“True Blood” is an American TV series based on the novels by Charlaine Harris. It is set in a fictional town called “Bon-Temps” in Louisiana and it is about the co-exsistence of vampires and humans.
The plot centres on the love story between an innocent young waitress and a 170 year old vampire. This goes against the social restraints of the time both for vampires and humans so by them going against these social conventions a lot of trouble is brought to the couple and all those in the small town. A lot of “bad” things are associated with vampires such as sex and rape, violence, murder, etc.
The soundtrack for the programme is called “Bad things” by Jace Everett and the lyrics have strong sexual connotations which is possibly one of the biggest themes in “True Blood”. The accompanying video to the song demonstrates such “bad” things being carried out, as well as other themes in the programme such as religion. Examples include people having sex, crime being carried out, dead animals and blood graphically displayed.
