![]() While in some areas this may be a stand out number, for the US-based CW, it wasn't enough, and it didn't look like it wasn't tapping as successfully into the enthusiastic The Vampire Diaries demographic. The audience drop, on the other hand, was a different story, with a strong pilot with 3.05 million viewers falling 31 percent on the second episode, ebbing back and forth to finish the season finale with only 1.28 million viewers. However, those plot changes were very logical for an early '10s adaptation of an '80s novel, and they were positively received by the fans, unlike the changes that Alloy Entertainment - the copyright holders of The Secret Circle novels - applied to the second book trilogy. CW also introduced the villain John Blackwell much earlier in the series than in the books, where he lurks as a sinister, legendary presence for most of the trilogy. Another aspect that CW thankfully eliminated was the relentless slut-shaming of Faye and Melissa, the mean girls of the circle. ![]()
