural Louisiana at night. The only thing this show has going for it is that hot waitress.
Maybe I'm just spoiled by the absolute masterpieces that are The Wire, Mad Men, and to a bit of a lesser extent, Entourage. I watched an episode of Sex in the City with my girlfriend the other night for the first time. I certainly didn't expect to like it, but I did think that I'd at least get why women like it. It was horrible!! I have no clue why even women like that show. The plot is mind-numbing and Sarah Jessica Parker is a jaw-droppingly bad actress. I was honestly shocked. I kept thinking, "this is Sex in the City?!" It was hard for me to see how even the most shi-shi-poo-poo of women could find it appealing, and in the same way, I have no idea what you homos see in True Blood.
I'll give it 2-4 more episodes to change my mind, but my hopes are not high with what the first two hours brought.
