True Blood
Set in a rural, swampy Louisiana parrish, True Blood centers around Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and her clan, sweet grandmother Adele (Lois Smith) and air-headed brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten). Illicit love is spawned early on, when Sookie saves vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) from having his blood stolen in the parking lot of Merlotte’s diner, owned by Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) who completes what will form a complex love triangle. As tensions between Sookie’s suitors loosen or tighten, many side plots, such as her African American best friend Tara’s (Rutina Wesley) struggle with an alcoholic, Bible-thumping mother and her brother’s dangerous crush on drug addicted hippie, Amy Burley (Lizzy Caplan), keep one wondering who will succeed in this podunk place. The main tension throughout, however, is a race war waged between vampires and humans. As murders of “fang bangers” occur (human girls who let vampires bite them) and dumb policeman Andy Bellefleur (Chris Bauer) fails to find clues, one sees the metaphorical implications of vampirism and feels deeper resonance with what can be a downright trashy show. Gossip galore, especially about what kinds of babies interbreeding will produce, is rampant. One of the funniest characters is Tara’s flamboyant cousin, Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis), who deals drugs, works as a fry cook, and services the local white politicians, while making sure he’s always up in everyone’s business.

How I lost a Disc story #01192010
So my wife and I have been watching this series for several months now. We bought the entire collection on DVD last Christmas. So we get to the beginning of season 5, the final season. We watch the first episode, which ends on a pretty good cliffhanger, but exerting great discipline we decide to wait on the follow up and watch our latest Netflix movie instead. We do, and I pack up the Netflix disc and send it on back. Later, I go to put our TV show back in the DVD player and realize that the Netflix movie is still there. But didn't I send that back? Oh yeah, that was our TV show disc. Turns out that Netflix does not keep track of what disc you send back and had no way of knowing we sent in the wrong one, so they just gave us a credit for our loss. Long story shorter than it could be, we found that pesky lost disc here and are very satisfied.
