The repercussions of witch Marnie’s actions ripple across Bon Temps at the start of the fifth season. Tara is lying in a pool of blood in Sookie’s arms; the wolf pack are hunting Sam down and Eric and Bill are about to face the wrath of the Authority, having disposed of Nan.
There’s a lot of plot to get through, but there are some almost-comic high points: Jason getting the strangest proposition from a former nemesis; Pam in a yellow leisure suit; and Bill and Eric’s creative method for escaping the locked boot of a car (definitely do not try this at home).
About this programme
1/12. The supernatural drama picks up directly where the dramatic finale to the fourth series left off, with Sookie and Lafayette struggling to decide what to do about Tara, who saved her best friend's life, but appears to have sacrificed her own in the process. Meanwhile, Eric and Bill are seemingly spared an audience with the Authority by the intervention of another of Godric's vampire children, and Jason is stunned by the return of Reverend Newlin, previously thought to be dead.
