This supernatural drama, based on the series of novels by L.J. Smith, details the lives of two brothers, Damon and Stefan Salvatore, who have been living as vampires for centuries. After years of moving from from place-to-place to hide their eternal youth (and bloodthirsty condition), the brothers return to the small Virginia town, Mystic Falls, where their lives as humans ended. Damon is snarky, handsome and charming, with a propensity for evil, while Stefan tries to remain noble -- in part to atone for bad behavior in his past.

The Vampire Diaries season finales are always some of its best hours...And the season 7 finale was no exception. Go to Full Review Keri Blakinger New York Daily News 11/16/2017
The Jo and Alaric plot isn't going well either. Go to Full Review Tara Sonin New York Magazine/Vulture 11/16/2017

Well, we made it through our first Elena-less season! Between the heretics, the flash forwards (and backwards) and my constant pining over Steroline, I think we had more than enough to distract us from her absence. Go to Full Review Mandy Treccia TV Source Magazine 01/18/2019
The Vampire Diaries kicked off its seventh season with one of their best season premieres ever. Go to Full Review Brittany Volk Tampa Bay Times 08/31/2018
TVD is still crushing it. Amid all the blood, man meat, romance and spells, the teens grow up and sometimes go to school while the adults are always useless. It's the guiltiest of all TV pleasures and serves up many satisfying binge sessions. Go to Full Review Andy Swift TV Line 11/16/2017

Leonora B @Cellestia Feb 1 After Nina left it just wasn’t the same anymore. See more Faiz D @RT95588871 May 14 Still a guilty pleasure. See more Maylis D @RT49642924 May 13 Vampire diaries is an american supernatural series created by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec in 2009. In my opinion, Vampire diaries is a captivating series with strong acting, especially from Ian Somerhalder and Nina Dobrev. I think What I liked the most is how the show balances intense emotions and action scenes The plot is full of twists and keeps hooked every episode. It can get repetitive but the characters are emotional and the series has a dark captivating supernatural atmosphere. See more Rowan C @RowanC3 10/08/2024 This season introduced the phoenix stone which was a stone that sent vampires to their own personal hell. The buildup to the Huntress was insane giving us future events that took place 3 years after Damon laid to rest with Elena. The Heretics were insanely powerful and even they were afraid of the Huntress. This season was not bad, but it definitely wasn't my favorite. See more Armondo F @RT30018664 07/31/2024 When Nina left the show ended and season 7 is just so confusing. See more Liz D @RT80148632 11/15/2023 Don't try to bring dead people back to life. It never goes well. See more Read all reviews
