Why True Blood might be annoying:

    Like many soap operas and shows about vampires, there have been creepy story lines involving incest, rape, adultery and murder.
    It was part of the vampire media craze, which also included the popular 'Twilight' films.
    If it was broadcast during the daytime, it would more than likely have been considered a soap opera.
    'TIME' columnist James Poniewozik gave it a less than enthusiastic review, saying it is 'a mechanical failure.'
    Despite getting critical acclaim elsewhere and a cult following, Emmy voters were reluctant to give the show major nominations in its first season (probably due to the television academy's bias toward horror/sci-fi programs).
    As a result, one of its stars, Michelle Forbes, said 'Excuse me, but fuck awards!'

Why True Blood might not be annoying:

    It was created by Six Feet Under creator and Oscar-winning screenwriter Alan Ball.
    Not only did it put Anna Paquin back in the spotlight, it gave her a Golden Globe for Lead Dramatic Actress (2009).
    It is one of the most successful shows about vampires since 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer.'
    It became HBO's most watched scripted series behind 'The Sopranos.'
    It was not completely overlooked by the Emmys in its first season.
    It received an Outstanding Casting Emmy plus a special honorary award for Breakthrough Performance for its pilot episode.
