Amazon.co.uk Review
A show that continues to get better and better, True Blood recovered quickly from a divisive first episode or two to evolve into one of the best television series currently running in the US. Season two? It’s gone and made it even better. The series as a whole is based on the Southern Vampire Mysteries novels by Charlaine Harris, but they’ve been weaved into television gold by Alan Ball. Ball, previously responsible for Six Feet Under, sets True Blood in a world where vampires are gradually becoming more and more accepted. Living side by side with humans, it’s inevitably not the easiest of worlds, but the scenario offers enough threads for some riveting viewing. Season two of True Blood in particular is superb. It blends together the blood, sex and mystery that made the show so popular in the first place, but also moves the collection of characters into even more dangerous and edgy situations. Plus, there’s the small matter of an underlying narrative that builds to a terrific finish. To say much more would be to spoil things, and True Blood is one show that absolutely shouldn’t be spoiled. Instead, it should be savoured, and with that in mind, this terrific second season boxset is a genuine must. --Jon Foster

 True Blood Season 2 September 3, 2010

Having watched the first season of True Blood I was very eager to see the second and I certainly wasn't disappointed with it. It was just as good as the first season, filling out the character's personalities more and adding some new ones. The story line was great and not short of comic moments too. Excellent all round.
 Great show but dissapointing blu ray transfer August 30, 2010

As someone who owns a big blu ray collection and knows a good blu ray transfer when I see it I was a litle dissapointed with the blu ray transfer, outside well lit scenes are fine with lots of depth and colour but most episodes have this nagging grain which I assume has been added during production. Close up shot of faces are clear but on closer inspection you see a slightly grainy soft focus effect. I dont recall seeing this when it was on the TV.
Another annoying point is the packaging, season 1 come in a DVD cardboard style box while this season comes in a regular blu ray box making it look odd on your DVD shelve. It's only a small thing but show's the neglect shown by the people who have released tru blood.
TRUE BLOOD SEASON 2 August 26, 2010

Fabulous serie taken to an extreme,new creatures and myths entwine in the lives of our Bon Temps favourites.
It takes aspects out of the later parts of the book series and combines them into a new exciting story.
If you liked season one be ready for a faster phased and more extreme season two where Eric becomes even more irrisistable.
Ssssookie - Season 2 August 24, 2010

TRUE BLOOD is my favourite show this summer. Having largely ignored most vampire-themed movies and/or series, I somehow thought that this would be another teenager-geared "beauty-in-never-attainable-love-with-brooding-vampire-beau-beast" series. So, I only discovered it about eight or ten weeks ago.
And now, I stand corrected. The title sequence alone is top-notch, I never, ever, fast-forward through it. And yes, people get naked and have wild, wild sexual adventures. Ha! There is love, and betrayal, and longing, and lust, and friendship - and great characters you root for after one episode.
And Season 1 was so much fun - Sookie, Bill, Sam, Eric, Jason, Tara have become my summer companions. I just love that these are all (warning: bad pun ahead) full-blooded characters in their own right.
TRUE BLOOD is brain candy: sweet, fun, a bit sticky, and definitely addictive.
Season 2 picks up right where we left after the Season 1 finale - and luckily, it just gets better. There are great supporting characters and additional storylines that add to the experience. My favourite is the blossoming love story between Hoyt and Jessica, but also the things happening with and to Lafayette as well as the whole Fellowship of the Sun confrontation make you want to 'just have a quick look at the next episode.' Oh, and did I really forget to mention Godric?
Watch it, enjoy it - vampire stories don't get much better than that.
TV brilliance - sexy, scary and satirical August 15, 2010

Continuing directly on from series one the numerous plot strands keep the story moving in all kinds of unexpected directions: Lafayette is paying for his previous misdemeanours, Jason has joined the born-again Christians, Jessica is out of control, Tara has moved in with the mysterious and increasingly sinister MaryAnne, Sookie goes to Dallas to stay in a vampire hotel with Bill - and Eric's character opens up.
I enjoyed this more than series one (which was still compulsive watching) as now that the characters have been established, the story can really get going. There are some real cliff-hanger episode endings and, of course, an intriguing end to the series.
I don't want to say anything about the plot which would spoilt things for new viewers but suffice to say this is even more compelling than the first series, while the writing and acting are as sharp and brilliant as before, managing to be funny, scary, sexy, satirical and moving by turn. Far more than just Twilight for grown-ups, this is brilliant TV.
