Though i got to know about this series very late but i finished all the 8 seasons in like 2 and half months. When i watched "Pilot" season 1, epi 1 of TVD, i was so impressed and got engrossed, addicted and completely in love with each n every character of the series. This show is fantastic, awesome, classic, larger than life, too good and more importantly teaches you about your life's true meaning in terms of your family, friends, your loved ones, your love life, your decision, your heartbreaks and what not, This show has it all. The each and every character of the show is so well written and you can relate with them easily. I love each and every actor of this show specially Ian somerhalder, Paul wesley and Nina dobrev , the three major and central characters of the show. I highly recommend this show to each n everyone who believes in living life in a way you want to live it, no matter what you goes through in your journey, this show teaches you a lot. You will laugh with this show, cry with this show, smile with this show,you get emotional watching this show, i have done it all. After watching this show, i started watching "The Originals" too which is a spin off of this show. For me, 'THE VAMPIRE DIARIES" is my most favourite and the best show ever. If you really love watching supernatural shows with thrilling experiences of life, you must go for it , this will be a treat for you. Trust me this show is totally addictive. All i can say is "THE VAMPIRE DIARIES" is a hell of a ride which you can't afford to miss.... i miss you TVD. <3
