Kevin WilliamsonThe Vampire Diaries: Season 5 (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD)

Loved this series. It was high quality for a horror movie. Great story line with engaging characters. Quality acting.

I watched this when I first came out and it was great, then lately I thought you know what I'm going to watch it again and I did IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT LOVE THIS SHOW! Now one to rewatch the Originals!

I love the whole series and the humor and craziness of it, all actors are pretty great at their jobs. It is a bit over the top with repetition. Those dead vamps just keep coming back but I like the series.

My fav

I remember watching Dark Shadows when I was 12 and in my early teens and loving it. Dark Shadows was campy with a low budget but had the witches, werewolves, vampires, etc. In so many ways this show is similar. Production in The Vampire Diaries (TVD) is of higher quality and there is sex, making it different from Dark Shadows (DS). Both have the required supernatural show bar the Blue Whale and the Mystic Grill. DS had gypsies, TVD has travellers. DS had time travel to the past, TVD has flashbacks to the past. Both have the main actors playing the roles of different characters. Both have the possibility of a supposed cure for vampirism and doctors who experiment on vampires. While Quentin Collins on DS was a werewolf and Damon Salvatore is a vampire, their facial expressions, use of penetrating eyes, drinking and personality are the same. DS is definitely the grandfather of shows like TVD and even Forever Knight. TVD has a younger better looking cast of vampires and werewolves, with the exception of David Selby. In DS Maggie looked like Jossette and in TVD Elena looks like Katherine. The Salvatores and the Collins are both town founding families. TVD is a much better show, but it would not exist if DS and Barnabas Collins had not come first. All that said, I love the daylight rings, the rings that let people who die by supernatural means return, the doppelganger concept, and all the inventiveness of the show. While I love the Sookie Stackhouse books I detest True Blood and think it is overrated. TVD is so much better than True Blood. My favorite vampire show of all time.

I have to say vampire diaries is very fun to watch. Damon is my favorite on that show. Stephan his brother is kind of boring. Elaina is very beautiful much preitter then the girl from twilite. I also like Cathrine she only thinks of her self but fun to watch. I also like the originals they make the show more exciting. Caroline also adds much to the show. I hope she ends up with Claus. I love the relationship between Caroline and Claus. I hope this show comes back for a sixth season. I'm glad there out of high school because they looked way to old to be in high school. I wished the show would move to showtime then they would not have to worry about the sensors. They would have more freedom

It is a good show. I have enjoyed all seasons 1-4. Anyone who liked Twilight will enjoy it. Even if you disliked Twilight, I think you'll like it. It has some of the funniest dry humor,but it does not take away from any of the serious dramatic scenes. The plots and story line seem well thought out. The writing is very good. Just when you think it can't get any better, the do a spinoff called The Original. Did I forget to mention, the characters are easy on the eyes. Try it, I think you'll like and enjoy it.

It was great & I saw all of the episodes on tv before I got the dvd. Thanks Amazon & I appreciate your service.
