True Blood is a HBO show that got people talking, and had a long and successful run on the air. I recently decided to give it a re-watch with a HBO Max subscription, after being obsessed throughout its original run. While I've had fun watching the True Blood cast back in their signature roles for the start of Spooky Season, I can't believe how much foreshadowing about the series as a whole was crammed into the first few episodes. Talk about some well done storytelling!
While True Blood was eventually full of a ton of magical creatures, the first season told a smaller story. It was mostly about the town of Bon Temps, especially Anna Paquin's Sookie Stackhouse, adjusting to having vampires. But in just the first four episodes we got a number of teases about what's to come. And yes, my mind is blown.
