  • Problem with vampires ?

    1.0
    Problem with vampires call sam and dean (supernatural) they will take carer of vampires Head .
  • Only watching because of Klaus + Caroline

    1.0
    Elena sucked ever since this show started. I only watched again when I heard Klaus and Caroline's love was brewing and that it was worth watching the show. I even change the channel when Dobrevs face comes on and check back periodically to see if klaroline's on.
  • This show is a stalemate!

    1.0
    This show is now becoming a drag....

    The writers have to fill 22 episodes and stuff being filled is stinking to the point of disgust.

    I think its time for Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder to quit this series. These 2 have amazing talent and clearly they are wasting it in the vampire diaries.

    Its about time they start venturing into some bigger stuff.

  • This show is becoming a DRAG! and how many vacations is this show getting?

    1.0
    This is getting totally ridiculous!!!

    Season 4 has 2 main plots - 1) FINDING THE CURE, 2)DECIDING WHO`S GOING TO TAKE IT.



    Now to have those 2 plots writers of this show have taken the entire audience on a bluff ride for 18 episodes!!

    I mean seriously, how much time do you think it should take to solve 2 plots as dumb as those?

    This show is becoming a DRAG, and its Dragging the audience with it...

    I`m not falling for this nonsense anymore...

    Maybe the writers need the cure more than the damn vampires!



    And what is up with the vacations?

    After every 2 episodes these people take a vacation for 2 weeks!! its making us lose interest because of this.

    Enough vacations or see your fanbase and viewership fall!!
  • This crap needs to be booted off TV!

    1.0
    This has to be one of the saddest TV shows on at the moment. How Vampire Diaries has made it past Season One is beyond my knowledge.
  • Gonna stop watching

    1.0
    The show has gone to hell!!!
  • All filler, no killer

    1.0
    How does anyone actually consider this a great show? Aside from girls fantasizing, I can't see any worth to it.. it's super slow, the vampires are obsessed with a girl for no real reason (once again), there's barely any story to it.. I feel like I'm reading a book, but each episode is just a couple pages of the book. Super long description of some minute occurrence such as being stuck in a cave or [insert scenario here] where one of the vampire brothers shows up to save the girl and scare off another vampire, and then that's it. It's basically a soap opera with vampires thrown in the mix. Come on guys...
  • worst show ever.

    1.0


    writer kevin williamson (dawsons creek) is doing everything he can to destroy everything i love about vampires into a "insert teen drama here" cliche of a show.




    breaking so many vampire doctrines that dracula is turning in his grave.




    the dialogue is at best...sadly funny.




    favourite moment is actually in the pilot.




    when stefan turns to elena and says... "i was never good at ... chit chat" seriously dude...never would have guessed that after a century of bloodsucking...thats the best you can come up with.




    at least everybody looks beautiful. project run away with teeth

  • Elena and her brother loses their parents. Life sucks. Suddenly a mysterious boy shows up at their school. A vampire. A couple of people die, one gets hurt. Another vampire shows up. A little fighting. And bla bla bla... Deja vu, anyone???

    1.0
    With series like True Blood and movies like Twilight out there, the Vampire Daries just doesn't cut it. It's quite boring and gives a bad taste of deja vu. I can't believe i wasted over 40 min of my life watching this crap. But if I were to mention something good about the series it would have to be that Elenas brother is kinda cute and Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is a little hot, but FYI, Stefan (Paul Wesley) is not. He is a mamas boy version of Angel (David Boreanaz). Sadly I think there's a lot of teenaged girls who will love him and this series... But in my opinion this is one of the worst vampire series ever...
  • Dire.

    1.0
    How luck are the producers? They seem to have been able to cast three wooden actors in the lead roles. Ian Somerhalder as the smug and plastic-faced evil brother, Nina Dobrev as a passable Bambi, and Paul Wesley doing a pretty good impersonation of a mute with defined abs and less well defined personality.





