Now, if you've perhaps already delved into the world of mystical drama in The Vampire Diaries, then the show's spin-off is definitely worth looking into. The Originals focuses on the family of the world's first vampires as Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan) returns to his former home of New Orleans, Louisiana to find that he and his family no longer hold reign in their city as they once did. The Originals takes on a grittier theme than The Vampire Diaries, often exploring paranormal elements in a manner that will surely keep you on the edge of your seat.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine.
