Alice Amell Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 A really good (imo) TV show is The Originals. It is about the original vampires and them getting caught up in events in New Orleans. Different factions fight each other for control of the city. I think it has really interesting characters. The show delves into psychology and understands how parents can mess up their kids. I found that really cool so thought I'd mention the show here. Season 1 is on netflix if anyone is interested. 1
DaVinci Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Vampires, huh. I generally stay away from anything with vampires in it. What sets this vampire story apart from every other one? Just that it is set in New Orleans?

MarcAnthony Posted November 29, 2014 Posted November 29, 2014 My wife is in love with these modern fad vampires. I have nothing against vampires, only that I think they aren't treated interestingly and that most of the shows are pop rehashings of primetime soap operas with a sexy monster make over. The Originals is a Vampire Diaries spin off and in my taste has about as much substance as steak flavored bubble gum. All I witnessed was a series of "dramatic" confrontations between characters that reeked of pretension. It wishes it was Anne Rice but comes off like Days of Our Lives with fangs. But my wife digs it, though she did seem to understand what I meant when I pointed out the lackluster writing/production.
