The Originals

Much like the Vampire Diaries, I thought that the Originals was going to be a show aimed at tweens. I was so wrong! It is a great supernatural show for people of all ages. I didn't start watching these two shows until earlier this year but I'm so glad I gave them a chance after reading so much about them. This is easily one of the best spinoffs I've ever seen. The Mikaelson family are never boring, every season was almost equally as good as the others. Klaus is one of the best characters in either show and the show is worth watching just for him. I highly recommend this show if you like shows about supernatural or vampires/werewolves. It doesn't get much better than this.

I have been a TVD fan since day 1. However,watching The Original's first episode has made me doubt whether it would be good or not as I thought the story would just rely on it's mother show TVD. However, watching a few more episodes, it is getting better and better and it has actually put me off watching TVD as TVD has got nothing on this show. I have just realized that I have been watching TVD because of the amazing "Originals". The main purpose of 'The Originals' is to show viewers that it is based on family and that is the most important thing. Unlike TVD that is based on sickening stupid never ending romance between the Salvatore brothers, Silus, Petrova Doppelgangers, Elena etc. I'm so fed up of it. Hence why I advice you to give TO a shot guys, this show is amazing.

I truly cant describe thoroughly enough how much I love this show. This to me is the show of shows. The vampire diaries is a close second but for the older fans this show is the one. So many memorable characters, so many favorites. Makes me cry to think it's over.

This series has gone far too good beyond its expectations in just two- three episodes, the way its story has picked up speed and the environment they are creating is awesome. Klaus' character as usual is classic and its fun to watch him argue with his brother Elijah and sister Rebekah. Talking about The Vampire Diaries, that show is different in its own way, but there is no way TVD should be compared to The Originals as its story has completely moved in another direction. The acting of all characters is awesome and story is mind-blowing. The flashback story they are gonna show seems to be quite fun as it is related to original vampires. Even in The Vampire Diaries I was a bit biased towards original vampires and waited for their part to come (not only me, happened with many people). So all in all its good they separated out original vampires' story from TVD.

The Originals (along with The Vampire Diaries) surprised me as much as any show I've ever seen. It surpassed every expectations I had for this series. I just finished binging the entire series on Netflix recently and that's not an easy thing to do considering it has 92 episodes but it was so good that I just couldn't stop watching it. I watched a minimum of 3 to 4 episodes a day, even more on the weekend. Now that I finished it I can say without a doubt that it is totally worth the time and effort. I'll actually probably watch it all the way through again in the future because of how much I liked it. This is not your average vampire show. The dynamic between the family, especially Klaus and Elijah, is what makes this show so special. The Michaelsons make a lot of enemies on their time on Earth but always find away to get over their family problems to come out on top. This is a must watch for any fan of Supernatural shows.
