**MY THOUGHTS ON THE ORIGINALS:**

_**-WARNING: Spoilers Below-**_

What an absolutely brilliant and beautiful journey this was. From start to finish I was in love and absolutely adored every single character and every plot point. Looking back I honestly don't think there's a single character that I disliked to the point where they were engraved in my mind. Every character played their role and had importance, even if I wasn't the biggest fan of them.

Like most fans I watched The Originals because of The Vampire Diaries. I held The Vampire Diaries in quite high regards so having a spin off being made was not only great but it was also scary because I was worried whether it would live up to The Vampire Diaries or not. Surprisingly... It did, in fact it surpassed the expectations and became a completely separate identity from it and became it's own show. The characters were loved for who they are and the show became it's own masterpiece and I will always be in awe at how they managed to pull this off.

When it comes to the characters I will always hold them very close to my heart. Klaus, Elijah and Rebekah in particular. Elijah and Rebekah are two of my favourite characters in literally any TV Show and I will 100% name my children after them both. No characters in any show have had the impact or influence over me like they have and I will always remember them.

The only downfall was the ending, was it a bad ending? No. Was it a gut wrenching, heart breaking, soul destroying ending? Yes. I am so upset Klaus and Elijah passed but my god it was done so beautifully. I really hope they're in a happy place together, with their most important thing... Family.

Overall I will **ALWAYS** love this show. I'll hold it extremely close to my heart and I will ALWAYS recommend it to people.

**_Always and Forever..._**

**Overall rating: 10/10**
