True Blood review – 6×09: ‘Life Matters’

August 12, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

True Blood uses its penultimate episode of the season to definitively wrap up two storylines: Terry’s (Todd Lowe) life and the end of Vamp Camp. Plus: another death for good measure.

True Blood review – 6×08: ‘Dead Meat’

August 5, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

There’s a lot of talk about God in ‘Dead Meat’, but of all the religious references/expletives, only one involved murder with a high-heel shoe. Oh Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp), how you make my week.

True Blood review – 6×03: ‘You’re No Good’

July 1, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

True Blood‘s third episode is the best of the latest season as nearly every scene works: packing in the funny, the engaging and the WTF. As an added bonus(!) nearly all of our storylines also move forward. Now if only we didn’t have those damn wolves…

True Blood review – 5×12: ‘Save Yourself’

August 27, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Well, we were promised a bloodbath! And since this is True Blood – the show that has yet to kill off a main character – we probably should have known that our favourites were safe. So what did ‘Save Yourself’ do right…and what didn’t work quite as well?

True Blood review – 5×10: ‘Gone, Gone, Gone’

August 13, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

We’re hurtling towards the climax of S5 of True Blood and the show is desperately trying to pull its disparate storylines together. With only three episodes left, how’s that working out?
