Buffy The Vampire Slayer : Series review (Finished)

Buffy Summers (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar) is "the Slayer", one in a long line of young women chosen by fate to battle evil forces. This mystic calling endows her with dramatically increased physical strength, as well as endurance, agility, accelerated healing, intuition, and a limited degree of clairvoyance, usually in the form of prophetic dreams.

Buffy receives guidance from her Watcher, Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head). Giles, rarely referred to by his first name, is a member of the Watchers' Council, whose job is to train and assist the Slayers. Giles researches the supernatural creatures that Buffy must face, offering insights into their origins and advice on how to kill them.

Buffy is also helped by friends she meets at Sunnydale High: Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan) and Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon). Willow is originally a bookish wallflower; she provides a contrast to Buffy's outgoing personality, but shares the social isolation Buffy suffers after becoming a Slayer.

Review

Buffy was another one of my favorite shows that the greedy pigs of capitalism decided to cut because they judged it to not be made of pure gold. I really hate those guys...

It follows the life of a chosen by fate highschool student who gets supernatural strength, speed and agility in order to fight and kill supernatural beings, mainly vampires but she kills other things as well. It is like teen Supernatural with a blonde instead of Sam and Dean. The storyline is pretty good, and it has some interesting twists.

It is an old series and as such some of the effects are way too outdated, some friends discarded the show just because of that, I on the other hand was not affected by it, with the exception of 2-3 episodes that the monsters were so funny that I couldn't stop laughing to keep track of the story XD

Bottomline it is a nice series to pass your time if you like killing supernatural creatures and don't mind some low tech effects, go watch it.

  3. @nina: it was originally written for 10 seasons so the story remains a bit unfinished, but they did a pretty good job covering it up. Also after it was cut they continued it as a comic if you are interested in the rest of the storyline.
