Show Summary:

Ep. 01: Strange Love
Across the country, vampires have come “out of the coffin” after the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood. In Louisiana, Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with telepathic abilities, falls under the spell of a sexy, 173-year-old vampire named Bill Compton–whose thoughts she can’t read. After saving Bill from the Rattrays, a pair of ruthless “vampire drainers,” Sookie tests the limits of Bill’s gratitude when the two are left alone in the dark. Meanwhile, Sookie’s best friend Tara quits one job to work for Sam Merlotte at his bar and grill, and Sookie’s roguish brother Jason finds himself in hot water when a “fangbanger,” whom he’s been intimate with meets a tragic end.

Bill is welcomed to speak about his previous life as a Confederate soldier while at the Descendants of the Glorious Dead meeting.

Sookie deals with losing someone who she was close to, and Tara is noticed by Jason while high on vampire blood.

Numbed by tragedy, Sookie looks for refuge from the cacophony of her friends’ and neighbors’ inner voices. After lashing out at his sister and decking Andy, Jason wrestles with withdrawal symptoms from his V juice habit.
