This is a show chiefly about a vegetarian vampire.
Well, we're watching different shows then. I see it as a show about two brothers, one of whom is not vegetarian and one of whom has a history of not being able to control himself when he's not vegetarian, as you put it.
And it's also a show about Katherine, a woman who goes around wrecking as much havoc as any of the men. I doubt we'll see eye to eye on any of this so I don't see a point to this.
if they did handwave everything as 'vampires are violent and dangerous' and kill characters willy nilly with that as their only excuse, that would be very lazy writing
or... consistent with vampire mythology. they haven't willy-nilly killed every character, but being a show about vampires it makes sense vampires (and humans and werewolves) will be in life and death situations. as I implied above, I don't think this show is Twilight. I know the books are different, though from what I've heard not in the direction of nobody gets killed and everyone has self control.
