Summary.
A great, and ground-breaking show that was funny, action packed and clever. The stand-out characters are Xander and Spike but all the others are pretty great. The show starts slow but starts to find its feet by season three. Always inventive and original, it shifts gear a little in season six and becomes less episodic and more ongoing in its narrative but still throws the one-off fun episode in there though ultimately it gets darker. I love season four the most because it combines all these elements the most effectively.
Some episodes are truly brilliant (Band candy, Hush, The body, once more with feeling) and even the slower episodes are good. The only major criticism would be the edits using stunt doubles. Some of them are truly awful. Buffy fighting the fat lunch lady, for example, and the obvious fact that it's a man in a dress. Sarah Michelle Gellar's double is also significantly chubbier. I think James Masters probably did a lot of his own stunt work because his cuts are the least terrible. That aside, a fantastic show.
Watch it.

I'm now going to skim-watch 'Angel' because you people don't deserve my reviews.
You may now do the dance of joy.

I was never really that much of a Xander, as I got the impression he was put in to give us the "normie" perspective of a part of the Scooby Gang that doesn't have any type of super powers.
I always disliked Cordelia and her found dreadfully annoying, and as far as Angel, again, I was not a fan of that show with the two of them.
I absolutely loved Spike and his entire character arc. Willow (Dark Willow) = excellent. Eliza Dushku was also fantastic (I forgot her character's name already....Faith maybe?) I loved her rough-and-tumble side. I also like when Spike was in the wheelchair and....then he wasn't!
I also liked Drusilla. She gave me the "creeps" in a perfect way because she was legitimately scary.
I have them all on DVD and my one complaint is that there are only 4 episodes per DVD and you can't just play all 4, you have to reset them every single time, which is annoying when you're on a binge.
Geller was perfectly cast and very believable. Without a doubt, one of my favourite series.

I’m well aware that I’m rediscovering America with this, but I’ve been getting into Buffy over the last week or so, to my surprise. A few years ago I watched the pilot and some other eps and didn’t get much into the show, and I’ve never been a Joss Whedon fan (The Avengers in particular I still think an amateurish-looking and irritatingly quippy movie).
But now I’ve seen “Ted” (S2:E11), “Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered” (S2:E16), and “Something Blue” (S4:E9)—I know, completely random eps, completely random order—and I liked all of them, especially “Ted,” which has a fine creepy performance by John Ritter and, especially in the final scene between Buffy and her mom, really pulled at my heartstrings. I should get on watching these in some kind of order.
