The Vampire Diaries is a suspenseful and addictive TV series. It has many unexpected turns and always keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat. However one downfall of this series is that the actors playing high school students look more like college students and the idea of someone over 100 years of age having a relationship with a 17 year old girl does not sit quite right. The Vampire Diaries is packed with a large amount of violent deaths as well as history that you may find difficult to get your head around. I would suggest this TV series to those who enjoy watching the vampire genre, love triangles and the main character struggling to choose between the good guy and the bad guy.
