Featured review
A top notch drama series even to this day
It's been three years since the controversial finale of the originals was aired.
I always get back to this show (in total I watched 3 times fully from start to end since 2018) and every time I get amazed by how the whole series was executed. (I tend to focus on different details every time I watch it)
Compelling story, especially season one and season two. The other seasons were also good, don't get me wrong, but the first two just stand out.
Marvelous cast that brought their characters to life.
Well written characters, even the secondary ones, with a strong development over the course of the show .
Great setting, not too small, and not too big at the same time, making it barely noticeable that the whole show has 4-5 main locations only.
There is really nothing I could have want more from show that's main purpose was to be a TV drama, from the ones you put on when you are back home after a long working day.
It was nice being so involved with Klaus's journey.
