Each week I review a show that’s new to me. Good idea, or punishment (mine or yours)? You be the judge. But either way, if I had to watch it, the least you can do is read what I have to say….
Times have been pretty good for True Blood over the last couple months. It seems that almost every episode brings with it a new ratings record.
