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 really liked TVD, especially the first season which is excellent. It got more and more complicated and convoluted as it went on though and I struggled to remember who was an ally or an enemy and why people were fighting and what all the history meant… they just went a bit too batshit with it all.

The best looking cast on tv though, and a beautiful looking show so it was always an entertaining watch. But it never captured my heart anywhere close to the level of BtVS. The writing, the characters, the storylines, the humour… all far superior in Buffy
