Episode #1 “Pilot” Plot: In the series opener, Virginia high-schooler Elena(Nina Dobrev) falls for a new student(Paul Wesley), who is actually a centuries-old vampire struggling to live peacefully among humans.

The show has a running time of 60 minutes, plus you have a lot of commercials so the actual show doesn’t even last that long. So obviously this review isn’t going to be as long as a full length movie review. I know a lot of you aren’t interested in the show because the plot is very similar to Twilights plot. But Vampire Diaries isn’t as near as elementary as Twilight. Tonight’s show had a body count of three, teen drinking, some drug use and I believe one character said the word Ass(so bad LOL) So please don’t write out the show just because you thinks it’s going to be to much like Twilight. I was pleasantly surprised by tonight’s episode. The acting was pretty good by the lead character, the effects in a fight scene looked good, and most importantly, it was entertaining. And that’s pretty much the reason why we watch movies and T.V. shows. So it did it’s job.
