1. The story is engaging.
It is mature — as in you see lots of naked people. But this is the type of vampire stories I like. Sweet and cute are okay but I like a vampire story with just the right amount of suspense and horror. Of course, it has your typical vampire story characters — werewolves, religious fanatics, etc. etc. However, I like the quirks that each character has. My favorites will have to be Sookie, Jessica and Lafayette. Having read the book, I am very much aware of how big of an artistic license Alan Ball has taken with regards to creating the show. Still, I think the TV series he has created is authentic and fantastic. I sure appreciate the fact that he has made Lafayette a huge part of the story.
