The               town               of               Mystic               Falls               has               a               past               with               vampires               and               with               the               return               of               the               Salvatore               brothers               things               again               get               complicated.

The               Vampire               Diaries               series               is               based               on               the               book               series               by               L.J.

Smith               and               shows               a               different               look               at               vampires               as               hidden               members               of               our               society.
               Elena               and               later               her               brother               Jeremy               find               out               that               their               town               has               more               than               just               a               couple               of               vampires               and               a               council               that               tries               to               protect               the               town.

Stefan               and               Damon               were               first               turned               into               vampires               by               Katherine               years               ago               and               have               recently               returned               to               their               home               town               to               find               things               have               not               changed               all               that               much               for               them.
               Elena               meets               Stefan               and               falls               for               him               but               his               little               secret               of               being               an               immortal               vampire               gets               in               the               way               of               their               relationship.

When               Elena               finds               out               she               freaks,               as               you               would               expect,               but               things               settle               down               and               the               series               starts               to               really               get               going               after               a               few               episodes.
               Damon               acts               sometimes               acts               like               a               jerk               and               jumps               between               being               a               total               jerk               and               being               an               almost               nice               guy               on               the               side               of               his               brother.

His               brother               Stefan               is               the               center               of               attention               for               the               series               but               also               switches               back               to               drinking               human               blood               which               turns               him               more               animalistic               and               kind               of               a               jerk.
               Elena               is               the               shows               spotlight               and               at               first               loves               Stefan               as               a               teenage               crush               until               she               finds               out               who,               or               what,               he               really               is               but               even               then               he               is               likable.

Damon               also               turns               toward               a               more               likable               character               and               the               whole               series               revolves               around               the               three,               how               they               became               vampires               and               their               past               catching               up               with               them.
               Damon               and               Stefan               Salvatore               were               turned               into               vampires               by               the               same               woman,               Katherine               back               in               the               late               1800's               and               fell               in               love               with               her               in               the               own               ways.

When               she               betrayed               both               of               them               and               left,               or               as               they               think               she               is               imprisoned               in               a               tomb,               they               are               both               still               having               feelings               for               her.
               The               first               part               of               the               series               has               Damon               trying               to               free               Katherine               from               this               tomb               were               25               other               vampires               are               also               captive.

They               were               imprisoned               by               the               towns               people               of               Mystic               Falls               to               get               rid               of               them               but               they               are               alive,               just               starved               to               emaciation.
               Once               the               vampires               are               released               they               take               up               residence               in               the               towns               country               side               under               the               watchful               eye               of               an               old               vampire               Pearl               played               by               Kelly               Hu.

Bonnie,               a               friend               of               Elena               and               a               witch               through               family               lines               released               the               vampires               because               she               thought               she               was               releasing               Katherine               and               helping               the               brothers.
               Things               really               take               a               turn               when               the               town               council               discovers               not               only               a               few               of               the               vampires               but               the               additional               twenty               odd               that               have               suddenly               been               unleashed               on               Mystic               Falls.

They               plan               a               little               raid               right               during               the               towns               founders               day               celebration               using               a               device               Bonnie's               ancestors               created.
               When               some               of               the               town's               vampires               are               captured               and               killed               others               are               revealed               and               the               shows               stars               are               of               course               saved               but               things               get               even               more               twisted               right               at               the               end.

Be               sure               that               I               will               not               ruin               the               ending               as               the               show               really               is               worth               watching               once               you               get               past               probably               the               first               three               episodes.
               By               the               first               disc               you               get               to               understand               even               Damon's               odd               behavior               when               his               kind               have               been               persecuted               and               hunted               year               after               year               and               the               emotional               toll               this               could               have.

The               Vampire               Diaries               really               does               take               a               different               look               at               the               currently               overused               genre               and               gives               something               fresh               and               new               that               certainly               rises               to               its               own               level               beside               others               like               Twilight.
               The               Vampire               Diaries               is               well               worth               a               look               and               the               Blu-ray               release               is               by               far               the               best               way               to               check               it               out               with               its               better               video               and               audio.

Video               is               pretty               good               and               clear               but               darks               are               a               bit               all               over               the               place,               but               not               because               much               of               the               film               is               shot               at               night.
               During               the               bonus               content               you               get               an               idea               of               why               the               series               is               filmed               in               both               day               and               night,               they               spot               lighted               actors               and               left               set               and               backdrop               dark.

This               intentional               lighting               causes               some               badly               lit               objects               blending               with               the               black               backgrounds               for               an               odd               effect.
               Colors               and               skin               tone               are               also               not               as               good               as               you               could               hope               for               so               video               does               suffer               some               from               problematic               technical               difficulties               but               the               series               is               decent               enough               to               enjoy.

The               audio               is               just               as               good               with               well               done               but               also               problematic               Dolby               Digital               5.1               sound               track               instead               of               a               master               Dolby               track               which               would               have               been               lossless               in               quality.
               The               sound               works               well               with               clear               voice               and               good               surround               with               well               done               pans               and               such               but               during               intense               action               you               do               hear               the               lack               of               good               overall               sound               both               from               the               effects               and               the               music.

Audio               is               good               but               could               have               been               much               better               even               if               they               had               to               add               another               disc               to               fit               everything               in.
               Bonus               content               includes               audio               commentary               of               the               first               episode,               making               of               features               and               plenty               of               talk               from               cast               and               crew               about               the               filming.

There               is               also               an               audio               book,               The               Awakening,               the               first               Vampire               Diaries               book               by               L.J.

Smith               on               the               fourth               disc.
               The               bonus               content               is               fairly               good               but               overall               not               as               good               as               it               could               be               but               good               enough               for               the               effort,               it's               really               a               shame               they               do               not               work               harder               during               shows               to               add               more               bonus               content.

You               can               see               why               movies               add               a               lot               but               with               the               cast               and               crew               always               shooting               for               months               at               a               time               you               would               think               they               could               add               hours               of               extra               stuff               like               gag               reels               and               more.
               The               Vampire               Diaries               is               a               pretty               decent               enough               series               for               their               first               season               and               well               worth               at               least               a               look,               with               the               show               being               on               television               you               can               check               out               a               few               episodes               and               decide               for               yourself               if               a               purchase               is               worthwhile.

The               Vampire               Diaries:               The               Complete               First               Season               was               well               worth               the               effort               and               the               show               does               have               promise               to               be               an               entertaining               one               in               the               future               if               they               keep               up               the               good               story.
