How bad has this show gotten?

Don't know if this or Larry David is worse now.

It has gotten progressively worse each season. This year has been pretty awful but I still
watch since I pay for the channel. Larry David has his moments but definitely lost his fast
ball a few seasons back.

There is just too much going on at all times.

Vampire/humanity storyline

Vampire/Sookie storyling

Jason/hot red head vampire story line

Bill/Eric

Werepanthers

Werewolves

Faires

Witches

.................................and Tara, I wish she would get eaten.

And sometimes they cross with eachother.

I still like the show, I've watched it since the beginning so I still watch and I still like it. But for fucks sakes it is bursting at the seams with all manner of shit. Even for an hour show with no commercials there is too much to keep track of....

I gave up the season the werewolves showed up.

You could add Entourage to the poll as welll to determine which HBO show has become the most unwatchable over the years.

Don't forget the shifters... There really are too many things going on. I think if they had just eliminated some stuff, it could be a decent season. Just the witch/vampire war and the shifters to keep Sam's place involved would be enough.

The female shifter Luna is fuckin HOT!

I do agree that there is too damn much goin on. That whole issue with Lafayette getting possesed was completely unnecessary imo

Hope Tommy and Tara die already

Enough with the damn baby already

If the vamps cant kill the witches then resurrect some damn puritans to get the job done!

Can we see Jessica naked already?! WTF?1

Jessica obviously has a no nudity clause in her contract. If they didn't show anything during the truck scene last night, they aren't going to.

That's what I was holding out for.

The show is basically for chicks now.

All the male nudity has the women going nuts.

The little edgyness the show sort of had in season 1 is gone.

From season 3 on, it's been a soap opera with many different storylines which maybe one of six really aren't significant.

I still watch it though.

Just watched the season finale and although I think this season wasn't very good, the last 10 minutes tonight were pretty interesting. Sadly, Jessica still has the no nudity clause. :(

I thought the finale was the best episode of the season, or at least one of the best. Blood, sex, shotguns and crazy shit. That's what made the show fun and interesting, not Sookie being conflicted and crying and that's it. I really don't like the Sookie character, too annoying and not at all sympathetic. I kept wishing she got shot and not Tara although Tara is annoying too.

Russel Edgington is out on the loose, that crazy anti-vampire preacher is back....as a vampire, Tara has a hole in her head, Darlene's ex-murderer husband is back to tell her about Terry being a bad dude.

I'm interested for next season.

Pretty good finale I thought. Will keep me tuning in next season. They killed off a couple of
main characters which was nice.

I hope Tara stays dead. She's the worst of the many bad characters on the show now.

The new season has been OK. Not great by any means though, until last night.

Full bushed vampire goddess. Thank you HBO.

Yeah this season has been decent. I'm glad to hear I have something to look forward to this evening.
I have last nights episode on DVR but haven't seen it yet. Vampire bush! :mrgreen:

This season has been better, but it feels like the "main" dozen or so characters are paired up into six completely separate shows.
