After Twilight I watched True Blood. Bloody fantastic! Loved it, got hooked.
I then read that the writer is an Alexander Woo a script writer from Hong Kong. I wonder if it's his experience from writing always-feel-good tame Asian scripts that has an influence over the way the story is set and that that is what makes the show so appealing. The story is very complex yet set very simply and there is nothing too scary or too gory, although there are shocks and lots of gore. Every time the story takes you to somewhere scary or gross it stops short of scaring me. I feel safe watching the show, which is why I enjoy it. I know I will not be taken anywhere uncomfortable and too scary or gross. so I can enjoy the story at peace. Every episode is complete, entertaining, feels good and most importantly logically sound. This is important to me, as I could never enjoy a movie with obvious holes in it. like Die Hard: how can you pop your head out of runway while a plane is taking off and it doesnt affect your ear drums. Every episode ends in a high suspense. There is nothing to do but to watch the next episode to find out what happens. Love it.
