The season premiere of True Blood generated almost 242,00 comments on Facebook and Twitter last night, meaning that it is now the “most talked about premium cable season premiere ever” according to Mashable Entertainment.
Critics had predicted True Blood would dominate social media conversation this summer, and now statistics from Bluefin Labs show their forecasts were spot on.
