Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under , has a sexy, scary new drama that delves into the meticulously-crafted world of novelist Charlaine Harris. Since a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while More humans have been safely removed from the menu, many people remain apprehensive about vampires living amongst them in Louisiana. A local barmaid, Sookie Stackhouse ( Anna Paquin ) understands what it's like to be an outcast. Cursed with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires. She is especially intrigued by Bill( Stephen Moyer ), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test. Season two delves into the mythology of demons. We have vampires being persecuted by the followers of the sun. Sookie's relationship with Bill is tested as she begins to get a taste of Eric ( Alexander Skarsgard ). Godric is introduced as Eric's maker. Eric is thrown into the deep end trying to save Godric. Jason begins to find himself.
