Yeah I can relate why.
Originals first 3 seasons are great till the last episode when Marcel becomes the GOAT.
Problem starts from season 4, now Klaus+Elijah started to treat Marcel as their equal because now he was like them, infact more powerful, so the plot has nothing left in it and looks stretched, they introduce some stupid Ghost that is the villian for the last 2 seasons, total nonsense, I myself fast forwarded and watched these 2 seasons because they made no sense at all.
To summarize the Originals, it is a show which lack emotional connect (no real romance with subtlety), Klaus and Elijah are killing people/vampires/witches/wolves for no reason at all, at times it looks annoying and stupid on how the treat people like playthings, the ghost angle was nonsense, the whole plot of they sacrificing everything for Klaus's daughter itself is stupid, why should a small girl be so important over everyone else's lives? Then that last season had Elijah roaming around without his memory, that too was damn stupid, all in all except Marcel they have shown all of the originals as psychos and trashy characters.
I watched the first 3 seasons because I liked the Strix-Lucien-Aurora angle, I liked the character of Dahlia and Mikael, and of course Klaus Elijah are favourties along with Kol and Rebekkah, good to see them back after they left TVD.
Marcel I did not like at all in the beginning, looks trashy, but the character proves to be very solid, he grows in character and eventually becomes the most solid character as well as most powerful in the show, plus like he says in the beginning of season when he spares Klaus and Elijah ..... "You people never considered me family, I could easily kill you, thats what you would have done if in my place, but then I am proud to say that despite being raised by you guys I am nothing like you, so go and know that I am showng mercy on you ..."
..... Solid scene, I liked that, after that the whole show was Trash, last 2 seasons were trash
TVD was also trash after season 4, last 4 seasons were mostly nonsense ....
