10 scenes that prove HBO really has no limits.

Famous tagline "no limits" is one of the best advertising strategies from HBO. Is it really true though? Yes. We get to see things on HBO that an ordinary broadcasting station wouldn't dare to show. And though Showtime and AMC have a fair share of shocking things in their shows, HBO still takes the prize for the most courageous station.

Saturday TV Special: True Blood

Plot: Based on the series of novels by Charlaine Harris, "True Blood" follows young waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who is able to read in other people's minds. The show is set in Bon Temps, Louisiana, in the world where vampires exist among people and actually fight for their rights. The title refers to the synthetic blood the vampires drink in order not to feed off people. But as there are those of them who try to live peacefully among humans - as Sookie's main love interest Bill Compton, there are also others, who miss the old ways. During the course of the show other supernatural beings make appearance - werewolves, shape shifters, fairies, ghosts and even a Meanad, straight from Greek mythology.
Structure: Each season is centered around different major issue - first season is the only one to follow the books closely and it deals with a serial killer who murders women associated to vampires, second season deals with the curious character of MaryAnn who takes over the town, third one introduces werewolves and fourth one - based on the best novel and unfortunately the worst season of the show yet - deals with witches, fairies and magic. There also major story arcs that last through the entire series - the addiction to vampire blood - V - which is a powerful narcotic when consumed by humans, Sookie's many suitors and her doubts about all of them, the people who want to destroy the vampires - the Fellowship of the Sun, which is essentially a church and a gathering of fanatics and Sookie's struggle to find out why is she a telepath.
