I agree with this, but to be fair to True Blood, they were based on books that brought in all those extra characters. Of course. But in books you have a lot more room for exposition, and for characters. There are also more books in the series than there are seasons of True Blood. Add in the fact that they changed many characters, and expanded their roles, and were still trying to do it during brief HBO seasons, and it was a recipe for disaster.

I'm sure it was. I'm just saying, some of the characters would've had to be brought in because their roles couldn't just be absorbed into other existing characters. But I will be honest, I only watched the first season to completion and part of the second, so I didn't see how bad it got.
