Tv Series Review: Vampire

By Mary McGregor

 
Vampires, Werewolves, witches, and hybrids; a mixture of a vampire and a werewolf, this show has it all! Now I know the name can be a little decisive and girly and make you think, what could this show possible be about? A diary all about vampires? Although a very good guess, and very conclusive, there is more included into the story that is ‘The Vampire Diaries’.

          Since the pilot was aired on September 10, 2009, ’The Vampire Diaries’ has grown into a world wide phenomenon, being loved by not only teenagers but young adults also. Taking place in Mystic Falls, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ tells the story of Elena Gibert, Stefan Salvatore, and Stefan’s older brother Damon Salvatore, played by Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley, and Ian Somerhalder, Elena human while both brothers are vampires from the 1800’s. Elena meets Stefan on her first day of Junior year, instantly falling for him. Soon Elena notices that something is off about this mysterious boy who goes by the name of Stefan when she finds him randomly at the towns grave yard where Elena writes in her diary about everything she feels in front of her parents gravestones.

          Not long after Stefan meets Elena his brother Damon arrives, not peacefully might I add. Damon was ticked off at Stefan and, at the time, we had no idea why! Later episodes soon explaining his wild behavior. As Elena began to get closer to Stefan she soon meets the other Salvatore brother, his charm never ceasing to amaze her. Soon enough Elena falls for both brothers, causing conflict not only between Stefan and Elena but also between the brothers, both wanting her affection. But the problems don’t stop there, soon you find out there is a clan of ‘Original Vampires’, the first generation of vampires who cause conflict all over the town of Mystic Falls.

          With a total of 5 seasons, conflict occurs with loved ones dying and coming back from the other side, one of Elena’s best friends, Bonnie, a witch, dying but comes back as an anchor to the other side, and doppelgängers who cause nothing but trouble. If you haven’t already, this show is pretty confusing but once you watch all the seasons from the beginning it all makes sense, I promise! And your in luck! Netflix has 4 out of 5 seasons, the 5th soon to be added, I hope!  And it doesn’t stop there, ‘The Vampire Diaries’ just announced another season! So use your time wisely and catch up on the exciting story of Elena Gilbert and the Salvatore brothers and join in on the premiere of the 6th season, which is still to be announced, I know I’ll be watching! And if you want ever more of ‘The Vampire Diaries’ you can download their app or even go on the CW website to see special features and exclusive content, along with some of the most recent episodes!
