I am a "Bite Bit" freak (that's what I call anything related to Vampires). I loved Vampire Diaries (which was strange since I pretty much despised anything aired on the CW/WB network (WAY too much teen angst). VD lost me when Elena's storyline turned (I will not elaborate in case there is anyone here who intends to watch it, but those who have know what I mean).

I have been a huge fan of Julian McMahon since he first arrived in the US and appeared on "Another World"....however try as I may, I could not stand watching Doherty and I found Alyssa Milano annoying.
There’s a ton about the show that I hate - it’s a literal soap opera with super natural elements, but there’s some things about it that are just too good. The bond and love/hate between Stefan and Damon is great. Enzo is a good character, Klaus and Elijah are great. Stefan flipping his switch now and then is fun. Caroline really improves as the show goes on. Elena becomes one of the worst characters, IMO, and the villains got weaker and less compelling as the show went on. Katherine and then Klaus and then Silas were pretty solid. The Travelers and The Sirens kinda sucked.
Somerholder has been good in almost everything I've seen him in....and he definitely doesn't disappoint -- he takes the sarcastic villain to new heights. The "originals" actually breathed life back into the show. Katherine also began to annoy me. Loved the witches though.
I still think it was more on the "teen angst" level than "soap opera" (I actually liked soaps).
It’s definitely not short on teen angst (or people in their late 20’s to early 30’s playing teenagers) but it’s filmed so much like a soap with the intense lingering close ups (often on Damon and Enzo’s absurd facial expressions) and the super dramatic lines. “I’m not losing you again!” “Bonnie is my best friend, Damon!”
But it’s also super fun when you get over it and just enjoy the ride. Hello brother.
I also swear by Paul and Ian’s whiskey right now. Best value for your dollar by a long shot, IMO. I’m honestly stunned at how good of a bourbon they produced.

Finished watching Welcome to Chippendales. Wew good show. Felt the finale was a bit rushed, but still pretty good.
FOr the life of me, I can't recall who Enzo was. I do agree with your "soapy" assessments though.
Edit -- OK -- I looked him up.....didn't know him....the incident that stopped me watching occurred in the 4th season.
Enzo’s was Damon’s bff when they were prisoners together, then he’s like an friend/enemy for a few seasons and then he’s Bonnie’s true love.

Never got that far....Enzo hadn't appeared when I stopped. Happy to hear Bonnie finally got a life.
He definitely looks like he could give Damon a run for his money.

Ahhh..good stuff....I have been waiting to watch a few new episodes of it . I enjoyed it from the very first show they made . Storming here today so it might be a good afternoon for it .
I think this is the best role Renner has had. I can't imagine anyone else in it.

Indeed....that would be unfortunate (but typical).

Oh WOW......just finding this out ! I wonder if they have the whole season already filmed . I watched the first 2 episodes of Season 2 last night......I have a funny feeling that Russian fellow is going to make life miserable for the coroner who already is overworked by the prison rioting . It is a great show.
Has anyone watched Your Honor? I can't recall if it's been discussed.
Do you mean Milo? I am definitely wondering what the hell he's up to.

Did they make a season 2 ? I am not sure I can handle a season 2 which was just OK ......
If you're referring to Your Honor, season 2 just started....saw the first two episodes -- I have to say I'm not happy with the direction I believe they're going in. Was surprised to see they added Rosie Perez to the cast.

no more striptease no more flashes
One thing I haven't seen discussed about that movie is how if this child doll was an actual thing, exactly how many would be purchased to be "friends" with a certain subset of the adult population rather than children. That would 100% be a thing.
