In the books he's a selfish womanizer, but he never came across as a dumb blonde stereotype as he does here.Ĭharacter-wise the biggest letdowns for me are Eric and Pam. On the negative side: I don't really like how they've dumbed down Jason. Also she is now Lafayette's cousin and they steal any scenes with them in - they have great chemistry together. Tara is another character who played a minor role in the books, but who has now been expanded in the books she appeared a few times on the arm of a couple of no-good partners, but now she is feisty, independent, dealing with her alcoholic mother and possibly trying to hide a deep depression. He's my favourite chacter in the television series for sure. The things he does may not seem like much at the time, but they swing back around. Not only that but his expanded role has a knock on effect for other characters too Jason Stackhouse, Amy, Tara, Tara's mum etc. Thank god that they didn't stick to the books for him - the trouble he causes provides drama and comic relief in equal doses. Bill's character has been ever so slightly tweaked from the books version, but Sam is pretty true to form.įor me what keep me watching the television series is the character of Lafayette. The characters of Bill Compton and bar owner Sam Merlotte are also just how I'd always imagined them to be. Sookie is not a butt kicking smartass who refuses help when she clearly needs it, but she isn't a dependant wet blanket either. Her portrayal is just like the character that I've had in my head for the past decade. Anna Paquin is one of my favourite actresses and she once again gives a superb performance. The central character of Sookie Stackhouse is just like the book. When I watched the DVDs I became involved with the characters and their additional baggage the books are first person, so we only get Sookie's perspective and opinions, so the television version is better then the books in that respect. If you've read the books then there is no suspense to be had - I didn't bother becoming interested in certain characters because I knew that they wouldn't be around for long and I quickly became frustrated that the characters would be stood next to the killer and not suspect a thing. The issue I had is that the series is very faithful to the book - the whole first season is merely a breakdown of the first book and whilst it has slightly been mixed up and some new characters with their own problems have been thrown into the mix, the main storyline is the same the serial killer targeting fangbangers. I then stopped watching it and when my sister gave me the DVD set for my birthday, it took me months to pick the set up and watch it. When I first heard that the Charlaine Harris 'Southern Vampire Mysteries' book series was being adapted into a television series I was excited and when TRUE BLOOD eventually debuted on UK television I was on the edge of my seat. But someone has taken an exception to what they see as filthy and Bon Temps is about to become home to a serial killer. It's seems that some other female residents aren't as horrified by vampires as others assume either some women enjoy experimenting by sleeping with vampires for the thrill. You see Sookie is clairvoyant and the dead (so to speak) minds of vampires are the only ones she can't hear, so for the first time in her life she feels normal around someone. Whilst most of Bon Temps aren't happy to discover the vampire in their midst, waitress Sookie Stackhouse is thrilled by Bill's arrival. How about because their old family home is there? That's the reason that Bill Compton comes to town. However, in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps it's business as usual, I mean why would vampires even bother going there? * If the allocated width is met before the height, then the Celebrity will become slightly shorter than their real life height, and for our Minis it may mean they are slightly shorter than 60cm.Vampire's recently came out of the, ahem, coffin and revealed themselves to the world to mostly fear, mixed with fascination, worship and desire.
