For more than 20 years, HBO has been home to the largest shows in the cable, but in the middle The sopranos and game of ThronesThe network was transported by a very different type of drama than for a few years, it was the most popular series on the planet. True bloodA supernatural romance of southern Gothic terror was different from anything on television when it premiered in 2008 and there is still nothing similar. Whiso makes it interesting that since the peak of his popularity with the photo sessions soaked in blood in Rolling Stone, innumerable goods and turning Alexander Skarsgard and Joe Manganiello in stars, the series now is a premium cable.
True Blood starts normal and becomes very strange
True blood Slowly introduced spectators to the world of Bon temps, Louisiana, a small town in Bayou where a bar is, everyone knows everyone else and nothing is exciting. Until the vampires are public, thanks to the synthetic blood that replaces the need to consume humans, and the city is suddenly a supernatural seedbed when Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) a veteran of the civil war returns to the city. Putting his sook for Sookie (Anna Paquin), the wheels are launched as a simple mystery of murder that ends up dealing with government conspiracies, the Yakuza, the corrupt churches, a vampire, was enough.
By the time the story reaches the point where vampires are using an RPG pitcher to get a building, True blood I couldn’t do anything wrong. The sudden absurd soap opera, which revolved around different romantic matches throughout the cast every season, crumbled under the smallest scrutiny, but it doesn’t matter because the show is fun from beginning to end. While Twilight If the teenagers had captivated and declared themselves in the Jacob team or the Edward team, HBO was presenting the adult version, with fans defending Bill the southern vampire, Eric the Vampire Viking, Sam The Bartender or Alcide The Weewolf as the true love of Sookie.
Freely based on a series of books
Based on the chatlaine Harris series, The Southern Vampire Mysteries, True blood He suddenly followed the first three novels in his first seasons before finding his own path, drastically changing what characters live or died, that Sookie was dating, and simply leaving aside one of his suitors of the books, the massive huling, the massive huling, the massive huling, the massive huling, the massive huling. In the seven seasons, the series averaged around 4 million viewers, which could not be much compared to NCISBut for a premium cable series, it was massive. His success helped to convince HBO to adapt another series of books that presented a lot of violence and blood, he even thought that he was still incomplete until today, a song of fire and ice, which became game of Thrones.
So why is it True blood Not as popular today as Vampire newspapersA series that defeated classifications despite being in premium cable? The problem could be that it was always for an adult audience and that it cannot not have the same attraction for adolescents and preteens as other vampire shows, which helps perpetuate the fan base of one generation to the next one, and like both The sopranos and game of ThronesThe end left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans. That mouth mouth filters through social networks, and with the huge wave of supernatural fiction of romantic vampires coming to an end, it is a show trapped in a very specific era.
You can relive when the vampires ruled pop culture by transmitting True blood In Max.
