I watched VD but as soon as the Originals came out I jumped ship. Vampire Diaries was a little too teen drama for me the Originals was more mature. I was very skeptical about Legacies and it until it came on Netflix I had no intention of watching it; however, I binged it in 2 days. Great show, love the character development and it is actually somewhere between VD and the Originals in that it can appeal to an older audience as well as a younger audience. I think it's a solid show.
