True Blood: The Complete Third Season (Blu-ray)
Am I the only guy that's sick of vampires? I've never been a huge fan of this series but have stuck with it for the sake of our readers, but I'm not sure I can handle another season of it. Sure, through its 12 episodes there is the occasional winner, but overall it's an up-and-down affair and isn't one of HBO's greatest hits.
Video Highlights
- AVC/1080p encode on a BD-50 discs
- Bold color saturation, especially red and green
- Excellent detail
- Inky blacks and revealing shadows
Audio Highlights
- DTS-HD MA 5.1 soundtrack
- Intelligible dialog
- Impressive score featuring crisp dynamics
- Creative sound design with ample discrete effects
Like the previous two seasons, the presentation is outstanding with plenty of detail, inky blacks, and bold colors. The audio track is the best part of the show and features crisp dynamics and a plethora of discrete effects.
Bonus Materials
- Enhanced Viewing Experience (PIP)
- Audio Commentaries
- Post Mortems on each episode
- Character Perspectives
- Anatomy of a Scene: Episode 2
- True Blood Lines interactive guide
- Previews and Recaps of each episode
- Snoop Dog music video
If you're a fan of the show, you'll definitely want to add this to your collection due to the outstanding presentation. If you're as sick of vampires as I am, then this isn't the show for you. Recommended for fans only.
