About
You’ll likely enjoy The Vampire Diaries if you want a dark, emotional supernatural romance with intense brother-versus-brother tension in Mystic Falls; Not for you if you dislike long-running love-triangle drama or repetitive arguments, like in Teen Wolf or Supernatural.
Pros: addictive supernatural drama; compelling love tension; strong character chemistry | Cons: love triangle fatigue; melodrama complaints; inconsistent plot
