Though it may seem like interest in supernatural dramas is dying down, The CW is hoping to keep loyal viewers attached to the world of vampires with its latest premiere, “The Originals.” Viewers first got a look into the world of the original vampire family with a backdoor pilot in the last season of “The Vampire Diaries.

When “The Vampire Diaries” premiered last fall, I just thought it was another show capitalizing on the “Twilight” craze. I was wrong. “The Vampire Diaries” is back and is great.
