I tell people this all the time...it either works for you or it doesn't. Taste is bewildering. It's like food in a way...my Grandmother hates lemons, I like them. There's people who love brussel sprouts apparently...and others who loathe them. We just have different mental taste buds. ;-)
For me? I find TVD like cotton candy. It's just fun. I can't say I'm in love with it. Don't feel a need to write in-depth meta. But I do enjoy making fun of it. And it has a wicked sense of humor - I like snark and Williamson is rather snarky at times. (It should be noted that I liked the Scream films a lot and enjoyed Dawson's Creek...there was a sort of underlying snarkiness that I appreciated.)
But, there are shows my flist loves that I just don't like. And it admittedly took me a while to enjoy Doctor Who. (I prefer Moffat to RT Davies...for some reason, I'm guessing the dry wit.)
