このコンテンツについて

TV superfans Sandile and Fadzai talk about their favourite supernatural dramas from the 22-episode era, and the characters that made them so memorable.

Each season focuses on a different show, and each episode on one of the top 22 key characters and their impact on the show. But don't be surprised if you see a handful of scattered extras about aspects of the world itself, or minor characters that were too much fun to leave out.

Join us as we dive into spooky yet familiar worlds, and be wary of dangers around every corner - the last thing you want is to fall victim to an "animal attack".

    S1E22 - Bonnie Bennett
    2025/10/17

    Fadzai and Sandile make magic and mayhem with the wonderful witch of the southeast, Bonnie Bennett.

    One of the main characters of The Vampire Diaries, Bonnie is the best friend of lead character, Elena Gilbert, and a budding witch with ties leading back to Salem and the founding of Mystic Falls. As she discovers more about her powers, and the existence of vampires and the greater supernatural lurking in her town and out in the world, Bonnie is at first hesitant to get involved, given the historical fate of witches in and beyond her family. By the end of the first season, though, she reaches a point of certainty that she wishes to be the town's protector from vampires and the harm they cause to its innocent people.

    Beyond this point, however, Bonnie finds herself constantly having to compromise her principles given her friends' association with vampires - and some of her friends becoming vampires. From a narrative standpoint, this is largely a result of Bonnie's relegation as a character in the story, with focus placed on her usefulness as a witch in solving supernatural problems for the group. With several deaths, depowerings, and damn-near farcical tragedies under her belt, Bonnie's time in the show is mired by trauma and neglect - especially as the one black main character - and she is in retrospect someone in the show, and in the genre, who deserved so much better.


    (This episode focuses on Bonnie in seasons 1 and 2.)

  • S1E21 - Matt Donovan (Part 2)

    S1E21 - Matt Donovan (Part 2)
    2025/09/26

    Sandile and Fadzai cobble together a hero's journey for the final human, Matt Donovan.

    One of the main characters of The Vampire Diaries, Matt is the best friend and ex-boyfriend of lead character, Elena Gilbert, and often paired with Tyler Lockwood or Jeremy Gilbert in the context of the Mystic Falls gang. Being the one who spends the longest unaware of the supernatural, his primary focus is typically his relationships, schooling and sports, and his work at the Mystic Grill to take care of his household - given the Donovan's lesser standing, and his absentee parents. Once he joins the fray, though, he becomes instrumental in supporting his supernatural friends, both physically and emotionally, and in being the one remaining human of the group by the end of the series.


    (This episode focuses on Matt in seasons 5-8.)


    Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of addiction, emotional abuse, emotional or covert incest, mental coercion and manipulation, familial abandonment, familial neglect, poverty (relative), racism, sexual abuse, assault and related victim blaming, slavery, and suicide and suicidal ideation.
