The Daily Beast: "True Blood's Return: Secrets From Season 3"

Hungry for more True Blood?

Head over to The Daily Beast, where you can read my latest feature, "True Blood's Return: Secrets From Season 3," where I talk about my late-night visit to the set of HBO's vampire drama and interview series creator/executive producer Alan Ball and stars Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, and Alexander Skarsgard, and new cast member Denis O'Hare about what's coming up on the third season of the deliciously addictive drama.

If that weren't enough True Blood goodness, be sure to also check out the in-depth character-based gallery, where I break down what's coming up for your favorite characters--Sookie, Bill, Eric, Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis), Tara (Rutina Wesley), Jason (Ryan Kwanten), Sam (Sam Trammell), Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten), Sophie-Anne (Evan Rachel Wood), and newbie Russell, plus the werewolves--thanks to some insight from Ball, Paquin, Moyer, Skarsgard, and O'Hare.

(You can also read my advance review of the first three episodes of Season Three of True Blood here.)

What are you most looking forward to this season on True Blood? And is the anticipation driving you insane? Head to the comments section to discuss.

Season Three of True Blood launches this Sunday evening at 9 pm ET/PT on HBO.

Great article. What an awarding experience it must have been to actually visit the set of such a great and successful show. I am excited to see the love triangle that is Sookie, Bill and Eric. I am also excited to see the impact that the werewolves will have on the show. Another great interest of mine is the contest and comparison of True Blood and Twilight. Both release their next chapters this month with TB season 3 vs Eclipse. True Blood is winning on my TB vs Twilight release poll on www.paromantasy.com
I'm sure the turn out for both vamp shows will be blood sucking!

Great piece on The Daily Beast! Can't wait for the premiere! I had forgotten some things from last season so your piece reminded me of where we left off with a lot of the characters and filled me in on the gaps in my memory! So Thanks!

Katie Lee Packs Her Knives: Breaking News from Bravo's "Top Chef"

The android has left the building. Or the test kitchen, anyway. Top Chef 's robotic host Katie Lee Joel, the veritable "Uptown Girl" herself (pictured at left), will NOT be sticking around for a second course of Bravo's hit culinary competition. According to a well-placed insider, Joel will "not be returning" to the show. No reason for her departure was cited. Unfortunately, the perfect replacement for Joel, Top Chef judge and professional chef Tom Colicchio, will not be taking over as the reality series' host (damn!). Instead, the show's producers are currently scouring to find a replacement for Joel. Top Chef 's second season was announced by Bravo last month, but no return date has been set for the series' ten-episode sophomore season. Stay tuned as this story develops. UPDATE (6/27): Bravo has now confirmed the above story .

BuzzFeed: Meet The TV Successor To "Serial"

HBO's stranger-than-fiction true crime documentary The Jinx   — about real estate heir Robert Durst — brings the chills and thrills missing since Serial   wrapped up its first season. Serial   obsessives: HBO's latest documentary series is exactly what you've been waiting for.   The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst , like Sarah Koenig's beloved podcast, sifts through old documents, finds new leads from fresh interviews, and seeks to determine just what happened on a fateful day in which the most foul murder was committed. And, also like  Serial  before it,  The Jinx may also hold no ultimate answer to innocence or guilt. But that seems almost beside the point; such investigations often remain murky and unclear, and guilt is not so easy a thing to be judged. Instead, this upcoming six-part tantalizing murder mystery, from director Andrew Jarecki ( Capturing the Friedmans ), is a gripping true crime story that unfolds with all of the speed of a page-turner; it

BuzzFeed: "The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now"

The CBS legal drama, now in its sixth season, continually shakes up its narrative foundations and proves itself fearless in the process. Spoilers ahead, if you’re not up to date on the show. At BuzzFeed, you can read my latest feature, " The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now," in which I praise CBS' The Good Wife and, well, hail it as the best show currently on television. (Yes, you read that right.) There is no need to be delicate here: If you’re not watching The Good Wife, you are missing out on the best show on television. I won’t qualify that statement in the least — I’m not talking about the best show currently airing on broadcast television or outside of cable or on premium or however you want to sandbox this remarkable show. No, the legal drama is the best thing currently airing on any channel on television. That The Good Wife is this perfect in its sixth season is reason to truly celebrate. Few shows embrace complexity and risk-taking in t
