Product Description
True Blood: The Complete Sixth Season (DVD/S)
Synopsis
With the Authority in flames, TruBlood in short supply, and humans in open conflict with vampires, a plethora of new threats and jarring storylines arise for human/faerie hybrid Sookie Stackhouse and her allies in the sixth season of this provocative, enthralling and wildly entertaining HBO series. As "Billith" comes to terms with his newfound powers after emerging from a pool of blood at the end of Season 5, Louisiana Governor Truman Burrell (Arliss Howard) declares open season on vampires, replete with anti-vamp weapons and a high-tech internment camp. Meanwhile, Sookie and Jason steel themselves for an encounter with the killer of their parents; the mysterious and ancient Warlow.

After drinking the blood of Lilith Bill has become powerful and unstoppable than any vampire. Sookie and Jason are on the hunt for Warlow, a mysterious vampire who killed their parents and has been contractually promised to Sookie, helping them is Niall their Fairy-Great-Grandfather, played excellently by Blade Runner's Rutger Hauer. Eric, Pam, Jessica, Tara and all other vampires are in danger, with the Authority destroyed the Louisiana Governor has taken to control with new weapons and vows take down the vampires once and for all.
This is one of the better seasons, while many will disagree but to each their own since everyone ranks the seasons differently. Despite being two episodes shorter, the stakes (no pun intended) are higher as the characters are in danger, especially the vampires this time and characters actually die, won't spoil who but these deaths leave huge impacts on the characters. Also by upping the ante and character's dying, the season succeeds in stripping back the multiple storylines that the finale promises that Season 7 will feel like Season 1 again.
The throwaway subplots are still there but they are sidelined and even merged together so that the three main stories stay in focus. The humans vs. vampires story is great, it feels more like the social commentary from earlier seasons even see the return of the vampire hating Sarah Newlin (Anna Camp) from Season 2. Bill's story was interesting and doesn't just resort him to an evil monster but gives him a real character arc with consequences not just for him but those he cares about. Sookie's story has many twists and turns, we get the revelation of who Warlow is and he is not just the killing monster we're lead to believe but a complex character with revelations that hits a raw nerve with Sookie.

been a fan of True Blood since the first showing of season 1. Bought all the blue ray discs so far which has some fantastic extra content on. Season 6 is a breath of fresh air after the disappointing 5th season, as gory and sexy as the early seasons. Dont want to spoil the plot line but there are many twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat and leaving you wanting more at the end of each episode. Buy it!

I think True Blood has strayed too far from the books now to be honest. I still enjoy watching it but I think the storylines in the books were better than the ones on the show even though they wore a bit thin too. I'll watch True Blood through to the end but it's not as good as it once was and I'm glad they are going to finish it off next season. If you're a fan this is worth a watch but don't expect too much. It's just more of the same but lacks some or the original excitement.

I really loved this season! I guess the camp moments were very tense and the decision to cut some parallel storylines was the right one. It feels like True Blood is going back to basis for its final season. I will miss it a lot after season 7, and I really hope Eric Northman is alive!

Sixth season already, wow. How the time flies.
I am hooked on True Blood since the very first season and this season is definitely better than the last one. Read more

Going downhill...
Definitely not up to the standard of previous series - episode 9 reminded me of 'Coronation Street' and 'Neighbours' at their worst!
