True Blood has been aired in the UK recently on Channel 4 and so far it has already won a humble British crowd. The show has been a major hit in the US, so it's not going to be a surprise if it will earn accolades in the UK as well. Michael Hogan gave an overwhelming review of the first episode describing it as fangy, funny, stylishly shot, and smartly written by Alan Ball. According to Hogan, Alan Ball took advantage of HBO's license to shock by giving True Blood sweaty sensuality with several explicit sex scenes, creative swearing, and bursts of visceral violence. Hogan also mentioned in his review the the slang terms such as "fang bangers"(vampire groupies),"V-juice" (vampire blood), and "drainers" (dealers) to apprise the newly-baptized True Blood fanatics in the UK. Well, the bottom line is that True Blood is on the right pathway as it smittens the Brits just like what it did in the US. Source: telegraph.co.uk (Photo credit: HBO Inc.)
