Boy oh boy... I LOVE this show! At the time of writing this, this is my third time watching the series. I don't know what it is about this show that grips me so much but I love it.
Season 1 was a great season, it was iconic, it had literally everything a Teen Drama needs. It has the action, the romance and need I say... VAMPIRES?!?!?! Anything with Vampires in it is an instant win for me, this show just seems to do Vampires better than any other show.
With Season 1 we're introduced to both of the Salvatore brothers: Damon & Stefan Salvatore. We're also introduced to the beautiful Elena Gilbert. I've always been a massive fan of team Delena so rewatching the show and ever so slowly seeing their romance blossom is always great. I love how from the very first episode you're basically forced to pick a side... Team Damon or Team Stefan, even though Damon is so blatant with his wickedness I much prefer him over Stefan, Damon seems more honest whereas Stefan just seems like this fake good boy that in reality is twice as bad as Damon.
One of my favourite things about this season is how it slowly opens up different story arcs that I never saw coming. For Instance the Tyler Lockwood being a Werewolf story arc or Caroline becoming a Vampire. I cant wait to see how they follow through with these stories in later seasons.
This season is one of my favourite opening seasons for any TV Show, I don't know what made it so great in my eyes but I love it. It never grows old no matter how many times I watch it and I'm always excited for the next episode/season. I loved the writing for this season, the characters & how it opened so many doors for the next season. I really can't wait to see what happens next. (Even though I've watched season 2 several times!!)
