A brilliant film that helped define a genre

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Loved this show but My God, could Nina Dobrev's character be more annoying and more of a pain in the... There isn't one episode where her character Elena is flattering. However, she redeems herself when playing Katherine. One HORRIFIC character which the show is so (too much) centered around and the other character was truly great. Still I give the show a 9 out of 10, as it's one of the very few series I can stand for 8 seasons. However it is definitely not as good as it's successor The Originals.

I'm a huge fan of vampires so I really loved this show. At least the first 6 seasons. Once Nina left things went down hill just a little. You can really see the difference in chemistry between Elena and Damon after their real life breakup. The season finale was a disappointment. I enjoyed how the characters developed over time. Caroline became the strongest (IMO). Damon was my favorite of the bothers. He had some great one liners in the show. Enzo had the best one liners though. I've watched the show 3 times already. Although I stop after season 6. No sense in wasting time watching the last two seasons over again.Definitely watch The Originals if you watch The Vampire Diaries. The Originals are just as awesome.

I was a fan of Nina Dobrev from the Degrassi series. So when I saw she was announcing the start of Vampire Diaries I was so stocked. I still think my favorite episode was the very first one. It seemed like Damon and Stefan had more powers. I mean Damon created fog and the bird he had he controlled. As the season progressed it seemed they lost more and more of the vampire lore powers at least the show keep a few. The characters were so driven and the story keep progressing. Last thing I can say give this show a chance and give it a watch it will not disappoint you at all. And be ready to cry at the last episode it will really get to you as the show start to end.

Watched all seasons multiple times!! Soo engaging!! Brilliant storylines and brilliant actors
