In season 4 of "True Blood", the show suffered from many of its past ailments. Including the incessant 'bad guy won't die' theme, pointless deaths, and a lot of repetitiveness, only a few of the shows strengths allowed it to coast this season. The witches theme, and an early-abandoned fairy theme, added to the mythological strengths of the show, and as usual the cast contained a lot of like-ability and decent arcs. However, there were too many diversions, and half-promises and half-deliveries. If you watch "True Blood" and you're on season 4, you obviously care about the characters and what will happen to them to be too maddened by the silliness, but there definitely was an overflow of it this season. More like, the show would do something extremely stupid, and then happily redeem itself with a great episode, line, or arc. The season finale especially was like this. The first thirty minutes were laughable crap, but the last thirty were exciting and reminiscent of why the show was so involving in the first place. Decent.
True Blood (S.4): ★★★