    As if that wasn't bad enough, the same formulaic plot in every episode is just tedious; evil brother spreads rumour, Bambi told by friend of rumour, cue pouting and the inevitable falling out, followed by the hackneyed stalwart of other angst-ridden dramas - the make-up/make-out session. Imagine my surprise when next week the same thing happens all over again.
  • 1 girl, 2 vamps this story is getting old already

    1.0
    Not much to review, same tween vampire trend that all the little girls are eating up. I see no real interest in this and I hope it doesn't make it past a first season. Buffy and Angel were the only CW young adult Vampire shows I'd watch. This was so dull, no original concept, storyline, characters... I can at least enjoy True Blood but it's not a watered down CW show. I didn't even enjoy Twilight so I guess I'm just not into this tween crap. Can this crap and bring back Terminator: TSCC. If you're a youngin and have never seen Buffy go rent or buy some DVD's and watch that instead of this crap.
  • Girl meets guy, who so happens to be a vampire. Guy fell in love with girl. Guy's brother come into the picture. Blah blah blah.

    1.0
    Another chick vampire flick?? Isn't Twilight enough? Why are they cancelling all the good vampire series such as Moonlight and Angel? We need more in-depth storylines, not some cheap, cliched plots like this one! Although the cast is well chosen, the plot is seriously over-used. We can use some coffee to actually stay awake throughout the entire episode. The idea that the main vampire character is all "sparkling" with goodness and always trying to help the "damsel in distress" female protagonist is getting way boring. I doubt that I will give this series another thought. 4.6 million viewers, seriously? Supernatural deserves the love, not this chick flick.
  • One of the worst.

    1.0
    What can you say. Platsic Barbie looking girls that can't act, just smile and try look cute. Toooooo much makeup and somtimes the girls look old. What are they 15 or 30? Hmm.





    And the vampire guy look old and what on earth did he wear?





    I know it's not about the looks and what cloths they have, but I can't help to not like it at all.





    And how they act in this show is horrible. It looks like one of my first movies I did when I was 12. And the show feels like a bad copy of Twilight.





    I'm not going to follow this show and I'm sure it will be a short one. Hell pull the plug now and use the time and money on something better!





    Score: 1 of 5
  • Worst piece of teen-vampire dung I have ever scene.

    1.0
    Predictably lame. I hate this show with every fiber of my being. Take every schlocky cliche you can imagine about teen angst films and every schlocky cliche you can imagine about crappy vampire movies and put them together and you will have the steaming pile of crud that you could ever find in the way of a cruddy tv show. Seriously though, this is by far one of the lamest shows i think i have ever seen. I for one would rather carve my eyeballs out of my own head than to watch one more episode of this drivel. Corporate cookie-cutter crapavision.
  • Another vampire story?

    1.0
    I don't get the whole Vampire-Human Relationship. The whole vampire thing is a MYTH and NOT real. I hated Twilight and thought Stephenie Meyer is an awful author and it doesn't change the fact that this show is any better. I don't get why do people waste their time watching some mythical creature exploring the mortal world, oh wait, I know why, they're all a bunch of fan girls probably crushing over the vampire. Pathetic. There are tons of shows that is just as good and is actually not far from reality and is just as entertaining and actually MAKES SENSE rather than this show.
  • The writers are pissing off the fans

    1.5
    Anyone who went on tumblr, or or youtube would easily see that what the writers are doing with the characters is infuriating the fans. The fans are fed up with elena whining about everything and beign the center of the universe. the writers justify her whining by sayign she has been through so much. But in reality she hasnt been through as much as some of her friends. Caroline has been kidnapped 5 times, tortured 4 times, has nearly died twice from hybrid bites, was raped and abused by damon (and yes it was rape because he compelled away her will to fight back or deny him, she was not a consensual or willing elena could care actually throws it in carolines face because everything revolves around her.

    Then you take into account that the writers arent being logical at all when it comes to the other characters. If Klaus gains camille as a love interest in the spin off, fans are going to be infuriated. Why would a 1000 year old vampire who has never had a relationship with a woman besides sex and draining suddenly start a relationship with a human? especially since we all know that for the first time in over 1000 years he has fallen in love with caroline.

