The Vampire Diaries was not just a TV show: it was a cultural moment in teen dramas. Elena, Damon, Stefan, and the rest of the Mystic Falls gang shook up the fantasy genre with its advent and achieved the rare feat of lasting eight whole seasons. It is nearly impossible to objectively assess the best and not-so-great parts of the series because every viewer loved different characters and romances in the show.
