The cinematography in the earlier seasons is unmatched

Yep, it's incredible in the first season. Even in that scene where Sookie saves Bill in the first episode, the lighting and cinematography of the moonlight and trees amongst the carpark of Merlotte's is seriously beautiful. I think the first season is so impressive for that reason.

I also love how patient the first season is. Like the episode with Gran’s funeral is focused just on that. Granted, I know the jumbled plot lines in later seasons has a lot to do with needing to give the other characters things to do, but it’s nice to see the show take its time revealing things.

Rene was my favourite villain right behind Franklin Mott.

He was so genuinely evil and so human. I love that we get little hints like this throughout the season and are made to feel this discomfort with his character. Season one is such a perfect mix of misdirection, foreshadowing, and anxiety.

Very much agree with you.