    Bonnies story line has gone down the toilet as well.

    THE ONLY REASON I CONTINUE TO HANG AROUND THE SHOW AT THIS POINT IS TO SEE IF ANY KLAROLINE COMES OF IT
  • Interview Style Annoying

    2.0
    Anyone else find this "interview style" storytelling annoying? The background might as well just be out-of-focus cardboard cut-outs, with ambient sound, since almost the whole thing is shot like each character is being interviewed, and no one else is really there. No interaction with them, no nothing.
  • GETTING REALLY BORING

    2.0
    Show is dragging..18 episodes and we are yet to know what the season is all about. Catherine suddenly showing up with elija. the true face of silas not seen since is awakening. this surely has to be the final season
  • Not consistent

    2.0
    I love this show but I am getting slightly iterated that the show is on every week and then once a fortnight. Seriously CW cant make their mind up when they are having shows on.



    This sounds sad, but I have all my favorite shows on calendar so I know what I have to look forward to watching that night.
  • It Sucks

    2.0
    Come on, an other Vampire show where a teen past the all focken season after a 500 years Dude, The same all story that we know since Dracula, the story it's not bad, but it stinks. Just the crazy teens want to see it, It is an sick version of twillight saga. we want something original. Not the same Vampire can't date a normal teen stuff. In every coutry there are a vampire season. We don't want to bee seen in the future like the vampire sicks generation. The vampire thing is not bad, But the story in it is what meke me feel sick. Give us something new,
  • Probably the worst vampire show.

    2.0
    There are only 2 episodes, but it looks like it's gonna be the worst vampire show ever. Script is so ugly, that you can't tell the difference between Vampire Diaries and Beverly Hills 90210. Instead of good chilling storyline you have a bunch of stupid teenagers who whine about their ex-partners, fight about almost everything and talk crappy stuff. Not much vampires actually, just teenagers.





    Well, maybe if you're a teenager yourself, you may like it, but when you're in your middle-ages this look totally nonsense. I would really liked something more Moonlight-ish or True Blood-ish or New Amsterdam-ish. Hope this show will grow in closest 2 upcoming episodes, otherwise I'll quit watching.
  • This show is pure annoyance wraped up with in a pretty wrapping of bad acting and even worst writing.

    2.5
    This show is pure annoyance wraped up with in a pretty wrapping of bad acting and even worst writing.





    I don't feel like going on and on about what I don't like about the show so I'll just state the few things - two, in fact - things I appreciate from the CW vamp show.





    One, Caroline effing Forbes, A.K.A. super Caroline who could make any annoying scene bareable just by being in it.





    Two, Price Petterson's tv.com tVD reviews which are always wity and just in their reaccounting of the show. For example, they state the stupid things the characters do with subtitled recap pictures, which make for light humor.





    The end.


    p.s., good things the show airs during the school year so that when it starts I always have the excuse of getting up, shut down the tvo and go and do homework, study, reading, kniting or anything but watch tVD.
  • 3rd or 4th vampire show since they trying to milk the whole twilight thing. Nothing special just vampire version of one three hill

    2.5
    I don't have anything against the shows that try to milk the whole new oooh lets make vampire shows. Honestly I do like some novels related to this myth. But only reason these shows are made not because all these writers just suddenly all came up with the whole vampire trend by themselves because they been directed that way.





    I like True Blood better even tho that's also pretty far from reality but the quality of the show is a lot different then these all new vampire shows.





    I don't know what could be the next trend.. Zombies? wait that's done already.. Werewolves? Only time will tell
  • Currently at Season 2

    3.0
    So I was near the ending of season 2, and I kind of thought it was starting to get stupid. Like how stefan can catch shooting wood stakes so easily, yet Pearl couldn't. Forget the shooting, Elijah was suppose to be an original yet he couldn't even dodge a running vampire at 1/10th of his age? I thought bringing an original was a good twist but its pretty stupid showing how they killed him 3x, 2x in 1 episode. I liked the show until they started showing someone from being godly and unkillable to slower reflex then a human.

