Now I never watched the Originals or The Vampire Diaries, however through the first four episodes I have been hooked on this and have found it very entertaining. It also has pretty decent special effects.

One interesting note is that I think its episode 3. The town (name escapes me) they are filming in was the one in Georgia that was used in the first season of the Dukes of Hazzard.

The show is very much like a mixture between Harry Potter and an X-Men show/film based at the Xavier School for the Gifted. It even throws out some HP references.

Matt Davis who portrays Alaric Saltzman, The human headmaster of the Salvatore School and the father of Josie and Lizzie has described his role in the series as "somewhere between Professor X and Dumbledore."
