Audience Reviews for True Blood: Season 5

• Mar 24, 2022

  Each season fails to come up to the first four seasons and this is true with this season, that's why I give it a *4* star rating!!!!

  A seven season supernatural ride in the American landscape, delivered by an awesome cast & crew!! Truly imaginative storyline that takes the Vampire franchise in a new direction- a must see for fans of the genre!!

  Vampire council was in trouble with some siding with the traditional belief of humans being inferior to vampires and vampires wanting to get along with humans. Power struggle ensures and it was up to Sookie and her friends to save the day. Season 5 kinda regressed into the cliche story of the vampire struggle, there were plenty of jokes but again, stupid subplots were involved to ruin the experience.

  Season 5 is a messy, overcrowded season that ends up with a bang after what was mostly a weak year.

  Great, even brilliant…for 5 seasons. Set in modern times, vampires roam the earth and are humans mortal enemies. However, a substitute has been found for human blood, a substitute that vampires can consume with the same effect as human blood. This is True Blood. Now humans and vampires can coexist in harmony, and even form relationships. But there will always be rogue elements on both sides ready to exploit the uneasy truce. Superb, for the first few seasons. Original, uncompromising and highly engaging. Great character depth, clever, intriguing plots, interesting relationships and good performances. For 5 seasons this was fantastic. However, the producers didn’t know when to quit. The writing were already starting to feel a bit jaded, with retreads of previous plots and characters and, especially, different life-forms being introduced just to give the illusion of originality. The final two seasons were mediocre, at best. The final season, Season 7, was particularly bad. No originality and the writers and actors seemed to be just going through the motions. Watching became a chore, something I had to do so I could finish the series rather than watching because I enjoyed it. Season 7 may well be the worst final season in the history of TV, especially when compared with what came before.

  Bill: "I'm god". This may be the weakness season of true blood because the characters this time are not interesting and you don't really care if there life of die. there where some episodes that I enjoyed and some I didn't, Bill and Eric are the only good thing in this season and that's all.

  for 2012: by far one of my favorite seasons Alan Ball and the writers have a talented gift for having this show be as modern and as relevant as possible this time the authority steps in and tries to cloud everyone's judgment and beliefs with the ultimate in vampire religion they even go far as to introduce the Vampire Bible and worship the goddess known as Lillith as the founder of all immortals Eric and Bill are forced into the institution to either follow the members' faith or be destroyed meanwhile Sookie is coming into her own with her newfound abilities as a Faire princess and discovering how endangered her own race is against the vampires and as always a brand new evil is about to show its ugly face and test Sookie to her limits we have old friends, new allies and old enemies returning to pile on the drama and increase the tension a supporting character goes through the ultimate transformation after a deadly fate bestowed upon her from the end of Season 4 just to make things more tricky the rest of humanity is also growing in their own fear and hostility learning about the existence of other supernatural beings and that spells certain doom for all werewolves, shapeshifters, werepanthers, fairies and so on this season is all about the test of faith, shutting out other beliefs, conflicting ideologies and sociological issues, and embracing identity what will become of the humans now? is there a true messiah for all kinds of people or another in many forms? who is man and who is God and who is monster? great stuff
