wow now I have a new set of reactors reacting to one of the greatest shows of all time? my patreon budget keeps going up every month 😭👏

I am 68 years old, and this is not a teen drama, this show is for everyone.

They didn’t notice Katherine and Elena look the same lol

There is no way anyone can only watch one episode a week of TVD. Let’s get real! 😆

this is a huge surprise but so welcomed omg

You’re going to fall in love with this show the more you watch. The writing/directing grows and gets so much better as you watch along.

"we should watch the 100" YES, do THAT please

i hope yall do 2 episodes a week this is one of THE best and most re-watchable supernatural shows ever made.

Vampire Diaries is my number one favorite tv series. y' all are going to enjoy the show

I don’t think I have ever seen Blake so talkative and enjoying a show so much 🤣 This is definitely a teen DRAMA, the first 4 seasons are probably the best before it gets ehhh but I’ve watched the whole thing through atleast 5 times and am excited to do it again with you guys so please continue this! 😭

I will never shut up about TVD having THE best soundtrack ever, it's so good.

2 episodes a week, bring it.

A couple non spoiler information for you guys, that you asked in the end there. First, the vampires here still have their human eye colors, Damon's eyes are just insanely bright like that naturally LOL. The fog and crow were just pilot things, when you shoot a pilot to greenlight a show, you add things you think will work, but sometimes they greenlight it and ask to take away a few things. It was supposed to be significant, but it isn't, doesn't exist anymore after the pilot. And the rest you will figure out with time, but Damon did say that Elena is a copy of Katherine. In the picture you can see they look exactly alike (i mean it is the same actress for the picture of Katherine). So you will understand the significance later lol

Keep watching guys!!! There’s a reason it went for 8 seasons. The characters get so much greater and later seasons bring even more great character additions!

The soundtrack for this show is pretty amazing.

The fact that they already find Damon amusing is telling 😂😂😂😂

i forgot how different the show was in these early episodes, definitely trying to emulate that twilight feel but it finds its own footing quickly

You guys reacting to The Vampire Diaries is exactly what I didn't know I needed but... YESSSSSS! 🧛

First Reel-Time ( 3 guys ) now you three. I'm soooo excited you are reacting to TVD. Buckle up. Your in for a heck of a ride.

I’m seeing a lot people just starting to react to The Vampire Diaries like it just came out lol 😂. Everyone is starting to realize this cash cow and its massive audience but guess what, I’m all here for it! Hope you guys put out the content fast though

Can I just say, I really love that you guys LIKE all the comments people leave on your videos. It reminds me of the old days of YT (yep, I'm old) when channels used to leave every subscriber a thank you message for subbing.

Blake: she’s staring at the cementary because her parents are in it. Igli-you’re not the only one with dead parents. Like really? Why you yall say it like that? 😂 I have to deal with enough unhinged comments during this show from Reel-Time, now you three. 😂

THIS SHOW IS SO GOOOOOOD!!!! dude I fuuuucking loved this show as a teen it was my whole life. The spin-off is even better!!

Yes, 8 years for Vampire Diaries, 4 years of The Originals, then 3 or 4 years of Legacies. It's an interesting ride. Have fun!

I’m so glad you guys are watching this and actually giving it a genuine chance rather than just making fun of it the whole time like I’ve seen other reactors do. Looking forward to more episodes!

Did not expect this at all but I'm so here for it!!! This is an awesome show. I can't wait for you guys to see more of Damon, he's a menace but he's honestly the goat and he grows on you later on in the seasons. And yeah, vampires have to be invited into the house. There's gonna be a lot of interesting lore regarding them that comes up in the next few episodes. I'm glad to see Blake enjoying it 😆

Oh it’s my bedtime but u bet I’m staying up to see this reaction 😂

a couple of reaction channels are watching TVD nowadays and im so here for it 😍

Please post these Vampire Diaries reactions regularly. Guaranteed thousands of subscribers and patreon members if you do!

