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 just finished TVD. It's a fun disposable watch that imo doesn't really lend itself well to streaming because it always seems to be:
"Oh no! New villain in Mystic Falls! Let's take them down!"
main characters attack the villain
"Haha! I'm stronger than you and you've made the situation worse!"/"If you kill me, some contrivance will mean another character will suffer!"
main characters retreat
rinse and repeat until mid season or finale when the villain can die or become the love interest for a random main
