The Secret Circle (The CW)
What It's About: Based on the novels by L.J. Smith who also wrote The Vampire Diaries, The Secret Circle follows teenager Cassie, who loses her mother in a fire forcing her to move to live with her grandmother in a different town. A group of her classmates take an interest in her, and Cassie soon learns that it is because she is a witch and the final one that they needed to complete their "secret circle."
The Good: Kevin Williamson is behind this show, and given how addicting and dramatic he has made The Vampire Diaries, this show has the potential to do just that as well.
The Bad: Unlike Vampire Diaries, there is a lot more teen drama in this show, which could get annoying and redundant at times. The cast, while decent is also not as good as Vampire Diaries either.
My Thoughts: Like Vampire Diaries, this show starts off a bit slow, but hopefully when given time to develop, it will become just as good as its companion. I like Britt Robertson from Life Unexpected and Gale Harold who was most recently seen in Hellcats, so I think I am willing to give this show a chance although I am getting a bit tired of watching the same old teen drama happening over and over again on TV shows.
When It's On: Thursdays at 9/8c.
