It’s that time of year Trubies. With the end of the year approaching, the lists of 2011 are starting to come out. This first one comes from David Bianculli of National Public Radio’s (NPR) Fresh Air. He recently compiled his list of best and worst shows of 2011. True Blood made the list at number 10 and here’s what he had to say:
10. True Blood (HBO) The HBO vampire series created by Alan Ball is a soap opera, pure and simple, said Bianculli in a review that aired originally on June 9, 2010. “Or more accurately, it’s a soap opera, impure and complicated.” The show’s constant plot twists — and the regular introduction of new characters — keep Bianculli hooked. And “for a safe, long-term investment in pop culture’s fascination with the paranormal, I say take your money and let it ride on vampires,” he said last May. “They’re undead in more ways than one — every generation, they always seem to earn a brand new life.
True Blood was in good company on the list with HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, Showtime’s Homeland, AMC’s Breaking Bad, And CBS’ the Good Wife also making the cut.
