When the True Blood series first premiered on HBO in 2008, there were already a number of people that were familiar with the storyline because of the hugely popular book series, The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. People loved envisioning what the world would be like if "vampires came out of the coffin," and HBO seemed like the perfect fit for bringing this dynamic story to the small screen.
While there have been other shows that have depicted vampires in the modern world, there was something truly special about True Blood. The storyline included everything from werepanthers and werewolves to shapeshifters and fairies but that didn't mean that the human characters weren't just as dynamic. Audiences were completely captivated by all of the characters and the ever-changing storyline, but the show definitely wasn't for young viewers that were into fantasy plots. There was a huge amount of nudity and provocative storylines and people simply couldn't get enough of seeing these characters on the small screen. The show catapulted some of its actors into full-blown Hollywood celebrities and it also helped to add some dimension to some of the other well-known actors. The lead actress, Anna Paquin, had been previously seen as a young actress that had a start in Hollywood as a child and the only other real film role that people recognized her from was due to the X-Men franchise. Yet, seeing her as the sultry Sookie Stackhouse completely changed her persona and really gave fans an eyeful. Whether she was your favorite character or you preferred another, test your knowledge on key aspects of the True Blood series and see if you can call yourself a true fan.
