True Blood has been garnering, mostly favorable, reviews recently and this should only increase in the coming days as the TV Critics Association press tour gets into full swing this week.

Here’s a sampling of recent reviews (Please note, for respect/copyright reasons we will NOT reproduce the full article here):


"True Blood": First taste of HBO's vampire drama from Alan Ball
Cynthia Littleton / Variety Weblogs

“Ball is definitely not Pasadena anymore. I am pretty much convinced that Anna Paquin (pictured) is the best thing about the show -- by far. She's adorable, and does a lot with material that could otherwise sound ridiculous, in the wrong hands. (I'll leave it others to decide if she nails the accent.)”

'True Blood' could be 'True Love': A first look at HBO's vampire tale
Curt Wagner / Red Eye-Chicago Tribune

“Ball has said he wanted to ignore all the vampire clichés, and he has. The series is more Southern gothic tale than vampires attack thriller. Ball uses the vampire tale as a metaphor to hang a love story about prejudice and bigotry—and some viewers aren’t going to like that.”

HBO vamps it up with "True Blood"
Joel Brown / Meevee

“Anyone who's seen "Buffy" knows what will happen next: ultraviolence, heavy breathing and the exchange of bodily fluids and risque double entendres. "True Blood" adds Backwoods redecks, vamp bashing, unrequited love of various kinds, racial and sexual politics, and some major, major kinkiness. Also, lots of long walks in the mossy, cricket-chirping bayou night.”
