HBO does everything better! True Blood is by far the best vampire tale. HBO contracted Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) to adapt Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse novels. Ball turned a simple vampire tale potent social commentary. He integrates humor, tragedy, erotica, fantasy, and mystery into every episode. The first season centered on the relationship between an undead Civil War victim, Bill, and Sookie Stackhouse. The show’s setting, a swampy Louisiana parish, complements the series macabre and perverse arcs. Religion and vampire rights collide after the invention pf synthetic blood. Can vampires be welcomed into “day-walker” society?