    Also one thing, how can Stefan catch a football coming at his head from behind him, without it touching him, while Elijah cant dodge something in-front of him?
  • This show is a time vampire, but in a bad way.

    3.0
    Bringing Catherine back into the show so suddenly is terrible, desperate writing. Was this merely a way to write Jeremy off for a select no of episodes before they find some ridiculous way to write him back in? No doubt he will be dealt back in through what Silas has planned.



    The addition of this Silas as the first immortal, who was never previously mentioned, is sop***ric at best. I guess the originals weren't that original after all. The new nemesis I can imagine. I wonder if the writers have any clue what is going to happen 3 episodes from now?



    Rebekah is an original, and yet the show has her playing one of those blonde helpless barbies, usually the first to die in those awful hack'n'slash films. It would be nice to see the vampires in this show act like actual vampires instead of brooding teenagers. Especially Elena. She is still just as boring as ever. If it weren't for Damon, I doubt this show would survive.



    Klaus. I think we all remember the long build up to his first appearance, only to be completely underwhelmed. He acts like a trust fund brat with daddy issues. A self absorbed asshole. Not a vampire who's lived for centuries. His father, though only present for a few episodes, added some much needed class to the show. Too expensive to have him as a regular maybe?



    Elijah on the other hand was a great character. Much more representative of his race than all the others. A classic vampire who exuded menace, mixed with detachment, a strong sense of honor, and extreme violence. This is what you would expect from a vampire as old as he is. He didn't relate to anyone else in the show, which I thought was a great thing. Such a pity was never a main character.



    I can say all this because I've watched every episode. I'm hoping in vain that this show will improve, but considering the target demographic, unlikely.
  • The first season has been fantastic but season two is just not much sorry but with every episode i just feel like "Not again!!!".

    3.0

    The first season has been fantastic but season two is just not much sorry but with every episode i just feel like "Not again!!!".




    And the idea of another vampire+suffer+romance tv show is just not right to me, sorry for the fans but that's how i feel :):).

  • How to waste 41 minutes of your life

    3.0
    This show is the dictionary definition of "jumping on the bandwagon." Vampires are in right now (True Blood, Twilight, etc.) so let's patch a show together that'll feed on their flames. This show misses the mark so badly someone should call out "Fore!" This entire pilot, the entire time, has music playing in the background -- a barrage of dopey high school rock ballads set to such important scenes as making morning coffee. There might be, I can't remember for sure, maybe 60 seconds without the sappy, simple-minded mood-rock that is apparently all the rage since Grey's Anatomy. Here's an idea: when people are walking down the sidewalk, I don't need to have my heartstrings pulled on -- they're walking down the sidewalk!(I put 'they're walking down the sidewalk' in all caps and had to change it because this notepad program won't allow all caps -- LAME ALERT) To compound this point -- when people are having conversations about being admitted to school that year, I don't need to hear a goofy one-hit-wonder rockboy band singing lame vibro-pitched lyrics about "loving you, oooohhh heeeyyy." Take any Kyle XY episode (as attrocious as that thought is), remove all audio, replace that audio by lip-synching in any random dialogue from any Saved by the Bell episode and then overlay a soundtrack consisting of every Oasis B-side song ever made and you would have a show better than this one. I know its set in high school, but can the kids like, ya know, like not talk so like stupid like all of the time, omg. I am a huge fan of the vampire genre and am apalled at the lack of imagination and intuition this show has. I know its a CW show, I know its targeted most likely for high schoolers, but good God man, when I was in high school I had Twin Peaks -- is this the best they could do. Forget about this show and watch True Blood, when you get through with that, forget about this show again and watch Twin Peaks, after that watch one more episode of The Vampire Diaries and realize how bad it sucks!
  • Going off the boil

    I love anything with vamps and I too caught this through Netflix. I like the ideas but it feels like its going downhill since the introduction of The Originals, I know I'm behind most of you episode wise, I will stick with it for now.
  • Something is wrong?

    4.0
    It can be entertaining but the truth is, it has turned dull with too many plot holes and inconsistent characters to count.
