The TVI Take
Alan Ball's 2008-14 HBO Louisiana-set vampire drama adapted from Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire Mysteries novels. The structural commitment to letting Southern-Louisiana cultural-cognitive register coexist with vampire-genre material, and the post-2008-Twilight commercial-vampire-renaissance the show partially launched, is canonical HBO late-2000s prestige genre work.
Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer anchor.
