I am rating The Vampire Diaries five stars because I love it so much. As soon as I started watching it, I couldn't stop. By the time I realized, the first episode became the sixth and so on. I really loved it from the start. I fell in love with the characters and their stories. My friends think I am obsessed with the show but they don't understand :D. It has drama, love stories, humor, sadness, so to me as the viewer, I am very satisfied with it.
