Small-town Louisiana waitress Sookie Stackhouse already is viewed as an oddball by her friends and neighbors, since she can read the minds of those around her. She doesn't exactly help her reputation, though, when she falls for Bill Compton, a 173-year-old vampire who has "come out of the coffin" along with many of his undead comrades now that a new synthetic blood has made it possible for vampires to survive without preying on humans. Still, the conservative locals aren't wild about mortal-vampire liaisons, especially Sookie's boss, Sam Merlotte, who carries a torch for her. "Six Feet Under" creator Alan Ball is behind this series adaptation of best-selling novels by Charlaine Harris.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A major letdown coming off the end of season five, True Blood seems to be running out of steam and isn't aging as elegantly as its eternal vampires.

Allison Keene Collider Given the last several seasons of the show, though, the turnaround was really immense, and has set up a decent final season. Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Phil Harrison Time Out Truly an object lesson in the consequences of removing all sense of jeopardy from a story in the interests of cynically stringing it out: events in 'True Blood' have become all but meaningless. Sep 24, 2018 Full Review Mike Hale New York Times There's nothing wrong with a little social relevance, but that's never been what made True Blood worthwhile - if the show isn't fast, funny, scary and sexy, it's nothing. Jun 23, 2018 Full Review Bill Chambers Film Freak Central The show's sixth year represents a marginal rebound--though at this point in my "True Blood" journey, I'm just a masochist ranking the instruments of torture. Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Leigh Clark CineVue True Blood: Season 6 is a nonsensical and deliciously high camp return to form for the show. Rated: 4/5 Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Guillermo Altares El Pais (Spain) True Blood returns true to form. [Full Review in Spanish] Sep 24, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Brady B I love the entire True Blood series. It was some of the best TV I've seen to date! I would watch it again and recommend to any lover of the genre. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Raakhee N Ghosh! I haven't watched anything as bad as this series and I love vampire stories. I mean if I hate Elena Gilbert from The Vampire Diaries, Sookie Stackhouse takes the winning podium! Such a selfish, sick character. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review diane h I wanted to fast forward through the boring parts in season six, episode 9, but there were too many. The flashbacks during the funeral were totally unnecessary, as was the funeral itself. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sex scenes and Bill Compton . The nightmare continues , literally . Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I mean... It was honestly hard to feel bad for the vampires because this whole season was pointless. Everyone was living in peace, and then the vampires drank lilith's blood and went bat shit crazy and then when the humans fought back, suddenly they are racist and prejudiced and it's all poor vampires when THEY started the whole mess? Like do you understand what I am saying? what was the point of Lilith being a prophet when it was her blood that made them act crazy? and then she was saying it would be Warlow who would be the one to fix her fuck up. Like it was so pointless. What was the point of Lilith. You'd think with her being a godless god she would have realized when the vampire race would be threatened and made sure her blood was destroyed. not flipping egg people to drink it. What a disappointment. And Warlow... My sweet Warlow...I would have loved to be his Faerie Vampire Blood... Too Bad... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member True Bloody awful... The series, which continues to deliver on interesting ideas and concepts consistently fails to live up to its hype and season six is no different. The series relies heavily on nudity and poor special effects to keep its audience interested whilst altering minor details to rehash the same stories season in, season out. Other than lead vampire Bill Compton, the characters lack development and seem tired of the same old stories coming back again and again with different masks on. This is even referenced several times in dialogue as humans, vampires, witches, werewolves et al admit their fatigue at fighting the same battles with different supernatural beings. This show could have been brilliant given a grown-up writing team and time to breathe but the pace, the obsession with sex and story running on fumes proves this was a miss altogether.
