Alan Ball Returns To HBO With "True Blood"

Alan Ball, who brought us American Beauty and Six Feet Under, returns to HBO with a show about vampires? Yep, this is going to be good.

Ball explains in part:

It's based on a series of books written by Charlaine Harris, and it takes place in a world where vampires have made their presence known to humans. They've come out of the coffin, so to speak, because of the development by a Japanese biotech firm of synthetic blood for medical purposes, which the vampires claim fulfills all of their nutritional needs. So they've organized, and they're struggling for assimilation and for equal rights.

    True Blood reminds me of Heroes at first glance (just rented the first episode from Blockbuster); this show makes me want to eat Cajun food and drink cheap beer
