If these numerous “best of” list rankings are proving anything, it is what a lasting impression True Blood left on viewers this year. Critics praise the show for being fun and outrageous. Months after the Season two finale, everyone still remembers what a good time we all had as True Blood fans this summer.
One popular TV blog, Televisionary, ranks True Blood as one of the best US dramas, along with other HBO series Big Love, AMC’s Mad Men, and ABC’s Lost.
In its second season, HBO’s vampire drama True Blood went from being a guilty pleasure to a series that balanced the outright campy with the truly transcendent.
It credits the show for growing from the first season into a deeper universe with fascinating supporting characters like Alexander Skarsgard’s Eric, Nelsan Ellis’ Lafayette, Rutina Wesley’s Tara, and Deborah Ann Woll’s Jessica. The story arc with Eric’s maker Godric, played by young Danish actor Allan Hyde, only lasted a few episodes, but it was emotionally compelling and memorable. Alan Ball has created a wonderful combination of the light-hearted and the heavy, so that the show can be fun and exciting, but also powerful.
There are few series that are as gleefully unpredictable than True Blood, a series that rewrites the rules about storytelling while spinning a bloody good yarn.
Here’s to more unpredictable and thrilling fun in 2010 with Season three!
