It's probably pretty different to watch it all really fast. I probably watched almost a season a week (of what was on Netflix). I had to dl a several of them to catch up to what was on the CW app, and I've sped through most of S5 too.
I thought Damon was completely ridiculous in the beginning (glad they dispensed with that silly fog thing, though they made a nod to the crow thing later). Like I found his FACE ridiculous. But I was in board with Damon and Elena by the time they hooked up. I thought the way that relationship grew was really genuine. But now the drama seems pasteded on.
And yeah even watching it fast I've seen the quality go downhill. I genuinely loved it in the beginning. I loved the long game they played with plotlines and stuff. But it got over complicated and deaths didn't mean anything and it's a little too fractured now.
