True Blood is a television drama series created and produced by Alan Ball and based on the novels The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charliane Harris. It stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. The show is set in Bon Temps, Louisiana where humans and vampires co-exist with one another. The show contains many controversial topics as does every SHOWTIME/HBO series does. The very first time I watched this series I instantly loved it because of the raw and unordinary storyline. The show is not afraid to show every side to it whether it be a dark, raw side or a light, clean side. There are no boundaries to this show and I think that is one of the main reasons I am a fan. This relates to the key concept media contain ideological and value messages because even though this show mainly shows the edgy perspective of things it always contains an important message. For example there is a homosexual character that goes through many events that are very controversial but he is a friend of many. Even the vampires of the show who are seen to be suave and sophisticated promote homosexuality.
