The Originals : Season 1

Plastic fangs and muscle men come together in the very well-received spin-off of teen drama ”The Vampire Diaries”.

Simmering with supernatural elements and featuring familiar and fan-favourite characters from its immensely popular predecessor, ”The Originals” centres on the original vampire family and the precarious vampire/werewolf hybrid, Klaus, who returns to the enchanted melting pot that is the French Quarter of New Orleans – a town he helped build centuries ago.

The terrific cast – who all have such great chemistry – includes Aussie actors Claire Holt and Phoebe Tonkin.

A series about the bond of kinfolk and impassioned power struggles–with a large quantity of vampiric hedonism mixed in, ”The Originals” should appeal to both fans and non-fans of ”The Vampire Diaries”.

Blu-ray : Excellent audio/video presentation here; among the oodles of extras, including the Comic-Con and Paley Fest panels, commentary on the pilot, gag reel, featurettes, and several featurettes. Good reason to buy here.
