For a couple of seasons, it was the best party on television.
But parties arent made to last.
Season 7
What a way to go.
The final season ofTrue Bloodfeels like the storytelling equivalent of frantically packing your bags during a house fire.
you’re free to practically feel the creative team lining up job interviews right there onscreen.
Rutina Wesley deserved better and so did fans of the show.

Season 4
This season has the ingredients to be much greater than it is.
Some cool concepts are introduced, but nearly all of them lead to payoffs that do not land.
Season 5
4.
Thats a lot of behind-the-scenes shuffling for a single season.
Instead, it is the last creative height of the shows run.
We get a pre-YellowstoneLuke Grimes, pre-Lovecraft CountryJurnee Smollett,as well as the legendaryRutger Hauer.
