I remember liking Vampire Diaries at on point, but then I grew tired of the show. It is a popular show, so you should probably give it a try.

Why is The Vampire Diaries recommended?

Both Vampire Diaries and True Blood are based on books. Both shows also have vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural beings.

Vampire Diary is not as good as True Blood. And it's more of a teen show than True Blood.

Is Lost Girl good?

This is a really cool series if you are into this kind of stuff.

Absolutely worth watching.

Why is Lost Girl recommended?

Lost Girl focuses more on a single main character than True Blood does. But just like True Blood, it's a supernatural show aimed more for an older audience.

Lost Girl is not as good as True Blood, but it's definitely worth watching if you like True Blood.

The Original is a spin-off where we follow the original vampire family from The Vampire Diaries. They are known as the first vampires and the ancestor of all existing vampires.

Is The Originals good?

I find this spin-off to actually be better than the original series. The reason for this is probably that it is not as teen-focused as the Vampire Diary.

Why is The Originals recommended?

The Originals might be a spinoff from Vampire Diaries, but it targets a slightly older audience. You do not need to watch Vampire Diaries first.

If you want another supernatural show like True Blood then you should give The Originals a try.

I like it. I think it is better than similar shows like Vampires Diary. If you like other teen paranormal shows then you will most likely like this one too.

Why is Teen Wolf recommended?

Teen Wolf is more of a teen supernatural show. It's not as good as True Blood, especially if you don't like teen shows. But if you're OK with teen shows then Teen Wolf is worth checking out.
