Trivia:
The series is based not on the feature film Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992), but Joss Whedon's original screenplay, which had been heavily rewritten to be more comedic. The Buffy comic book series adapted the screenplay, bringing the events of the movie in line with the TV show's continuity.

FAQ
Why don't they just use that spell from "Becoming Pt. 2" to re-ensoul every vampire?Why is the Master is free in "The Wish" when he said in "Prophecy Girl" that he needed Buffy's blood? And why isn't the Hellmouth open when it was a major plot point of season 1?
In reference to the above question: But didn't Buffy (and Giles, and Dawn) say in season 7 that if Buffy died, a new Slayer would be called?

Buffy is series that was not only consistently good, but a series that grew better over time. The first season is good, but not fantastic. It was shorter because the WB was not sure if they would have a viewing base and only had 12 episodes. The second season developed the characters and you began to see the magic of the show. As the series progresses, I am astounded by the writing, directing, and acting. Joss Whedon is a genius of the camera and master of the pen, and anyone who argues with me is fooling themselves. The cast, as well as the characters, matures over time and become living, breathing people that you believe.
In short, if you are considering watching this show, I highly recommend you watch all of the first and second season before making any judgements. Frankly, this is my favorite story of all time. It transcends the TV, and beats out most books, movies, and other TV shows. This show is beautiful.
