5. The Originals
The Originals is a spin-off series of The Vampire Diaries and focuses on the Mikaelson family, the first vampires that existed.
They live as an influential family in the French Quarter of New Orleans. In addition to friends, they also have numerous enemies who want to see the downfall of the Mikaelsons. Intrigues, family secrets, and conflicts are the order of the day.
The series also represents the main series The Vampire Diaries and the spin-off Legacies in this list, which also perform well on IMDb.
This is what IMDb ratings say: With 8.3 stars from 145,467 user ratings on IMDb, The Originals scores very well.
Fans of the series particularly enjoy the interesting characters and their exciting dynamics. Central to the story are siblings Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah Mikaelson, who frequently clash due to their differing values and characteristics – which can also lead to violence.
But at the end of the day, they always come together again as they must stand united as a family to confront their adversaries.
Fun Fact: Klaus Mikaelson, the protagonist of The Originals, was introduced as an antagonist in The Vampire Diaries . Initially, he was supposed to be killed off. However, due to the popularity of his character among fans, this decision was reversed. Additionally, Klaus received his own spin-off series (via IMDb).
