True Blood, based on the Southern Vampire Mystery/Sookie Stackhouse novels, fulfills my love for campy vampire joy. As many people have noted, True Blood is an anti-Twilight. Sex abounds, but it's great because of the characters.

With actors like Anna Paquin and Nelsan Ellis, the series is just so fun to watch. The series looks to be following the trajectory of one book per season. The 10th novel was just released. I'm not sure if the tv series will get as high as that, but I enjoyed how the characters have grown and changed with each book.

The show balances horror, humor, and camp in one of the most entertaining series around. Twitter lights up with #trublood posts as soon as an episode stars airing. I really can't help but enjoy the fun.

The third series will introduce new characters, expanding the shifters (werewolves, etc.). And of course, the delicious Alexander Skarsgård exudes hot vampire sexiness as Eric. He's my favorite part of the series.
