The story of Klaus and his Original Vampire family continues in New Orleans after leaving Mystic Falls of The Vampire Diaries to pursue his destiny as leader.
If you grew up with Anne Rice, considered Twilight to be a mockery of the genre and The Vampire Diaries and True Blood only a slight improvement, then The Originals ticks all the genre's requirements.
Constructed as a spin off of The Vampire Diaries, The Originals existed for the simple fact that the maniac Klaus was saved from sure death (as per the books) by the popularity of the TV version of the character masterly played by Joseph Morgan.
More mature than TVD, bloodier and a bigger generator of contradictory feelings when you get a main character - already declared a bad guy - which is capable of poetry-worthy human feelings, The Originals manages to be heartbreaking literally and figuratively.
With two perfect initial seasons, it is still worth watching until its end (another 3 seasons) even just to find out the fate of some of the more interesting characters.
