Critics Reviews

David Hinckley New York Daily News Nina Dobrev's departure from "The Vampire Diaries" couldn't have been more perfectly played if the entire cast had held hands and jumped into a bottomless pool of teenage melodrama. Nov 16, 2017 Full Review LaToya Ferguson Us Weekly It really felt like it wasn't enough time to bid farewell to such a beloved character. Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Sarah Elizabeth Tooker Wall Street Journal I hate to say that my bet from the beginning was right, but it looks like Damon will remain a vampire while Elena is officially gone from The Vampire Diaries forever. But, I'll give it to the writers - it was a classy exit. Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Dana Cuadrado The Young Folks I like that Elena gets why Damon hid the cure from her. I think Elena a few season ago would have made a big deal about, which showed some character growth. Rated: 6/10 Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Amber Dowling IGN Movies Knowing Nina Dobrev was exiting the series in the Season 6 finale quelled what would have been an otherwise suspenseful exit, but the writers did her character justice with a slew of heartbreaking goodbyes and a homage or two to the past. Rated: 8/10 Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Caroline Preece Den of Geek The sixth season has been seen by many as a return to form, clawing its way back from a dodgy fourth and fifth season and doing so with a renewed energy and focus on character over convoluted plot and needless romantic strife.
