VAMPIRE DIARIES: THE ULTIMATE ADDICTION!


 
 
Vampire Diaries series is the ultimate addiction. It's almost impossible for a person to stop watching once he/she has grabbed the essence of it and surprisingly, one episode is all that it takes. Irrespective of exams on head, assignments to submit, girls in the hostel sit glued to their laptop watching one episode after the other till their eyes can't take it anymore.

When end semester exams were on our held, most of us felt helpless owing to our addiction. Three seasons had been released till then. Two of them with 22 episodes each and it was impossible to stop watching them. On the good side, it offers a total escape to a different world which is something all hostel residing students need once in a while but on the bad side, it's a big distraction. The bad side of the story doesn't end there. The series is infused with killing, deaths and dark sides with hearts shown been ripped apart. Unsurprisingly, there's a group of girls that freak out so much they are afraid to get out of their room after dark. It affects health also. How many episodes can one watch without straining their eyes and enduring headache? Well, we all know the good and the bad sides but it's still our number one TV show series.

Talking to all the Vampire Diaries fans around me, here are some reasons they pointed out that makes it a big hit.
It's like a fast paced roller coaster ride. No one likes monotony but the fast pace in which the events take place on this series leaves a person wishing there was some constancy so that the mind could take a break. There are murders, affairs, deceit, strong bonds and there are new faces showing up after every few episodes. One of the fans, Priyanka, comments, "There is absolutely nothing predictable about vampire diaries. That's why I love it. It's like a whole new world."
The characters make your heart skip a beat. One of the best parts about the series is that every character has a personality that is in synchrony with his actions. No villain is purely a sinner. No good character is shown all saintly. It's wonderful how it has depicted the perfect balance between the dark side and the good side of a person to give a complete picture of his/her character. The ultimately charming Salvatore brothers and the hot villain Klaus, what else does one need to stay spellbound to it. It's superstitious yet seems rational. Nothing about the plot of the series is even a bit close to reality. Yet somehow, when you watch it, it becomes your reality. The way superstitious amalgamates with reality is simply wonderful and the credit goes to the way it's been depicted. Fast yet flawless.

"I can't stop watching because when I close one episode, I can't stop thinking what will happen in the next one. It always ends with a breath-stopping suspense. It starts with a bang, ends with a louder bang", says another fan.

It has amazing soundtracks. No feeling can be conveyed in proper way without the perfect lyrics and melody. Vampire Diaries has it all. You fall in love with the tracks because they are played at such a perfect timing and match extremely well.
"Family is all we need" Out of all the emotions that the series convey, the strongest is the feeling that there's nothing like family. Superbly put it leaves the viewer thinking we all come back home, to where we belong and feeling blessed to have a family that protects from everything ominous.
