True Blood - Season 4
The series follows Sookie Stackhouse, a barmaid living in Louisiana who can read people's minds, and how her life is turned upside down two years after the invention of a synthetic blood called Tru Blood 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 power.

If there's another TV show that can approach its ability to meld melodramatic horror, fun and social metaphor, I haven't seen it.

Blood creator Alan Ball knows how to juggle multiple pretty people and knotty, danger-stuffed story lines for the maximum amount of breathless romance and over-the-top action.

True Blood returns with too many new characters, not enough time with the characters I like, a general evasion of the most prickly parts of last season's finale, and some plodding hints at a lumbering dramatic direction for this season.

As this story has lost credibility, the vampires as a plausible metaphor for "accepting difference" is falling apart.

It's getting a little long in the tooth now, but new blood is still capable of energizing True Blood.

I wouldn't miss it for all the hush puppies in Louisiana.

If you're addicted to True Blood's brand of smoldering melodrama, well, there's a lot of it this season. And it looks as though about half of it might actually be worth watching.

We should be encouraged-and thanks to Shaw's boffo performance, delighted-to see True Blood thinking, even for a moment, about controlling itself.

It's a little wearing sometimes, to be honest, though it has enough narrative strength to keep hard-core fans happy.

Luckily Blood is still buoyed by its weird, Gothic zest and the performers all operate with the same vibe of ripe sexuality and restrained camp.
