Do you like to read? It's my favorite way to spend my free time. 
Reading's great. Did you hear that Charlaine Harris's books are going to be made into more tv shows? Her previous silver screen ventures have been successful so they've greenlit more.
Eh, I liked the True Blood adaptation okay but I really disliked how far they strayed from the books and the negative way that they chose to portray the South. 
What bothered you about the portrayal of the south. while you were watching true blood?
Well, in the books, the main werewolves are from a poorer area but they have a really strong community, they help each other out and they're kind of noble. The main werewolf is a factory worker who provides for his family. The show changed this to make them child abusing drug addicts who are all criminals. 
Yeah, there are some major issues with how popular media depicts the poor. It's definitely classist. But how is that a criticism of the south?
To me, it fell in to a stereotype of poor southerners. And because this was something they changed drastically from the source material, it was purposeful. They took a relatively positive portrayal and turned it in to a negative one, for no real reason. 
Were the werewolves also racially coded? Media depictions often mistreat poor people of color.
No, this was a depiction of 'white trash' southerners. The issues with the way people of color were portrayed is another kettle of fish. 
That's not good. The American "tradition" of ignoring marginalized people is just disgusting. Hopefully her next book to tv adaptation is better.
