Usually I a not a big "spin-off" fan...in the case of the Originals I am OBSESSED! Word of advise, you can watch from season 1 and pick up the pieces, but you really should watch TVD (you can start at 3 if you want) to get the full back story of the original family! Julie Plec is a goddess she's so amazing at creating and writing these characters and the chemistry of the cast is just unbelievable! I have convinced a lot of friends to watch and not one of them didn't also get hooked!

This is probably one of the best spin off series of an original that we have seen. It may even be better than the Orginal....you see what I did there. Seriously though, it's intense, the music is great, picks up right where Vampire Diaries stopped with them, and just like the Vampire Diaries, you really feel for characters that in most cases would be villains. Klaus especially.

Fan of the Vampire Diaries and wasn't sure how I'd like this "spin-off" series. I enjoyed it a lot. Very rich, detailed and imaginative storyline - great entertainment. Purchased the Blu-ray / DVD Combo because it was only a few dollars more - very good quality picture and sound and nicely packaged.
