Vampire Diaries: 1x18 - 1x22 (season finale)

This show:

a. Awesome female characters. A bunch of them. Including good, complex female friendships.

b. Really talented and attractive cast.

c. Stuff happens! All the time. Characters actually talk to each other and tell each other things. It's very refreshing.

d. Does not shy away from the creepy and bloody aspects of the vampire legend.

e. And for people who love shows with intense sibling relationships, this show has two brothers who pretty much take the grand prize.

My current hope is that season two does not disappoint me (the way that S2 of Prison Break did). Fingers crossed.
