I might give this show 2 star because I appreciate the cast.
I could not make it past the first season because I read a lot of these stories in my teenage days and therefore I was able to predict that Elena and Stefan are not going to be the end game and I low key also predict it was going to be Damon all along 😭.
Also I am so done with these American tv series.... The moment you root for a couple they breakup over a matter that could have been resolved by talking and understanding. And it is with every single relationships in every American (or modern) tv series teenage or not. It's like , "you are not a layered character if you are loyal" or "You are leading a boring life if you are not cheating." 😖
Also for some reason I was not blown away by the plot twist.... Not because I predicted them but because I didn't simply care. In the first season itself I found the story was all over the place and there was no progression or a direction.
