The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017)
7/10
Addicting, Interesting TV Show.
29 August 2013
The first four episodes are disappointing. You hear people saying great things about this show, but then you start watching it and realize you're different than everyone else who thinks The Vampire Diaries is great. Well, I suggest you make it through the first four episodes and start watching what's from then on.

This show takes a while to take off, and it's likely that you won't find it addicting right from the beginning. However, once you make it through the first few episodes, you'll see what everyone else means.

Elena is not a very interesting character right away. Nevertheless, her true colors start showing as the plots advance, and we find ourselves rooting for her to find happiness. Stefan and Damon Salvatore, the vampire brothers, are too different, yet they're the same. There's an inner essence to them that makes their differences utterly interesting to watch, because you can understand exactly why they are who they are. They are what got me through the first four episodes of the show.

The supporting characters have unique story lines of their own, so you'll see something happening at all times. This is not one of those shows that ends with a cliffhanger every episode, but the plot, the characters and the mystery that runs through the veins of this town, will be enough to keep you interested. Will you find some things too far fetched? Probably. Are some scenes truly cliché? Definitely. Still, you'll be so interested in this story that none of these things will seem to matter after all.

There are some flaws in this show, hence why I can't bring it myself to give it a 10, but it's still really, really addicting, really interesting and I can't help but recommending it to all of you, even if you normally don't enjoy supernatural things. This show is not simply about supernatural activities. Rather, it talks about feelings, differences, prejudice, history. If you haven't watched it yet, do it. You won't regret your decision.
