Also, in this show another aspect I
found fascinating was the acting. The
characters in the show made it look like
it was real life they showed very good
emotions and facial expressions. Also, I
say this show is mostly for teens to
watch because in this show it’s about a
girl and her teen life and drama. And
basically all the characters or the main
characters are teen and their life. This
show involves vampires which I think is
interesting it catches your attention
and makes you think about different
things. And sometimes you wonder is
this real or is this fake. In some parts of
this show people can relate to
the problems and situations.
In conclusion, I recommend this show t
o teens and like I said it will make you
want to watch more it will catch your
attention. It will also play with your
emotions and make you scared at times
it’s a good show to watch. It will also
make you think at times and make you
wonder about things. If you like getting
scared and like mysteries, then you will
like this show and just saying
it involves a lot with blood and many
crime scenes and dead bodies and
witch craft.
