Season one was ok. Season two was watchable if one had nothing else to do. By season three it's a time-wasting borefest. And I mean boring with capitals. B-O-R-I-N-G! They certainly don't make vampires the way they used to. Fearsome creatures stalking the night have had their fangs extracted and been reformed of their evil ways.

Add to which, right from the beginning there is no chemistry between the romantic pairing and everything seems to move as if through a bog - a very boring bog.

In my opinion, Matthew Goode (never seen him before and if I have, he is completely forgettable) is miscast; his acting is flat and almost comical in his 'rage' moments with Teresa Palmer as dull as dishwater and the kind of strong Mary Sue character that really begins to grate on one's nerves.

Congratulations to the diversity department though.
