    So much better than I expected!
    I thought The Vampire Diaries was going to be a show aimed for tweens but I was wrong. It started off that way for the first half of Season 1 but around episode 10 or 11 it really picked up and got better and better. I was ready to give up a few episodes in because it looked like the tv version of Twilight buy I read to get passed the first handful of episodes and I'm so glad I did. It turns into a really good supernatural show and has a great rating for a reason! If you like supernatural type shows then I highly recommend this for you, just get passed the first half of Season1.
