Anyone else watch this? I don't have HBO and I've gotten season one on DVD from Netflix and I was skeptical but I kinda like it. HBO puts out some good original programming.

I'm a fan...love the books too, and I enjoy the way the show differs from the books...gives it just enough freshness to keep me interested and allow for a surprise here or there.

I like Anna Paquin and am a vampire lover but I didn't get into the series. I saw a few episodes from the 1st season but didn't really fall in love with it.

Almost everyone I know likes the show though.

I thought it was interesting that in the promo I read it claimed vampires came out of the closet and financially supported repubs... I can't imagine a repub promoting vampire rights...liberal dems...yes...
