You watched ALL of The Sopranos, but True Blood is too vulgar for you? LOL!!!!!!!

Well... vampires are sexual creatures, according to pretty much every vampire story ever written, so there will be some sex... and HBO does have a tendency to take things to extremes... but it's FAR from all sex, all the time, and the dialogue is no more vulgar than that of any other HBO show. I'd say there is more violence than vulgarity.

Oh yeah, there's far more violence than sex. Also, season 2 got really extreme in that regard, some scenes grossed me out, and I'm not grossed out easily (yeah, that cannibalism scene, jeez). But hey, props to HBO for having a set of balls. On any other network the series would've deteriorated into a sitcom comedy by now.

Wow, I'm missing so much great stuff on True Blood. If I'd known it would also get really violent, well, then I would've stuck with it.

I enjoyed watching The Sopranos because almost every character was such a despicable excuse for a human being that when they got themselves into miserable situations (and they always did) I could laugh at them. It was cathartic. (I would have enjoyed the show a lot more if a lot more characters died, though. That's what I kept hoping for.) So all the depravity that went on in the show just made me want to see the next episode more, so that there was another chance for them to suffer and for me to feel good about how they were being punished for what they'd done.

Most people probably watched The Sopranos for different reasons than I did.

Ah, well, then may I suggest It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? You will probably not find a comedy about more despicable people than that.
