man and i really find it hard to believe that the wonderful alan ball have anything to do with this mess . have see the first two episode thus far and i think i can safely say this show isn not go to be on my must see list . it just get so many thing work against it . none of the actor cast be particularly good . anna paquin a the lead character sookie and be just awful . i remember her be well in a lot of other thing i have see her in so maybe it just the writing . she not really much fun to look at either and there be moment where to be honest she look downright ugly . the actor who play bill be marginally well and if only because his character be suppose to be sort of wooden and aloof . the other actor do their best but with the cliché character with difficult to perform accent they be give it a tough job . tara be an absolute misery to watch and rutina wesley absolutely murder the accent . it like nail on a chalkboard bad . almost a awful be nelsan elli and it difficult to understand what he even say sometimes . both his character as well a tara also seem a bit racist to me . i do not know and have a character say whycome on an hbo show that isn not the wire just seem a bit odd . round out the cast so far be sookie dodder grandmother and her sex addict brother and and the only bit of genius casting i have see in william sanderson a the sheriff . the story seem to be meander towards it destination at this point and with no real worry about keep the viewer interested . the romance stuff be very dark shadow sy . although this show up the camp factor from something like those old dark shadow episode time about ten . at time it seem so campy to me and that i just have to assume it be intend to be . but unlike a show such a buffy and that pull camp off masterfully and this show do not . out of place with the campiness be the extreme gore and graphic sex of the show . i be not averse to either of these when they be do well and a they have in many other hbo show but here at least they prolong rough sex scene involve jason stackhouse seem a bit over the top and pointless . about the only nice thing i can really think to say about this mess be that i like the opening title sequence . hbo have have a string of bad luck with their show lately and i hope they cancel this after the first season and try to get something well on the air .
