Review | Vampire Diaries Season 1

Hit American TV show The Vampire Diaries went off with a bang in 2009 when it first aired on our televisions, from the first episode I was hooked.

The show follows the life of Elena Gilbert, when she meets heartthrobs Stefan and Damon Salvatore who are the new boys in the town of Mystic Falls.

The series follows them as they all get to grips with the fact that there are vampires in town and also follows the love story of Stefan and Elena further on into the series.

I was hooked from the first episode as I have a real interest in vampires, it was a slow starting episode but it got better as it went on.

My favourite character in The Vampire Diaries is Damon Salvatore; he has mysterious eyes which make you love him and he is always cracking jokes which make him even more loveable.

Every episode he is doing something that makes me love him more, be this by cracking jokes or his sarcasm.

Season 1 was great as it started to slowly introduce us to the protagonist, Elena and all of the people around her. We find out from the start that her parents died in a car crash when Elena was younger. This really made us feel sorry for her and may be one of the reasons we carry on watching to find out how her and her brother Jeremy cope.

I would watch it religiously every Friday online after it had been aired in the US as I couldn’t bear to wait until a Tuesday to watch it in the UK. I have watched every season since and haven’t missed a single episode.

I would give this television series 5/5 stars at brings together a romantic love story and blood and vampires, making it an all round loveable programme to watch.

Season 2 and 3 are ones to watch as they delve more into the love story of Stefan and Elena and won’t fail to make you smile. Don’t miss them on ITV 2!
