Not that the Home Box Office you will require a lot of success, remains the main chain of reference when talking about quality television. But it is true that since the end of The Sopranos and Sex in New York , has not had many shows on the grid to benefit from the ubiquity of these two media. That gap currently fills True Blood, a ratings success and a phenomenon on the Internet. The third season premiere this Sunday at 5.1 met million Americans-a figure that continues to impact whether we think of the series struggling to stay in networks with audiences of 2-3 million, "up to 38% with respect to the premiere of the second a year ago. As we saw in this entry, the viral campaign for this season has been a success in itself, its value as a secondary text can be analyzed as part of the series rather than a mere exercise in publicity, "and also has been reflected in hearing the excellent episode.
What were those 5.1 million Americans and as many millions of Internet users who downloaded the episode after issuance? Basically, True Blood in its essence: sex, great performances over the top -yes, I love me-Paquin, violence, special effects deliciously camp, and that we love so much, a huge self-consciousness - and well exploited. And this was not enough, this season starts confirming what we had long suspected: True Blood is the gayest series on TV today. In many cases gives the impression that the target audience for the series is gay, while recognizing that knows how to satisfy all genders and sexualities in greater or lesser extent. The truth is that the series is made for the enjoyment of a spectator is free prejudice and willing to have fun, without any further requirements in principle, but the shirtless scenes of four male sex objects in the series and especially the much talked dream of Sam, seem to have a very definite target in mind, we can not forget that the series has played on many occasions as a metaphor for the acceptance of difference in society. The statements of the actors Alexander Skarsgard and Stephen Moyer on the desire that his characters had that "experience" with the same sex and the signing of Kevin Alejandro boyfriend to make Lafayette only confirm this theory. But hey, I am not anyone discovered America, right?
All this is not simply the result of a great interaction from the makers of the series and its fandom - and a clear interest in Alan Ball in the subject. They we have heard / read and know what we like. Why not make us happy? -One of the first promotional images Alcide the werewolf played by Joe Manganiello, leaves no doubt. And so, if you are listening to me, gentlemen of HBO and Mr. Ball, we wish to see Maryann. Although Pam divismo has increased considerably, and glimpse a worthy replacement for the crazy maenad. Pam has always liked, and the role that looks set to buy this season is more than welcome , Also enters the game factor-Sappho, somewhat less explored so far. And if anyone doubts it is aware of everything that Alan Ball and his team, here's irrefutable proof:
"Bad Blood" is a stunning first episode of a season that followed in this line, we will spend a summer fun-it's almost a sure bet. True Blood again leaving out some bombast and affectation in his dialogues, and ceding the spotlight almost complete humor-Sookie: "I'm not in the mood for lesbian weirdness tonight, Pam" - and at a faster rate than normal. Only the drama of Tara brings a more serious note episode that confirms the essentially comic parody of the series. Jason and highlight problems of conscience - "conscience off, dick on" is a one-liner of those who remain, not to mention the "pussy overflow" - and the ever lovely Jessica and Hoyt - "I got a new haircut! Actually I think it makes me look kinda badass! " And if we highlight a one-liner , in line with the ideas of the second paragraph of this post, it would be this: "I hear the water in Arkansas is ... very hard! "It will be difficult to forget the camp homoeroticism and achieved tension of the scene between Bill and Sam. Forget it will be especially difficult if, like me, you think to see again and again, at least until another scene of this kind of eclipse.
Conclusion: True Blood is not only HBO's wet dream, but also that of many seriéfilos wanting to binge, and too much time on their hands summer keyword: "hands".
