True Blood: Who's the Killer? | Today's News: Our Take | 10/31/2008
With only four episodes left of the first season of True Blood (Sundays, 9 pm/ET, HBO; a marathon of Episodes 1 through 8 will air Halloween night), we still aren't even close to solving the show's central mystery: Who's killing all of Bon Temps' ladies? True, Alan Ball's vampire drama (HBO has already green-lit a second season, by the way) is more elaborate romantic fantasy than hard-boiled detective show, but we thought there'd be more clues at this point. All three victims — Maude... read more 36 Comments
Ask Matt: Is Life on Mars Becoming Just Another Typical Police Drama? And More! | Matt Roush | 10/31/2008
TV Guide's Senior Critic Matt Roush takes your TV questions. Have a rant, rave or burning question about your favorite show you'd like addressed? E-mail him here!Question: I wanted to write about how much I am enjoying Life on Mars. The cast is excellent, and the soundtrack perfectly complements the action and the era. And to think I almost didn't give this show a chance. Why? Because deep down, it's a show about cops, and I have had to put up with so many procedurals for so long that I've had... read more 32 Comments

After he catches the sexual deviate buddying up to Cody, he has to ask himself: Does this lowlife fit the Code and is he a candidate for Dexter-ization?

True Blood's Stephen Moyer Is Undead Sexy! | Today's News: Our Take | 10/9/2008
Stephen Moyer curls back his upper lip, revealing one of his — surprise — natural fangs. The star of HBO's True Blood (Sundays at 9 pm/ET) explains that, in his other bloodsucker role, for the 1998 British television series Ultraviolet, "they just whitened these so the camera would pick them up." He runs his index finger down the unusually sharp canine and prods the pointed tip. Playing a vampire, it seems, comes naturally. These days, a lot of women wouldn't mind baring... read more 21 Comments

Everyone is upset by the ... | Matt Roush | 9/26/2008
Question: Everyone is upset by the story line of True Blood, thinking this show has stolen ideas from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books. But what they fail to realize is she did quite a bit of stealing in her own books. She stole liberally from The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Anne Rice and Joss Whedon's Buffy and Angel. I am surprised she hasn't been sued yet. Neither Stephenie Meyer nor her fans have any room to squawk! Answer: Not to mention, although I will, that anyone who thinks... read more

Roush Review | Matt Roush | 9/24/2008
As if Sundays weren’t busy enough, with ABC’s splendidly re-energized Desperate Housewives leading the network pack and AMC’s Mad Men firing on all cylinders through late October, HBO and Showtime are now locked in a fierce showdown for pay-cable dominance. The one thing their shows tend to have in common—including HBO’s sexy-funny vampire mystery drama True Blood, which I’ve already flipped over—is a risk factor. These are bold, edgy works I’d... read more
Every summer I write down all ... | Matt Roush | 9/19/2008
Question: Every summer I write down all of the upcoming new fall shows and rank in order which ones I most want to see. I base this on the critics as well as my own inner critic/fanboy. It's no surprise that this was a frustrating summer for me, with only the CBS shows generating any buzz due to those shows actually having been screened for the critics. So going into the fall season start-up, I was banking on Fringe (Fox), Worst Week (CBS), Life on Mars (ABC) and My Own Worst Enemy (NBC) as... read more

Question: Initially I had my doubts about Alan Ball's new series True Blood because Six Feet Under was so pretentious and dreary, but thanks to your great review, I watched the premiere and am completely hooked on this show. I tell myself that it is not healthy to wish my life away, but I am anxiously awaiting the next installment! The writing is sharp, balanced and funny, and the actors are spot-on in their delivery.