Forgot how cringe the first episode is but it gets really good. Hope it does well on your channel! Fun facts: The show is based on a book series by L. J. Smith. It premiered in 2009 and ended in 2017 after 8 seasons. It has had two spin-off shows: The Originals and Legacies (haven't watched Legacies but The Originals is SO good). Creators Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec were also writers/producers for the most of the Scream movies. Ashlee Simpson was the CW network's first choice for Elena, while Zach Roerig (Matt), Michael Trevino (Tyler) and Paul Wesley (Stefan) originally auditioned for Damon. Nina Dobrev (Elena) and Paul Wesley have both admitted that they didn't like each other for the first few months of filming. They later became good friends (and still are). The pilot was filmed in Vancouver but the rest of the series was filmed in Covington, Georgia. Also, you don't seem to have noticed Katherine looks IDENTICAL to Elena (it's the same actress), hence Damon's "dead ringer for Katherine" comment. Nina Dobrev is Bulgarian/Canadian and her full name is Nina Kamenova Dobreva. She was in Degrassi: The Next Generation and has been in movies such as Too Young To Marry, The Poet, Fugitive Pieces, The American Mall, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Let's Be Cops, The Final Girls, Flatliners, XXX: Return of Xander Cage, Dog Days and Love Hard. She and Ian Somerhalder (Damon) were in a relationship for a few years during the show. She is now in a relationship with snowboarder/skateboarder and Olympic Gold medallist Shaun White and co-owns a wine brand with her friend, dancer/actress Julianne Hough. Paul Welsey is of Polish descent and his full name is Paweł Tomasz Wasilewski. His first role was on the soap opera Guiding Light where he starred alongside Brittany Snow (from Pitch Perfect, John Tucker Must Die, Prom Night). He's had recurring/guest roles in 24, Smallville, The O.C., Everwood, American Dreams, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Law & Order: SVU, Cold Case and Army Wives. He starred in the miniseries The Fallen as well as the shows Tell Me a Story & Flowers in the Attic: The Origin and movies such as Killer Movie (a comedy horror/slasher movie where he met and starred with his ex-wife Torrey DeVitto), Elsewhere, Before I Dissappear, The Late Bloomer and Mothers & Daughters. He currently stars in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Ian Somerhalder had guest starred in TV shows like CSI and Law & Order when he got his first regular role on LOST. He is married to Nikki Reed who played Rosalie Cullen in Twilight. Since 2020, he and Paul have owned the whiskey brand Brother's Bond Bourbon. Steven R. McQueen (Jeremy) also starred in Everwood and later, Chicago Fire. He is the grandson and namesake of legendary actor Steve McQueen who was popular in the 1950s to 70s. He is also cousin to Enrique Iglesias and Julio Iglesias Jr. Interestingly he is one year older than Nina who plays his older sister. Kat Graham (Bonnie) is a singer as well as an actress and has appeared in several music videos. She also had minor roles in The Parent Trap and 17 Again, along with playing Jada Pinkett Smith in a Tupac biopic called All Eyez on Me. Candice Accola (Caroline) is also a singer and toured as a backing vocalist for Miley Cyrus in 2007/2008 and appeared in her 3D concert movie. From 2014-2022 she was married to musician Joe King from the band The Fray who sing the song at the end! Zach Roerig (Matt) had a few recurring roles on soaps like As The World Turns and One Life to Live. He and Candice also dated for a year during the show. Kayla Ewell (Vicki) has starred in movies such as Just My Luck with Lindsay Lohan and Material Girls with Hilary & Haylie Duff. She has appeared in various TV shows such as Freaks and Geeks, The O.C., Roswell, New Mexico and The Bold and the Beautiful. Her husband, Tanner Novlan, is currently starring in the last one. Michael Trevino (Tyler) has also starred in Roswell, New Mexico along with Summerland, 90210, The Riches and Cane. Sara Canning (Aunt Jenna) is only one and two years older than Nina and Steven who play her niece and nephew.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THEY ARE WATCHING THIS. LETSSSSS GOOOO!!!

