Vampire Shows That Are as Good as ‘The Vampire Diaries’

Vampire Shows That Are as Good as ‘The Vampire Diaries’

Because they frequently represent themes of power and desire, vampires continue to captivate audiences and are frequently featured in the media.  The CW's long-running supernatural romance ‘The Vampire Diaries’ is one of the most adored depictions.  

The show, which was based on L.J. Smith's books, followed Elena Gilbert, a young woman from a small village in Mystic Falls, as she was torn between two vampire brothers.  The series succeeded despite its supernatural components because of creator Kevin Williamson's skill at creating nuanced, likable characters.  Some vampire shows capture the same mix of romance, drama, and supernatural mystery that made it memorable, but few can match its effect.
