Episode 1 of Season 1 (2008-2009)
Originally aired Sep 7, 2008

Across the country, vampires have “come out of the coffin” following the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood. In Louisiana, Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress with telepathic abilities, falls under the spell of sexy, 173-year-old vampire Bill Compton – whose thoughts she can’t read. After saving Bill from the Rattrays, a pair of ruthless “vampire drainers,” Sookie tests the limits of Bill’s gratitude when the two are left alone in the dark. Meanwhile, Sookie’s best friend Tara goes to work for Sam Merlotte at his bar and grill, while Sookie’s roguish brother Jason finds himself in hot water when a “fangbanger” with whom he’s been intimate meets a tragic end.
