I had about six episodes from season 1 on the DVR and all of the episodes of season 2, which I just watched. I had already seen the ones from season 1 last spring. I was cleaning the apartment while these were on.
I never watch this network, and really can't stand shows with actors in their thirties pretending to be teenagers, but I LOVE THIS SHOW. I'm not obsessed with vampires like the rest of the country is - although I did read the Twilight Saga before the movies came out. I just really like the modern day story reverting back to 1865 or so. That is something I like in any series or movie. The writing and storyline are both pretty good, and the actors are not toooo good looking. I wouldn't call it Sci-Fi either. This all works for me.
I just have two disappointments for season 2 which is they are not filming outdoors as much and not using their cast to it's full potential. The outdoor filming gave it an edge other shows don't have. Also, this season they are working on a storyline which focuses on a few specific characters, where last season the full cast would be in almost every episode. I like that better.
But if you like shows with no sex, that are sort of fast paced, and pretty interesting in "folklore", not to mention Ian Sommerhalder, this is for you.
