Who's watching? Me, I'm a huge fan. Even writing a series of reviews of each episode in Season Two for the Vampire Film Festival:

If you're also a fan of top chef, why not mix them both.

I really enjoyed Moonlight and it seems that they dumped it a bit too quickly as there was (and is) a growing fan base for Mick the Vamp.

True Blood tho' is an off beat affair with everything from slapstick to horror to soft porn. The writing is excellent in parts but shocking in others with some of the stupidity of the characters actions reminiscent of Jack Baurs daughter in the first couple of 24s! The soundtrack is good even if you aren't right into country and it gets the full HBO treatment, which is by and large prety good (IMO).

I had to keep watching it tho'; there is something compelling about some of the story lines and you wonder where the macro plot will go beyond outlining a world that has a variety of "complicated" characters.
Some undead thread titles too....
