It's like Twilight, only on television - and shittier!

I guess it was bound to happen: Twilight has become such a glacial phenomenon that we're going to have seductive vampire characters and scenarios on TV and in movies in far greater quantities than ever. I mean, True Blood doesn't quite count - it's legitimately good - but The Vampire Diaries' silliness is evident enough that even girls with 'Edward 4-Ever' tattoos on their shoulders would admit to its lunacy. Seriously - if you were forced to see Eclipse or Werewolf or whatever the crap that latest movie was called and you said out loud, "I can't imagine anything worse than this," I have bad, baaaad news for you: Vampire Diaries, dude. Vampire Diaries.

The show's first season revolves around two brothers, one who's a good vampire (Paul Wesley) and one who's a bad one (Ian Somerhalder). Once good brother moves to a new town, he gets caught up in all the drama that the young women in said village are going through, and when bad vampire bro shows up to shake things up, smalltown life gets real weird real fast.

The Vampire Diaries: The Complete First Season is not good, folks - it's a shell of a show. If you took all the elements that kinda work in the Twilight saga and eliminate them from the mix, you get the overall feel and quality of The Vampire Diaries. It means to be a Supernatural-meets-One Tree Hill approach to the current hipster prestige of a vampire tale, but it's really just same old same old crappy teevee, only with more fangs and fake blood.
