There are so many vampires and undeads and such on television these days that this crew is going to have a hard time getting attention, especially if the show continues to be as much of a grab bag as the pilot episode is.October 03, 2013
[There are] acres of supernatural exposition in this turgid and convoluted pilot.October 03, 2013
It's House of Cards, with a werewolf/vampire hybrid instead of a charming but ruthless Southern senator. Which, in these hyper-partisan times, just might work.October 08, 2013
It's not tough to grasp, but isn't very entertaining.October 03, 2013
One of this fall's least original new series is, ironically, The Originals.October 03, 2013
It's not a bad spin-off so far.October 03, 2013
Even though the story repeats what is already known to Vampire Diaries fans, the suave presence of Elijah and the vicious hotness of Klaus should be plenty to keep the converted around.October 03, 2013
This one... strikes me as what Dallas might have been if J.R. and Bobby had been immortals. And living, of course, in the Big Easy.October 02, 2013
It's as if the characters couldn't find a wooden stake and decided to try to talk each other to death.October 03, 2013
This all feels a bit like a shaggy dog has wandered onto the show to tell a story with as many loops, turns, twists, ironies and details as fans can possibly absorb or tolerate.
