For more than 20 years, HBO has housed the biggest cable emissions, but between the two Sopranos And Game of ThronesThe network was transported by a very different type of drama which for a few years was the hottest series on the planet. Real bloodA supernatural romance in the south of the Gothic horror, was different from television during his first in 2008 and there is still nothing like it. This makes it interesting that, from the height of its popularity with sessions of photo sessions soaked in blood in Rolling Stone, countless goods and transforming Alexander Skarsgard and Joe Manganiello into a star, the series is now, a decade later, a premium time capsule that could just as well do not exist.
The real blood begins normally and becomes very strange
Real blood slowly encouraged viewers in the world of good time, in Louisiana, a small town in Bayou where there is a bar, everyone knows everyone, and nothing exciting is ever happening. Until the vampires become public, thanks to the synthetic blood which replaces the need to consume humans, then the city is suddenly a supernatural home when Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) is a veteran of the civil war, dates back to the city. Blowing Sookie (Anna Paquin), the wheels are set in motion for what begins as a simple mystery of murder which ends up facing the conspiracies of the government, the yakuza, the corrupt churches, a vampire old enough to have met Jesus, werewolves, witches and a djinn.
As the story reaches the point where vampires use an RPG launcher to eliminate a building, Real blood could not hurt. The absurd Craca soap opera, which revolved around different romantic pairs of the whole casting every season, collapse under the smallest meticulous examination, but that does not matter because the spectacle is fun from start to finish. While Dusk Had fascinated teenagers and declaring themselves the Jacob team or the Edward team, HBO presented the adult version, with the fans defending Bill the Southern Vampire, Eric the Viking Vampire, Sam the Barter, or Alcide The Wearwolf as a true love of Sookie.
Logènement based on a series of books
Based on the Charlaine Harris series, The Southern Vampire Mysteries, Real blood followed the plots of the first three novels at the beginning of his first seasons before finding his own path, changing spectacularly that the characters lived or died, who came out Sookie, and even leaving one of his book contenders, John Quinn, the huge Hulking Weretiger. During the seven seasons, the series had on average more than 4 million viewers, which may not be compared to much NisBut for a series of premium cables, it was massive. His success helped convince HBO to adapt another series of books that had a lot of violence and blood, even if he is still incomplete to date, a song of fire and ice, which has become Game of Thrones.
So then why Real blood not as popular today as Vampire newspapersA series he beat in the notes despite a premium cable? The problem might be that it was always intended for an adult audience and does not have the same attraction for adolescents and pre -adolescents as the other vampire shows, which helps perpetuate the base of fans from one generation to another, and like both Sopranos And Game of ThronesThe end has left sour taste in the mouth of many fans. This word of mouth filters through social media, and with the massive wave of supernatural fiction of a romantic vampire that ends, it is a trapped spectacle at a very specific time.