The vampire diaries has a huge fan following so you'll definitely have consistent viewers, we LOVE this show and will watch every reaction !

I will support this until the end, it was a very good surprise!

Just saw a notification for it 6 days late haha. Here for the ride

I would never have expected you guys to react to Vampire Diaries. I mean, its cool - I was def a fan of this show back in the day - but would never have expected it to even be on one of your polls. You must have a big female audience! It is a good show - especially the first few seasons... super solid! Gets a little off later on but worth it if you're a completionist.

yess, this show just has that vibe,mystery and drama plus music in earlier seasons just adds to that charm of show, pls continue w reactions😂🙏🏻

I really hope this gets enough engagement for you guys to do 2 episodes a week! I loved the show when I watched it but now I like to watch other people react to it for the first time. (Since I can’t rewatch it for the first time again and I loved it so much!) 🖤

After 6 episodes your hooked!!

Oh wooow quite a few reactors have been doing TVD. Soooo glad you guys hopped on this 😩😩. Team Bonnie

Vampires are portrayed with slightly different powers depending on the show/movie but generally vampires have super speed, strength, smell, hearing and sight and will die or burn in sunlight and have to be invited in to any home if it is occupied by a living person, they can go in vacant houses, etc and the older the vampire the stronger the powers

okay NOW THIS IS GOING TO BE SOOOO FUN TO WATCH

The actress that plays Caroline was married to Joe King from The Fray for 8 years.

Heres hoping this goes well and theyll love TVD so much that when its the right times theyll react to both of its spin-off's.

OMG I religiously watched this show every week. This is peak fiction 🔥✨️

I'm stoked for this! Season 2 is really when it starts to get good, for me. If you make it deep into this show, you'll have to watch the spin-off show too, called The Originals. The backdoor pilot is towards the end of season 4 of TVD, so after that would be a good time to start The Originals. It's absolutely awesome too.

The Fray Never Say Never lol. Was such a banger when it first came out. The songs in this show are so good.

"we should watch the 100" - yes omg yes please do that

“What’s his name, Troy?” 😂😂 forgetting Tyler’s name is so real. He’s absolutely forgettable.

I watch a few of these reaction vids…This series is so awesome. It has so many literary and cultural references throughout…it’s so well written. Damon especially has some the greatest lines. Music is perfect throughout too. They showed you the photo of Katherine already.

Did they notice that its zach who actually calls stephan « uncle Stephan » ?

Blake, Corey, and Igli please continue to bring the Vampire ( supernatural ) content to the channel by reacting to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" ( 1997 - 2003 ), it's spin-off "Angel" ( 1999 - 2004 ), "Interview With the Vampire" the film ( 1994 ) & the series ( 2022 - 2024 ), the entire "Twilight" Saga ( 5 films - 2008 - 2015 ), and of course the two TVD spin-off's when it is time.

i'm so happy there are so many reaction channels watching tvd recently, i love this show so much and it was a big part of my childhood/teenage years - and it does genuinely have some very good plotlines and characters! ❤ i hope you enjoy it ALSO while we're in the vampire hype train i'd highly recommend yall start watching "interview with the vampire" (the tv show)! 🧛‍♂🧛‍♂ season 1 came out in 2022 and season 2 is currently airing weekly, it's genuinely one of the BEST shows out there right now! so so good

I absolutely loved this show - all 8 seasons - some better than others but all great. Like all pilots, this was basically character set up and it takes a few eps to really ramp up but well worth the wait. Damon was always my favourite character. Everyone is well cast and does a great job with their own characters.

Blake looks like he belongs in a CW show himself 🥲

Its my favorite show! I watched the whole series about 4 times 😂 I can’t believe there are people who haven’t seem it yet. But so happy to see people finding the show and liking it.

Just discovered this channel because of this video. I love finding new creators reacting to TVD! Excited to see more!

yeah i think yall should watch the 100 💯 love the show

This is a must watch and definitely more then once a week if possible 🙏

This show is such a guilty pleasure 😂

Never clicked so FASTTT!!!! Love this show so much!! ❤️ Im so excited for you guys to get into the TVD 🤗

I never knew I needed this until I saw it from YOU GUYS!

