The Vampire Diaries (2009–2017)
7/10
Damon Salvatore - "I DO believe in killing the messenger. Why? Because it sends a message."
24 February 2024
(Full disclosure, I only watched half of the series all the way thru. Then I watched a little here & there for the other half, until I got to the last few eps of the series)

Our story takes place in the town of Mystic Falls, Virginia, where Elena Gilbert and her younger brother Jeremy are about to begin their 11th & 10th grade school year. Still adjusting to their new lives with their young Aunt as their guardian (due to the death of both of their parents in a car crash offscreen), the two teens hope to resume something resembling a normal life in returning to school. After reuniting with her best friends Caroline & Bonnie, Elena notices a new face in the hallway of the HS. A handsome young man named Stefan Salvatore.

Okay, if you are at all familiar with the show, or can read the title, you know exactly what's going on here. Stefan is an almost 200 yr old vampire. He's returned to Mystic Falls with the intention of getting to know Elena Gilbert, and little does Stefan know, his older, dangerous brother Damon (also a vampire) has returned as well. What could possibly happen?

I enjoyed the first 3 sns of this show very much. Great characters. Interesting episodes. Then in the 4th season (while still plenty enjoyable, but) I started getting a little bit bored. It seemed like the same story line regurgitated over & over. Nothing terrible, but it didn't keep my attention as well. So for the 2nd half of the series, I jumped from beginning, middle, end of the seasons until the end.

Overall, it's plenty enjoyable (if you're not burnt out on supernatural tv shows yet).
