Vampire Diaries on the CW

Yummy, another vampire thriller I can sink my teeth into. If you follow my blogs religiously (all 2 of you) then you know two things:

1) I don't usually critique TV shows

2) I hate the Twilight series (and all the teeny-boppers frown: hmf!)

But tonight, I watched a refreshing CW show called the Vampire Diaries. And though so far the vampire recipe is similar, I liked the characters. I guess with the overload of vampire movies and shows, I feel overwhelmed in even giving any of them a chance. I usually give them a taste and then move on, but this one was different: clean and with teenagers who actually act like teenagers. Teenage series never convince me I'm watching teens, they always seem way toomature-- and by that I mean knowing more serious than real kids actually do. I don't need the drama of another show anyway, I want pure entertainment with good plot and nicely developed characters (is that too much to ask), and this one seems fitting so far.

I'm hoping this is the end of my quest to find a vampire show that doesn't suck. ;)
