[Highly rated reviewer]

superb........................

this is a superb series starring Anna Paquin (who won an oscar for her role in The Piano).

The series revolves around Sookie Stackhouse (played by Anna Paquin), who is a telepathic waitress living in the rural town of Bon Temps in Louisiana two years after the invention of a synthetic blood called TruBlood that has allowed vampires to 'come out of the coffin' and allow their presence to be known to mankind.

Now they are struggling for equal rights and assimilation, while anti-vampire organizations begin to gain momentum.

Sookie's world is turned upside down when she falls in love with 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton (played by Stephen Moyer) and for the first time she must confront the trials and tribulations that come with a relationship with a vampire.

Other characters in this series are - Tara Thornton (played by Rutina Wesley) who is Sookie's tough-talking best friend, her womanizing brother Jason (played by Ryan Kwanten) and her shape-shifting boss Sam Merlotte (played by Sam Trammell).

Well worth watching !
