Product Description
"When we last checked in with Sookie Stackhouse, the mystery surrounding a Bon Temps serial killer had finally been solved, to the town's infinite rel
Amazon.com
True Blood's second season, with episodes involving a new cast of monsters invading Louisiana swamp town Bon Temps, is notably gorier and more camp than the first season. While thematically the central focus in these 12 exciting episodes still revolves around faith and loyalty, these questions are complicated by displays of pagan ritual and obsession. Though the vampire/human relationship dilemma continues, spearheaded by lovers Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and vampire Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), there is less emphasis on addiction to V, or vampire blood, and more time dedicated to outsiders whose supernatural talents make some episodes feel like superhero battles. Episode 1, "Nothing but the Blood," sets the gory example with a brutal opening scene in which the local shaman has been eviscerated. While gruesome murders continue throughout the season, we become familiar with a new femme fatale, Maryann Forrester (Michelle Forbes), who hosts bacchanalia, such as the one in episode 4 ("Shake and Fingerpop") that gives Bon Temps a collective hangover. Also developing in this season are relationships between Sookie and Bill's vampire colleagues Eric (Alexander Skarsgård), Eric's master Godric, and a vampire queen who plays Yahtzee throughout episode 11 ("Frenzy"). The ever-increasing vampire interest in Sookie leads to her questioning her own supernatural psychic identity, especially in the final episode ("Beyond Here Lies Nothin'"), a semi-ridiculous, over-the-top segment that is more humorous than scary. Also corny but funny are the episodes featuring Fellowship of the Sun zealots Steve and Sarah Newlin (Michael McMillian and Anna Camp), and Jason Stackhouse's evangelical dedication to them (with Ryan Kwanten as Stackhouse). Perhaps the best episodes are those dedicated to the endangered plights of Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell), Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis), and Tara (Rutina Wesley). New characters, like Tara's lover, Eggs (Mehcad Brooks), and the young, tempestuous vampire Jessica Hamby (Deborah Ann Woll), also add greatly to an already fabulous cast. Though the extras in this DVD set, "The Vampire Report (Special Edition)" and "Fellowship of the Sun: Reflections of Light," offer lighthearted, pseudo-documentary fun, they feel quaint next to the many wonderful episodes of this horror serial. --Trinie Dalton Stills from True Blood: The Complete Second Season (click for larger image)

 TrueBlood 2nd season -- True-ly Enjoyable September 7, 2010
Mariejose N. Black (Alamogordo New Mexico USA)
I read the books that this show is based on, I don't have cable so I had to purchase the DVDs, well worth it since I HATE to wait around for a week to see what happens next. The series is funny and well written. The actors are terrific! Can't wait to purchase season 3!
LOVE IT September 3, 2010

 Good service September 2, 2010

Not sure I'd purchase from this seller again. There is no contact number and when I emailed the seller to inquire as to when it would be shipped, I never received a response. The quality of the package and dvds are excellent.

This is a show that once you watch the first season you get hooked! Second season does not disappoint! Just as good, if not better, then the first!
 Terrible, do not use this person! August 30, 2010

I ordered this product and waited and waited for the DVDs to come, for about a month. The day after the last estimated date of arrival I finally received a refund because the product was apparently "out of stock." I'm sure it didn't take a whole month to figure out that the product was out of stock, especially when I had gotten a confirmation of shipment, without a tracking number. The seller also did not respond when I asked where my DVDs were. I would not recommnend anyone to purchase from this seller.
