Achilles100: Coincidence I guess. It has happened before. In 2016, a documentary named OJ: Made in America, dropped in January of that year, and received instant critical acclaim. A month later, FX debuted their newest anthology show, The People vs OJ, a dramatization of the story the earlier documentary has already told, and received more acclaim than the docu. Stuffs like this tend to happen from time to time. They might look like conspiracies at first, but are just the manifestations of near identical ideas getting promoted/advanced by completely two different sources and airing at near identical dates. |

Achilles100: Finally! I think Smurf is behind Baz getting shot. Don't f**k with that mean old woman. Can't wait for The Man in the High Castle. My interest is highly piqued. John Smith is my favorite. Does that make me a Nazi?? *ponders* |

With people comparing The Originals with True bloods should simply go and watch porn. Without the sex scenes, there's nothing spectacular about the film. The Originals isn't in sane league with them 1 Like |

alex81: The Originals is made for specifically young adults demographic (teens), so kiddo, I won't judge you or even question your childish taste in tv series, but please, I take god beg you, stay away from my mentions. It's highly embarrassing when secondary students quote me just to talk rubbish. 4 Likes |

koice: I haven't watched any vampire genre in series apart from TVD and Originals. From from extensive googling of sites that rated various vampire series, one was consistent all through - Buffy The Vampire Slayer topped all their lists. True Blood and TVD was usually in top 5 but on some, TVD was around 6th or 7th while True Blood was consistently in top 5. Also in some top 5 where both TVD and True Blood were in it, TVD topped True Blood in some, while True Blood returned the favour in some. I guess it boils down to personal choices, but from observation, I'll say True Blood edges TVD but wins Originals hands down. One of these days, I'll check out True Blood, although the general consensus was that the show tanked when Alan Ball left the show. Which is not surprising because TVD too tanked towards the last 3 seasons especially when Damon started dating Elena and the producers knew and ended it. That's one thing about most series, at a point they get boring. |

Beorn:I wasn't even aware of those websites you mentioned, but it's gratifying that the best minds at this specific genre shared similar sentiments. Buffy is the 'originals' of the vampire genre, the pioneer, the one others try to imitate and surpass. The gold standard only few has come very close to touching over the years... the one that invented the infamous vampires/werewolves rivalry. Buffy is always gonna top that list until another show completely reinvent the genre. The Strain tried and failed. Penny Dreadful tried and also failed. True Blood tried to put a mature spin on Buffy and had some degree of success. The Vampire Dairies straightup tried to ride on Buffy's mantle but shot itself in the foot later, and never recovered. The spinoff, The Originals is just a bad Angel ripoff (Angel is Buffy' spinoff btw), and arguably the worst vampire show I have ever watched. The acting on that show is terrible. I tried watching it once and couldn't even make it more than 5 mins. All these shows pale in comparison to Buffy for the same reasons Black Mirror will always be 2nd best to Twilight Zone: the first of it's genre and thus the gold standard. Beorn:True Blood set out to tell a story, and it did for the most part. It took a detour here and there but made it back to it's true path in the end. It's a solid enough supernatural themed (vampire, werewolves, etc) show. 1 Like |

koice:I'll have to contradict you on Penny dreadful being an example of a show that tried and failed to toe the line of 'Buffy' a pioneer show by all standards, in the sense that I don't think that was an objective in the first place. Penny dreadful was more or less a convergence of sorts of historical supernatural elements/figures, (Dracula inclusive), with more focus on supernatural philosophy and religiosity than actual vampirism which is only one of the many sides and aspects to the show. Although the Vampire tag is obviously applicable to penny dreadful, I think grading as an actual Vampire show as against other vampire shows with main focus on vampires, werewolf rivalry and everything in between is wrong. Both Penny dreadful and the strain have distinct feels separate from Buffy. But with the strain tilting more towards the the buffy set up, penny dreadful is in a whole other class. 1 Like |

Kaziar: This is why people need to pay more attention... - First, I never said that Penny Dreadful & The Strain tried to emulate Buffy at all. I said, they tried to 'reinvent' the genre (supernatural), ie, they tried to do something completely different from the mainstream, and... failed, if we were to take anything from their abrupt conclusions. - 2ndly, Penny Dreadful belongs to the 'supernatural' genre same as Buffy . Supernatural genre is a broad term that covers not only vampires but all kinds of mythical elements, thus, dragons, witches, fairies and gods are allowed... which bring us to... - 3rdly, it's a mistake thinking Penny Dreadful is unique from the rest of the genre because of it's less focus on vamparism and more focus on the fringe elements of the supernatural by the importation of Dracula and the Frankenstein monster among others. Nope. See, Buffy did that already, it had demons, half demons, witches, Undeads, demigods, ghosts, monsters, robots, gods, spirits, etc. Vampires and werewolves were only just a small part of it. Thus, Penny Dreadful owes it's uniquemess to it's presentation not application. In application, it's a lot like Buffy and the rest, but in presentation, it's remarkably different. - 4thly, none of the shows I mentioned in a previous post were strictly about vampires, thus it would be wrong to classify them as 'vampire shows'. They are more accurately tagged 'supernatural shows' for the fact that anything goes. It's not all about vampires and werewolves, often times, witches and gods are thrown into the mix too. |
