True Blood: Season 6 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Small-town Louisiana waitress Sookie Stackhouse already is viewed as an oddball by her friends and neighbors, since she can read the minds of those around her. She doesn't exactly help her reputation, though, when she falls for Bill Compton, a 173-year-old vampire who has "come out of the coffin" along with many of his undead comrades now that a new synthetic blood has made it possible for vampires to survive without preying on humans. Still, the conservative locals aren't wild about mortal-vampire liaisons, especially Sookie's boss, Sam Merlotte, who carries a torch for her. "Six Feet Under" creator Alan Ball is behind this series adaptation of best-selling novels by Charlaine Harris.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

A major letdown coming off the end of season five, True Blood seems to be running out of steam and isn't aging as elegantly as its eternal vampires.

True Blood: Season 6 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Allison Keene Collider Given the last several seasons of the show, though, the turnaround was really immense, and has set up a decent final season. Sep 9, 2020 Full Review True Blood: Season 6 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Phil Harrison Time Out Truly an object lesson in the consequences of removing all sense of jeopardy from a story in the interests of cynically stringing it out: events in 'True Blood' have become all but meaningless. Sep 24, 2018 Full Review True Blood: Season 6 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Mike Hale New York Times There's nothing wrong with a little social relevance, but that's never been what made True Blood worthwhile - if the show isn't fast, funny, scary and sexy, it's nothing. Jun 23, 2018 Full Review True Blood: Season 6 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Bill Chambers Film Freak Central The show's sixth year represents a marginal rebound--though at this point in my "True Blood" journey, I'm just a masochist ranking the instruments of torture. Mar 3, 2022 Full Review True Blood: Season 6 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Leigh Clark CineVue True Blood: Season 6 is a nonsensical and deliciously high camp return to form for the show. Rated: 4/5 Mar 22, 2019 Full Review True Blood: Season 6 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Guillermo Altares El Pais (Spain) True Blood returns true to form.

Brady B I love the entire True Blood series. It was some of the best TV I've seen to date! I would watch it again and recommend to any lover of the genre. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/23 Full Review Raakhee N Ghosh! I haven't watched anything as bad as this series and I love vampire stories. I mean if I hate Elena Gilbert from The Vampire Diaries, Sookie Stackhouse takes the winning podium! Such a selfish, sick character. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Elena J One Of The Best Most Underrated Lea Michele Chord Overstreet 2013 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review robert p Each subsequent season goes downhill but it's still fun to watch all the way through each season!!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review diane h I wanted to fast forward through the boring parts in season six, episode 9, but there were too many. The flashbacks during the funeral were totally unnecessary, as was the funeral itself. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sex scenes and Bill Compton . The nightmare continues , literally . Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
