True Blood was too weird. I watched one episode and all the characters felt so -for lack of a better word* stupid. Do you know what I mean? If I was a person from Louisiana I'd probably feel insulted.
Ju Dou sounds heartbreaking. I've only watched Chinese historical epics with empresses and warriors, but I think they often use composition, colour, lighting to maximum emotional impact the way you describe here. Maybe the aesthetics come from the Chinese opera?
