'The Originals' season 5: What to expect from the series finale of the vampire saga

Now that its all said and done, the show's idea of a closure is becoming more apparent, especially in terms of the oldest family in the supernatural world - The Mikaelsons
PUBLISHED JUL 27, 2018

After five intense seasons, 'The Vampire Diaries' spin-off, 'The Originals' is finally coming to a closure. This season, so far, has been one of the most intense of all five, not only in terms of the insane story arc but also in the way it has humanized the characters like never before. Now that its all said and done, the show's idea of a closure is becoming more apparent, especially in terms of the oldest family in the supernatural world - The Mikaelsons. It feels like showrunner Julie Plec is making the tale of the cursed family run a full circle, but with a twist. Unlike the cause of their transformation, which was tragic and unfair, she appears to be turning them into people who sacrificed all for the sake of their family.
