The town of Mystic Falls, Virginia with its lives, loves dangers, and calamities. As a teenage girl is divided between two vampire brothers, creatures of unfathomable evil lurk underneath this town. Stefan and Damon Salvatore return to their hometown of Mystic Fall, Virginia, after decades of feuding.

The Vampire Diaries aired on the CW, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video for eight seasons and generated two popular series: The Originals and Legacies. The Vampire Diaries was a hit, according to Ian Somerhalder, who recalls the exact moment.

Well, it's obvious for those who think that it is just any supernatural series like any other, but it doesn't feel like that.

It is one of the most amazing series one could ever watch.

I personally like the morals drawn out from it, which are:

Your family has your back

Importance of family love  

And of course friendship forever 

After all, this comprises one famous dialogue which is all the way through TVD and originals.

"Always and Forever"

This dialogue has so much intense meaning and emotion attached to it. TVD fans are known as 'TVD fams.'

Synopsis

The Vampire Diaries is a supernatural horror/drama television series developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec, based on the L. J. The same-named book series by Smith.

Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) is a 17-year-old girl who falls in love with a centuries-old vampire named Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley) and his vampire sibling Damon Salvatore (Ian Somerhalder). Elena and her companions are attracted into the magical world of Mystic Falls, which is teeming with vampires, werewolves, witches, doppelgängers, and Original Vampires. As a result, the Original Vampires/THE Mikaelson Family and Katerina Petrova, as well as Silas and the Travelers, have become adversaries of Elena and her allies. Elena's friends and other residents of the fictional town of Mystic Falls, Virginia are also featured in the series. The show is a blend of teen drama and otherworldly elements.

Season1: This season shows us about the lost girl, who is in desperate need of love and affection as she lost her parents in an accident. That is the moment when she meets Stefan and falls in love with him.

Season2: In this, we get to see Damon being in obsessive love with Katherine and tries to open the tomb to find her but instead other dangerous vampires escape.

Season3: This is where the original vampire appears, The Mikaelsons. Who comes to chase the doppelganger?

Season4: This is the most thrilling season in that they tell us about Katherine and her past life and we get to know that she is a true survivor and is running from love.

Season5: Now here is where they reveal about a past doppelganger Silas while they are in search of the cure to vampirism.

Season6: The dreamiest and thrilling situation happens here, The Prison World, where Kai Parker has been seized. Bennett’s witches’ blood was the key to this world.

Season7: The Heretics from prison world escape with Lilly Salvatore, who is considered the most dangerous siphoners ever. These runs lose in Mystics falls.

Season8: This season had the most hated villains the siphoners. They have the power to control minds and, in the end, the whole hell is unleashed on the earth.

And it is all saved by Bonnie Bennett.

This series is worth the time and the best of all.