This show was a ratings giant for the CW and has millions and millions of fans of all ages. So why would you be so shot that this was the number one show in your poll

Oh yesssss please finish this show it’s literally the best

Love the ending of you guys wondering what's coming & trying to figure it out just from the pilot hehehe 😂😉 let's goooooo!

this show is my absolute favorite. i really hope you guys continue it !!!

this show is a grower for sure. the characters get more developed and so does the writting.

It's one of my favourite shows!❤

Hah Vampire Diaries will do well. I have zero doubts about that. Just liked and subscribed to help the algorithm 👍🔥

I’m a fan of the two episodes per video! That works for the other reactors I watch.

Better get comfy in those chairs. I’ll tell you now, you’re gonna be here for all 8 seasons & probably the Originals too. Prepare for the long haul.

you all are in for a wild ride. Love this show

I LOVE this show. And I like your reactions so far. I’ll keep up. And yeah, Matt’s eyes are SO blue. Did you guys not realize that the picture of Katherine was the exact same actress as Elena?

Here for this love this show along with Supernatural 🤍⚡️

Enjoy guys! Fantastic show TVD! Great song track the whole way through...

TVD definitely has a great soundtrack!

I subscribed just so I could watch these TVD reactions. PLEASE do more of them like 2 or 3 times a week. 🤞🙏

Even though I already watched this on Patreon lol I’m going to at least still like the video for you guys just to continue to support you ❤ Love My Raggedy Pack 💚

So excited to see you guys doing TVD yeeeessss 😂😂 get ready for the roller-coaster ride!!! Lol.

I'm definitely glad ya'll are watching TVD. I'm actually rewatching season 1 right now on Peacock also It's a very good show. As always I enjoy having ya'll on my TV screen. Always & Forever TVD

I wish I could like this video twice !!♥️ This show gets really good with LOTS of twist and turns and plot lines

I hope y’all do reaction vids to each episode! Will be watching each one 😊

excited to watch these reactions! love the TVD universe and i guarantee the fans are also💕

Welp, you recognized the Placebo track (Running Up That Hill) so I subscribed 🤷😂 (Literally flew across the ocean to see them in concert in 2013 cuz they're my spouse's favourite band 😅) This show is amazing, I hope you'll fall madly in love with it. It has its issues, of course, and it's definitely a product of its era, but unlike a lot of long running shows, it never gets boring and the spin offs are phenomenal as well ❤ Thanks for the content! 🙏 This was a great first reaction! 🥰

2 episodes per week!!! Let's go1!! 💙

Oh, yes! LOVED this show. Wasn't too sure about it after the first episode, but quickly got hooked after that.

Really hope y’all keep going with this show and maybe the spin-offs😊 loved the reaction

Subscribed!!! I've never seen your channel before, but I'm here now... ready to ride The Vampire Diaries rollercoaster 🥰

OMG this is so exciting!!!!

OMG TVD LETS GOOOOO

Take this all the way guys. I am totally with you on this one. 🤩

Y’all are in for a treat! Definitely one of the better vampire themed shows!

This vid showed up on my front page and I had to watch. New subscriber so I can watch TVD content!

Did y’all not notice the old photo that Stefan looked at? It had the name Katherine underneath it and she looked eerily similar to Elena. Anyways, hope yall continue to watch the show! I didn’t watch it til I binged during season 8. I think I caught up right before or after the last episode.

Ok here we go!!! Get strapped in for a wild ride

Their eyes only change when they're in vamp mode. Ian Somerhalder - Damon is known for his striking blue eyes.

The best show in the world yall have to pay attention 💯💯thanks

Yes, the 100 is pretty good. I also like how you guys didn't see the resemblance with Elana and Katherine lol. They're Alot more characters to see.

Vampire Diaries is my number one favorite tv serie
