If you're a fan of vampires but not interested in teenage drama, this is the show for you.
The acting is impeccable. Rutina Wesley is absolutely captivating as Tara Thornton. The story unfolds in a logical manner and is very well paced. There are no true "big bads" to speak of. The show does a great job at making complex characters. There are no protagonists that are truly good and no antagonists that are truly evil. Each character is driven by their own motives and backgrounds.
Be warned that there is gratuitous amounts of sex and the transitions can feel sudden and jarring. If you've watched Twilight, Sookie can feel a bit like Bella, in that everyone wants to be with her. At times, this feels like an eye roll.
This show does a great job at showcasing the navigation of vampire and human society at the forefront of integration. The pacing of the show is perfect - just enough intrigue to keep the viewer hooked without giving too much away or being boring.
