First off, I want to say that the fans of TVD and The Originals are expecting this show to be just like it and it annoys me because it's not meant to be that way. Can we just take a moment to realize Hope is a kid still who goes to the Salvatore school with other kids? Meaning they aren't going to be as badass or have as much drama and action as they did in the other two shows.
However, Hope is powerful!!! Vampire, werewolf, and witch... but we don't see all sides to it but I hope it comes out soon. We have to see that since vampires, werewolves, and witches exist, there will be other supernatural beings which is what this show is about. I personally like this because it's different and new, not just based on the consistent drama between families and friends, but a new problem in every episode which is interesting to me because I get bored easily.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP TREATING THIS LIKE THEY WANT IT TO BE THE SAME AS TVD AND TO. It's not... I won't say I like this better than the other two because TO has my heart, but this show isn't bad at all. They're kids fighting monsters... it's interesting to see how they overcome it using powers.
