Ugh, what do you mean it's not for teens? No, it wasn't *created* for teens, but I think teens are a lot more resilient than people give them credit for. I've seen way worse than TB when I was a couple of years younger.
The books are a lot of fun. They are by no means great literature or even very good books, but they are a very fun read.
I love the show, although I personally don't care much for all the nudity and sex in it (just personal preference). I love the vampire mythology in this show, finally a modern vampire story that adheres to old mythology better. I think all the characters are great and sympathetic.
But yeah, it's mostly a matter of personal taste. If you like your vampires a little more raw and gritty, then this is the show for you.

Yeah some teenagers are, but others can't handle it. I know when I was 13 and watched "Nightmare on Elm Street" for the first time and I was scared to fall asleep because Freddy would gut me in my dreams, and there are alot of other "young" teenagers like that too. I personally think if you are 15 or older, than your fine, its the younger "tweens" that may not be able to handle it.
Yeah okay, but I was thinking of older teens. And I think the violence and gore in True Blood isn't that bad, and it's actually not scary at all. I just get a bit peeved that usually action movies with more deaths and more graphic violence get rated as 12+ but show a boob and suddenly it's OMG NOT APPROPRIATE FOR KIDS.
Well.....its not Twilight if thats what your asking.
The show is EXTREMELY graphic and much more "adult" than your average Buffy/Moonlight tv show. But having said that the show is extremely addictive and so are the books.
Its also a show where the vampires are real "vampires" they are dark, duplicitous and manipulative. Even though some on the show are very lovable characters, they are still shockingly scary if they need to be.
my dad LOVES the books but i only watch the show.
it is NOTHING like twilight but its very good if u are not young because there r alot of sex scenes on this show. but regardless of that its an amazing show
While I have never read the books I have heard that they are very very good. I am looking forward to eventually reading the books. The TV show is like they said very addictive. It is however very very mature. If you are a young teen this is more then likely not the show for you. This would be rated R if it was a movie. There is a lot of nudity and drug references in it. If you are older this is the show for you.
Well everyone has a different opinion personally I like I but then again I like vampires, movies, series and books. Watch the show and judge for yourself.
