True Blood review – 6×05: ‘Fuck The Pain Away’

July 15, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

True Blood hits the halfway point of the season with a humdinger of an episode that seemingly hits fast forward on the majority of the storylines.

Let’s bitch it out… [Read more…]

True Blood review – 6×04: ‘At Last’

July 8, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

So does this week’s title, ‘At Last’ refer to True Blood‘s recognition from gay fans that Jason (Ryan Kwanten) needs to spend a little nekkid time with some of the other muscle hunks on the show?

No? Just us? Bueller?

Alright then – let’s bitch it out! [Read more…]

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 – 6×02: ‘The Sun’

June 24, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

The sixth season of True Blood is just getting started and it’s unclear which – if any – of this season’s disparate storylines will pay off. ‘The Sun’ suggests that there’s a bit of a game-plan and OH MY GAWD BILLITH (Stephen Moyer) JUST LOOPER‘D THE BLOOD OUT OF THAT HOOKER!

True Blood review – 6×01: ‘Who Are You, Really?’

June 17, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

True Blood returns for a sixth season of twisted sex, bloody gore and political shenanigans. So how will this show go on without the calming <snicker> hand of creator Alan Ball (who stepped down to focus on his new series, Banshee)?

Judging from the first episode, it’s business as usual.

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

August 27, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

Courtesy of HBO

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?
