The Originals: Season 2 Blu-ray
Synopsis:
As Original vampire-werewolf hybrid Klaus Mikaelson returned to the vibrant, supernaturally charged city of New Orleans in season one, he was stunned to learn — along with his siblings Elijah and Rebekah — that Hayley, a werewolf, was pregnant with his child, and his vampire protégé, Marcel, whom the Original siblings had thought long dead, was ruling the French Quarter. Soon, a bloody war escalated between vampires and witches — the stakes raised by powerful teenage witch Davina and by Klaus’s bond with Cami, a student with a painful past — and a ruthless pack of wolves seized the opportunity to stage a violent coup. Now, in season two, a new status quo must be adjusted to, as the newly empowered werewolves control the city. Klaus struggles with weaknesses as Elijah desperately tries to save Hayley — now a hybrid — from a vicious spiral of self-destruction. Meanwhile, with the re-emergence of several Mikaelsons, “family is power” takes on new meaning.
Review:
The first season of The Originals centered on the rise of the witches in New Orleans. This season, Klaus’ baby is central – keeping the baby hidden and safe. Meanwhile, the witches are still at war with the vampires. And because of the baby, there is an uneasy alliance between the werewolves and vampires. Some of the missing (and dead) Mikaelsons come back in some form or another, but Klaus doesn’t trust any of them.
The Originals just keeps proving that it’s one of the best shows on television. And this second season heats up with new characters, more backstory for the Mikaelsons, and familiar characters in other bodies… My only complaint was that I was ready for the real Rebecca to come back (Original form). She’s a great actress and character; and other actors just can’t pull it off as well. Just like no one else could play Klaus. He is easily one of the most complex characters on the small screen.
This show is full of suspense, horror, romance, magic, and clever twists. The writers for this show never disappoint. And I can’t wait for the next exciting season.
