On August 24 the seventh and last season of the show “True Blood” ended.

The TV show “True Blood” is based on a series of novels written by Charlaine Harris. The story is based on the idea that vampires and other supernatural creatures exist but thanks to the creation of synthetic blood, the True Blood, vampires no longer need humans for food and came out in the open. The consequences are complex with humans who have fear of vampires and vampires who believe that coexistence with humans is impossible.

The seventh season of “True Blood” was intended to close some stories of the protagonists. My impression is that the soap opera side was prevailing and the writers basically wanted to satisfy at least some groups of fans with choices that left me puzzled.
