My wife and I have been catching every episode of True Blood and, although it's not perfect, we're enjoying it quite a bit. The character development is a little lacking and they've missed an opportunity to do really cinematic images of the South, but it's fun to watch all the same. The one aspect of the show that is perfect is the opening title sequence by Digital Kitchen. The imagery, pace and music do an excellent job of setting the scene and providing the overall tone. I don't watch a whole lot of television these days, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think these are some of the best titles I've seen since Six Feet Under—which is fitting since both shows feature Alan Ball as Executive Producer.

I also love the titles. I have never heard of the show, but you’re right - it did set me up perfectly. The half-second “God Hates Fangs” image was pivotal. After watching it, I thought I knew what the show was about, and reading the premise on the show’s site precisely confirmed my guess.

To catch the show on tv, you need to subscribe to Movie Central or The Movie Network. The other option is to download it. The reviews have been a mixed bag but, if you’re into vampires or the overall premise, it’s worth checking out.
