True Blood and Entourage
Last night we got the season finales from both shows.
First up was the modern vampire tale set in rural Louisiana, True Blood. I’ll admit that I enjoyed this show more and more as the season progressed. The performances seems less hokey and the story-line became stronger. The killer was found, vampire love reigned supreme, and we found that vampires aren’t the only strange creatures out there in the world. Way back in September I wondered “If a modern day vampire story could be successful.” Obviously it can. The show was very successful from HBO’s point of view and a second season is already planned for next summer, with lasts night episode leaving more than one question unanswered.
For me, Entourage had a rough season. In many ways it felt like it lost it’s focus and was a little scatter brained. That being said I think that it came full circle last night. This show is better when things are good for the gang. A sad pathetic Vince that squandered all his money and is living with his brother just doesn’t make for as good as a show. I realize that the creative force behind Entourage might want to show the guys in a different light, but it’s just not as much fun. I’ve said it before, the great part of this show is feeling like you are seeing the inside of Hollywood that only the rich and famous get to see, and honestly what we saw this season wasn’t as interesting as it has been in the past. I’m glad the season ended on a high note, and I look forward to Vince being back on top when the new season airs next summer.
