Product Description

Episode 1, "Nothing but the Blood," sets the gory example with a brutal opening scene in which the local shaman has been eviscerated. While gruesome murders continue throughout the season, we become familiar with a new femme fatale, Maryann Forrester (Michelle Forbes), who hosts bacchanalia, such as the one in episode 4 ("Shake and Fingerpop") that gives Bon Temps a collective hangover. Also developing in this season are relationships between Sookie and Bill's vampire colleagues Eric (Alexander Skarsgård), Eric's master Godric, and a vampire queen who plays Yahtzee throughout episode 11 ("Frenzy"). The ever-increasing vampire interest in Sookie leads to her questioning her own supernatural psychic identity, especially in the final episode ("Beyond Here Lies Nothin'"), a semi-ridiculous, over-the-top segment that is more humorous than scary. Also corny but funny are the episodes featuring Fellowship of the Sun zealots Steve and Sarah Newlin (Michael McMillian and Anna Camp), and Jason Stackhouse's evangelical dedication to them (with Ryan Kwanten as Stackhouse). Perhaps the best episodes are those dedicated to the endangered plights of Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis), and Tara (Rutina Wesley). New characters, like Tara's lover, Eggs (Mehcad Brooks), and the young, tempestuous vampire Jessica Hamby (Deborah Ann Woll), also add greatly to an already fabulous cast. Though the extras in this DVD set, "The Vampire Report (Special Edition)" and "Fellowship of the Sun: Reflections of Light," offer lighthearted, pseudo-documentary fun, they feel quaint next to the many wonderful episodes of this horror serial. --Trinie Dalton

If you liked Season One, you'll LOVE Season Two!,
By Ophelia Payne (Vancouver, BC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: True Blood: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
Another awesome - but faster and crazier - roller coaster ride of pure escapism for TB fans: intrigue, gore, sex, and loads of dark humor. These characters are so well written, you can't help but be interested in every one of them - no matter how minor. Loved the way each episode ending left us hungry for more. Cannot wait for Season Three!

4.0 out of 5 stars
huge improvement over season 1,
By
This review is from: True Blood: The Complete Second Season (DVD)
seeing as I wasn't the biggest fan of Season 1, its nice to see that Season 2 started and finished strong.
Picking up from Season 1's cliffhanger ending, season 2 jumps right into a new story which i won't spoil. Once again though, just as in season 1, something goes wrong mid season. Whereas in season 1 it was a "demon within" story between 2 side characters that was a pointless diversion, in season 2 the biggest problem is that it just takes so damn long to explain why the "evil" character is in fact...evil. The biggest improvement for a character as far as I was concerned was Sookie's brother. Given his own side story he was truly given his chance to shine and no longer had to resort to having sex on each episode to be relevant. Potential viewers should note that there is an increased amount of nudity in this season so if thats not your thing stay away.
