City of Angels

It’s like Alan Ball’s other projects. It’s about the characters.
There are a few things I didn’t like
*too much sex (Sex is good unless it gets distracting)
*vampire sex was silly
*the goddamn mind reading.

But the quirky dialog, and extremely entertaining characters completely made up for it.
The cast is also very strong, but I didn’t expect any less (Okay, I was afraid because I barely know ANY of them) but they didn’t only turn out to be eye-candy but also talented.

My first impressions of the main characters:
Anna Paquin … Sookie Stackhouse
Interesting main character. Anna did a good job. I wish she didn’t have to go blonde though. But at least she’s not annoying as Buffy summers.

Stephen Moyer … Bill Compton
To be honest, he’s my least favorite. Tall, dark and handsome. clichéd vampire with no sense of humor. Angel was better.

Ryan Kwanten … Jason Stackhouse
The pretty boy. He’s really the asshole-character but I like him. I see potential.

Sam Trammell … Sam Merlotte
Sookie’s human love interest? I don’t really care for him. I hope there won’t be a Sookie/Bill/Sam triangle X_X.

Brook Kerr … Tara Thornton
The STAR. She cracked me up every time she came on screen. I love angry black bitches.

There were a LOT more characters. My favorite one was the Gay Black Dude. What was his name?
He and Tara would make a great team.
Most of the rest didn’t do much. I like Sookie’s grandma and the hot chick at the bar. Whazername?
The two bad guys didn’t do much for me unfortunately. Especially the female. But they might just turn out cool. We’ll see.

Final verdict: Very strong pilot, I can’t wait to see the missing scenes.

Like said before, i’m very excited. It might just be my new best friend.
