Last week's premiere of HBO's True Blood was huge. Now in its third season, it's a bona fide hit, getting numbers much bigger Treme or The Pacific or (alas) Breaking Bad. In fact, it's already been renewed for a fourth season.

I watched the first couple shows when it debuted and gave up. Is there something I'm missing? I'd be willing to try it again, but they'd have to start showing the first season. I don't want to jump in the middle.
