"Hepatitis V" has swept the globe. The disease can be carried by both humans and vampires alike, but is harmful only to the latter. It is passed on by body fluid transfer, including blood, meaning that any infected human - and any human could be infected - a death sentence for a vampire that feeds on them.
Packs of infected vampires are now roaming the less urban parts of the US, threatening isolated towns with destruction. Humans - and those uninfected vampires who hope to peacefully co-exist with them - must work together to stay safe.
And then if all this confusion and mayhem was not enough, there comes the possibility of a cure ...
This final season of True Blood is generally a reasonably enjoyable romp, and in particular I think that it ends strongly, which is a key checkbox to tick off for your show's finale. That doesn't mean it is entirely free from flaws, of course. I found its treatment of Tara and Pam to be very disappointing, for instance. But on the whole, it wraps up its narrative - including the central question of 'can humans and vampires find a way to co-exist?', and the individual fates of most of the main cast - in a satisfying manner.
If you've come this far with the show, I definitely think it is worth coming back for the final 10 episodes.
