Welcome back to Humor Nation. When the TVD spin-off ‘The Originals’ was announced, some fans had their doubts as if this show could be on par with the Vampire Diaries. Originals not only exceeded the expectations of the fans, but it turned out to be better than the Vampire Diaries. The show proved to be superior to the Vampire Diaries because of its mature storylines and a departure from teen drama and romantic entanglements, placing emphasis on the themes of family bonds. While the characters in the Vampire Diaries were either good or bad, but the Originals characters were covered in the layers of shades of Grey. Their motivations changed from time to time dictating their morality. While the Originals missed at certain points such as lack of diversity when it comes to the villains as TVD featured villains of all kind, ranging from the Original Vampires to a Siren whereas Originals mostly featured witches and vampires as antagonists. Originals also lacked female leads such as Elena, Bonnie where TVD edges its spin-off.

Klaus and Elijah are distanced and spent most of the time at being odds against each other. Klaus and Elijah shared the most important bond, the very foundation of the Originals which was absent in Season 5 for most of the part. Hayley who has gone through immense character development over the course of four seasons died in an outrageous manner. While Klaroline shippers got their moment in the sun, but Haylijah fans witnessed the worst ending for their favorite pair.
