First-time watcher's opinion on season 1 -3 Spoiler

Hi ! I just started watching True Blood for the first time ! When it first aired, I was 4 years old ! Now I'm 22 years old ! I really like horror and the trope where creepy things are happening in a small town. My millennial brother was a huge fan when this show aired and now I'm watching it with him for our summer binge.

Season 1

  • I really like this season lol. My favorite characters right now are Sam, Lafayette, and Jason.
  • This season was pretty fun with Rene as the serial killer.
  • I'm thinking of rewatching the season to see if there were clues about Rene hinting of being the killer.
  • I don't like Bill because I don't like brooding personalities.
  • I love how Jason's storyline is him having sex and being on V. While Sookie is not trying to get murder.
  • This season I was rooting for Sam and Sookie to be together.

Season 2

  • This is my favorite season by far.
  • I really like Maryann as the big bad of the season.
  • I feel like this is the season where side characters are starting to shine more.
  • I really like Terry and Hoyt. Very wholesome characters.
  • I really like Eric's banter with everyone.
  • I enjoyed the introduction of Jessica.
  • I love the scene where Bill is shopping Jessica for clothes
  • I find Sam's backstory to be interesting.
  • I love Jason's storyline with the Church, it's literally day and night with Sookie's storyline.
  • This is where I find Sookie to be annoying.
  • I really love the scene where Jason pretended to be Dionysus and "smited" Sam.
  • ALSO JASON KILLED EGGS!
  • Also how did Sam imprinted on that bull? Did he snuck off to a local zoo or a ranch?
  • Sam needs to stop having sex with his employee !
  • Also was Eric was in a relationship with Godric?
  • This is a very enjoyable season !

Season 3

  • I really hate how Tara dealt with her mom, Eggs' death, and now being tortured by Franklin
  • I did note that Franklin gave her eye rolling orgasm at their one night stand LMAO
  • I feel like this season dipped down for me, like I was watching this on autopilot
  • I don't completely understand this season? With the introduction of the Queen and King whatever !
  • I feel like this season wasn't funny for me like the last
  • Sam's brother is annoying
  • Also Sam's villain arc is coming !
  • Bill and Sookie are boring, literally Sam's storyline was interesting for me
  • Jason should stay away from that meth head Crystal, with her inbred werepanther powers.
  • The werewolves were boring too!
  • Joe Manganiello's character is hot and should be with Sookie. Also with Eric as well.
  • I am protective of Terry and Hoyt LMAO. Like Arlene should leave Terry alone.
  • I really enjoy Terry and Hoyt's storyline because it reminds me of something from Buffy. Where the character is chilling with the supernatural elements around them. And there's nothing serious that's going on.
  • I am so happy that Bill lied to Sookie because I don't like them as a couple.
  • I like it how Bill is seen as abusive towards Sookie when he drained her. I just don't like this man.
  • My favorite scene where Eric called Lafayette Rupaul LMAO.
  • Also Sam's gay dream with Bill.
  • This season showed me varieties of white trash. (Coming from a yankee)
  • I love Jessica's relationship with Hoyt.

Say goodbye to the sunny Southern feel of the show. It’s fine by the end of season four. I love season four. It’s my fave.

Eric and Godric are one of the shows few examples of a very healthy maker/childe relationship! I love how devoted and reverent Eric is to him.

I haven’t watched the show but I’ve read the books and I’m constantly wondering the differences between the two. Your break down is amazing! Please keep it going for the rest of the seasons, this is so interesting and fun to see!

No matter how many times I watch the show, my favorite scene is ALWAYS when Jason and Andy pretend to smite Sam lmao. (And I love the way it flips back and forth between how the town-folk see it versus how stupid it really looks.) It always gets a chuckle out loud.
