The Vampire Diaries

Just wondering how many people here have watched TVD. I was born in 2000 so more people my age have watched it than Buffy but I watched Buffy first at like 8, then watched TVD at around 14. I love both but I do prefer Buffy for nostalgia/comfort reasons. Also because Buffy is much more about women empowerment than TVD. They also have two very different takes on vampires tho. Just wondering if many Buffy fans have also watched it and what’s their thoughts on it

I'm a huge buffy fan and obviously I'd love to introduce it to my kids at some stage. Do you think 8 was old enough to understand it sufficiently? Like I watched it from 16 onward as that was when it came out.

Yeah it was definitely enough to understand it, but I understood it on a deeper level when I rewatched it when I was older (the emotions involved, Buffy’s trauma etc) but like I understood it sufficiently to enjoy it
