True Blood follows telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, two years after vampires have "come out of the coffin" to coexist with humans thanks to synthetic blood called Tru Blood. When Sookie meets the mysterious 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton, her world is turned upside down as she navigates supernatural romance and the dangerous politics of vampire society. The series explores themes of prejudice, acceptance, and identity through the lens of vampire-human relations. Starring Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, the show became HBO's most popular series since The Sopranos and Sex and the City.
