Critic Reviews for The Vampire Diaries Season 8
All Critics (16) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (0)
Through ups and downs, deaths and undeaths, The Vampire Diaries kept it wild, interesting and mostly fun.
Either way, it's the happy ending they've always wanted. Excuse us, we'll be over in the corner, sobbing.
Julie Plec promised an "emotional experience" in "The Vampire Diaries" series finale, and that's exactly what we got.
The Vampire Diaries is and always was far better than it needed to be.
No I didn't cry as I wrote that. (Yes I did.)
This season really put the idea of redemption into focus, and it served the narrative to perfection.
Episodes which have featured the return of deceased characters have been pretty dull, but there was just something about this particular episode that got everything so right.
The Vampire Diaries premiered for the eighth and final time. Written by the show's creators, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, the episode delivered nostalgia, horror, romance, friendship, brotherly love, and new mysteries.
With series finales, TV shows are asked to do something they have never done before: properly end the story. The results are often, -forgive the pun - middling. The Vampire Diaries managed to beat the odds by following a few simple rules.
This wasn't a finale that took huge risks; rather, it was one that tried to sincerely give something back to its fans. Thanks, TVD. It's been epic.
The way people talk about Buffy today is how they're going to talk about TVD in years to come. It's not over. It's eternal.
For all the fanfare surrounding the return of Nina Dobrev for this finale, it always had to be them seeing the show off.

Dec 28, 2020Love me some vampire 🧛♀️ Diaries ... so sad it was the la at season !
-
Dec 03, 20208 seasons in and this show still manages to hold its own - even with leading lady Nina Dobrev out the picture. The final season is emotional, action packed and doesn't fail to keep the audience captivated. I am sad for it to go, but all good things must come to an end.
-
Aug 29, 2020I love this show, but so sad that is had to end. And I just wish that Stefan lived longer as a human and to be with Caroline longer.
-
Aug 24, 2020its one of those shows, where the antagonist really aggrivates you. i am usually fine with the evil side. but this siren lass is a piss take. this show really has gone downhill
-
Aug 15, 2020! WOW ! good season i love it ! i hope you guys enjoy this serie/movie
-
Jul 31, 2020An ok final season that struggles to stick the landing.
-
May 20, 2020While the storyline lacks the same tightness and cohesion as previous seasons, the unexpected, gutwrenching deaths leave you paralyzed and remind you of how emotionally attached you are to the show. I thought the ending was bizarre but overall provided a satisfying end to a consuming series.
-
May 08, 2020Great show, starts slow in the first season but picks up quick!
-
May 04, 2020The Vampire Diaries finally comes to a close with enough emotional power to leave fans satisfied. The whole season was a riveting piece of television, from the sirens to the long awaited ending.
-
Feb 25, 2020The series started to go downhill with season seven and this just continued the downhill role. Of course after watching all the other seasons you have to watch this one it's a conclusion we have to find out what's going to happen, it produces the writers the creators all know this and they can put whatever they wanted into this program and know that it would still sell. Unfortunately they forgot what made the series great in the first place. Very poor and in very poor season disappointed
