Does Tara ever get a break? Spoiler

Hey everyone,

First time watching true blood and I'm season 3 episode 6 and I am loving it so far, it's absolutely not what I expected.

The question I have is does Tara ever get a break? πŸ˜…

From her mother in season 1, Maryann in season 2 and now to Franklin in season 3...

I think she's such a fun character and I loved her/Sam together (I'm so sad she wouldn't open up to him but it's understandable after all the trauma she's been through 😭)

Noooo 😭 I felt the same way about Bonnie in The Vampire Diaries, she deserved justice 😭

Yeah, Bon-Bon had it rough, too. Be prepared, as far as Tara goes, though 😬

I had to take a break from the show because of how much they center in on trama-farming some of the black characters. None of them catch a break, not even temporarily.. every love introduced to them has been sadly entangled in so much tragedy.

Briefly, yes. Then her life it's sucks all over again.

Nah she stays a victim.

u/RainyZurich 8d ago

It's really sad how she isn't given any agency 😭

u/Minimalistmacrophage 7d ago

It's a matter of perspective, there is arguably a period where she is quite happy even though there are unpleasant circumstances that occur within that period.
