"The Vampire Diaries" is another popular series on the "vampire" theme. Despite the hackneyed plot, the series won recognition not only of the audience, but also of film critics.
The extraordinary life of an ordinary town in the series "The Vampire Diaries"
Residents of a small provincial town live their own lives: they throw parties, send their children to school and try to adhere not only to civil laws, but also to the traditions laid down by the founders of the city. Observance of these traditions is monitored by the Council - the descendants of the first settlers.
Most of the inhabitants of Mystic Falls are unaware of the dire secret kept by the Council.
Main characters and storyline
Elena, a 17-year-old girl who had just lost her parents, was unaware of her either. She spent the whole summer away from her friends and her boyfriend, deeply worrying about the loss and waking up in nightmares. But the time of solitude has come to an end, and she and her brother have to return to school.
The new school year begins with a startling discovery - Elena's best friend turns out to be a real witch. And a new student appears in the class - a mysterious guy in dark glasses.
But the novice does not fall into the category of ordinary students in any way, because he is a vampire.
Stefan Salvator was born into the founding family 162 years ago. Since then, a lot has changed, only his love has remained the same. The situation heats up when another vampire arrives in the town - the sexy and charming Damon Salvator.
Elena has no idea that the brothers' struggle for her favor began many years ago.
Success and awards
The Vampire Diaries series is based on the Lisa Jane Smith novel series. The pilot episode will be released on September 10, 2009. The fate of the season depended on the opinions of critics, who expressed themselves ambiguously. As the plot develops, the show gets much better and gets the right to renew for a second season. Now 5 seasons have been filmed and the 6th seasons are being filmed, which viewers will see in the fall of 2014. Whether the series will be released further depends on the rating.
What determines success? Many factors served this purpose: the fascinating and popular vampire theme; intrigue and difficult plot twists; great actors and charismatic characters; general atmosphere of mysticism and mystery; picturesque landscapes, bright costumes and excursions into the past.
The show has been nominated multiple times for awards and won a total of 14 awards, including Best Actor and Best Actress, as well as the People's Choice Audience Award.
Viewers of the series continue to intensely observe the life of Mystic Falls and its inhabitants, along the way learning new facts about vampires and werewolves, witches and hunters, ancestral curses and family secrets. And several subplots do not allow you to get bored even in ordinary episodes.
