True Blood is OK to be really really honest.. nothing special bout it at all.

I guess its the 1st TV series that has porno type sex scenes in it and yet not cencored.

I started watching it and wasnt aware that it had so much of X-Rated contents.. and i was watching it in my hall.. Good God Lord of Sweet Mother Nature! i had to shut it off :rofl: but the story and plot and all not tht appealing :( For me its a struggler.. ie. i have to struggly myself to watch it and be gripped to it.

Well for me i was watching the 720P version in the hall on my lcd ;)
I have watched a hell load of series but nothing as explicit like this .

May be i have to watch it on my comp ...:ohyeah:

How is the story line for Trueblood , any other series with which u can compare it ? (Trueblood fans)

I assume you haven't watched Oz, Sopranos or Entourage.

lol ok ok :P .. i have watched Sopranos, Entourage and Dexter !!

But nothing like a chained scene in the first episode of a series :P

As i said i do not have a any problem with it, just want to know to what series i can compare this to ?? :cool2:
 
^Well, its an adult version of Twilight. It has all the cliches that you may find in any Vampire love story but this one is atleast entertaining. If you like vampire stories in general, no reason why you shouldn't like True Blood.

In terms of explicit nudity, the prize goes to Oz, hands down. Its the only show that I have seen which depicts full frontal male and female nudity.

I do like Vampire stories. Taken a shine for Vampire Diaries :P , found Twilight very boring.

Oz, is that the controversial Australian show ? What is it about and how good is it ??
 
If you liked Vampire Diaries then you are going to love True blood considering how pathetic Vampire Diaries really is. :P

Oz is one of the best TV shows I have ever seen. It is based on the daily activities of a Prison facility. The cast is great, acting is superb and the plots very interesting. If you liked Prison Break Season 1, then you are going to love Oz.

"Oz" (1997)
 
Just watched (rather late) a surprise version of Dr Who, the show simply rocks, and David Tennant's acting is simply awesome. Too bad there are very few episodes in a year :)

Ok then will try to go after Oz first before trueblood :)

Yeah, Prison Break season 1 was bloody awesome !

Vampire Diaries is ok stuff, however as u said there are not many vampire related series ! :P
 
True Blood and Being Human are so good because the focus is not on solely on the unrequited love theme of Dracula. In fact Being Human has hardly any of that, in terms of that.
 
yeah.. i agree... so a lot of serials cant be watched in the living room.. and we have to see them in our room with a headset on... feels like watching you know what... ;)

but the quality of these serials over anything on tv in india is way off, which makes them a fun to watch.. heck i dont remember when was the last time i saw anything on tv apart from cricket match....

Yeah, most of the Fox series is fine.

For u it is cricket for me it if football :)
 
season 1 of the wire was great. season 2 onwards it started going downhill. by the time the story of stringer bell and avon barksdale ends, the whole story has gone to shit. that scene these 2 had on the balcony of the apartment... man that was the best moment of the series for me.
 
^^ I wouldn't call it going downhill; rather it peaked in S2 :D

S4 is also up there imo but it did really have its run. There were bits in S5 that were pretty boring, but I loved the way they ended it.
