I use to watch Buffy every week when I was younger and I was addicted to it. The characters were cool, the bad guys were scary and the stories were mostly captivating. The first season can be a rough start for new comers as the budget is noticably cheaper with the fighting and special effects looking pretty cheesy. Also the overall plot is pretty simplistic and all gets wrapped up a bit quick within the 13 episodes. Season 2 it really takes off with the introduction of Spike and Angelus and the budget increases. It still feels cheesy at times but it's a noticable improvement over season 1. Season 3 is more of the same but introduces a darker plot, some of the best writing of the whole series and more deep and meaningful outcomes for characters - it's also the set up for the spin off series, Angel, plus the end of an era as it moves away from the high-school setting. Season 4 is my least favorite but I did like the main bad guy, Adam, a Frankenstein-like creation made up of various different demons and mechanical enhancements. Technically, he was probably the strongest bad guy of the series because Buffy could barely hurt him! Season 5 introduces a new character, Dawn, and I really did not like the story surrounding her as it was just a cheap way to add fresh blood to the cast and Dawn is just annoying. Even though Dawn i disliked and her character was central to the season, there were some great episodes and the main bad guy was once again very unique being an immortal goddess half the time and a mortal male doctor the other half... Season 6 is a very emotional season and the cast gave great performances with dark storyline. This season was also unique in that Buffy didn't save the day... Season 7 is a culmination of all the previous seasons and to be honest, it was probably as good as you could hope for in a final series of a TV show. They made a couple interesting story choices I didn't enjoy but ultimately it all came together well and there was a glorious end battle.
