VAMPIRE DIARIES / THE ORIGINALS

Mystic Falls is a West Virginian Town where everyone sounds like they are from New England. Except for British actors playing originals of course. The high school kids drink in bars w/o fake IDS served by 15-16 bar tenders, played by 25-35 yo actors. Rings keep Vampires safe during the day. Pretty much if you are African American you are or are related to a witch. Vampires can kill werewolves but if bit vampire is bit by the wolf, vamp dies a slow painful death. yet another series that tries to reinvent the wheel known as Vampire Lore mixed in with typical CW soapy teen angst and we still tune in to watch every week. I was bit from early on. I much prefer the new Originals spin off - better actors, cooler back drop of New Orleans, crazier witches, higher stakes... But still watching weekly...

The show, based on the books by L.J. Smith, first premiered in 2009. I remember when they first came out we were all like - WOW another Twilight rip off. But the books predate Twilight  by 14 years.Although I am sure, the amount of money made off the crappiest movies I have ever seen were inspiration to do more Vamps on film.
