I agree.
I actually thought the first episode was a little on the hokey side and I considered giving up on it. But it has gotten increasingly better (aside from the drawn out Mary Anne story -- which has finally been made a little more clear) and is one of my favorite shows at the moment.
I do have to wonder, though...why doesn't Sookie (or the hotel bellhop) make a fortune working for the FBI/CIA/Police? With their gift, they choose to be a waitress at a redneck bar and a bellhop at a vampire hotel?

It appears that their childhoods weren't all that fun because of their mind reading abilities, so that's why they try to suppress their senses whenever possible. I can understand why they wouldn't want to exploit these abilities as a full-time job, but I am a little stunned that they have such little ambition in life. You would think that such skills would help you in ANY field, not least of which in the examples you provided.
