5.0 out of 5 stars CLASSIC, September 3, 2010
This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
It's amazing how much this show really works on the characters. If you've never seen it, give it a try. There's a reason why it's so loved. Smart, funny, quick, dark, and it gets better and better. (Well, it deteriorates at times, but what show doesn't, maybe besides Six Feet Under or The Wire).

5.0 out of 5 stars A natural progression to greatness, October 24, 2011
This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I'm not sure how in depth a review needs to be for a show as iconic as this. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is pound for pound one of the best series ever to grace the small screen. Especially considering its humble beginnings. The movie was comical and the first season a bit campy trying to compensate, I imagine. But it grew into a stunningly well meshed cast with great character development and chemistry. Just as the dynamic in the show, Buffy cements the rest of the characters, Sarah Michelle Gellar clearly carries the series but she's able to do so because the cast works as such a compliment to her style of acting. The makeup gets better and better as it goes along and the guest stars are also strong. I find this show is not only entertaining, but it stirs the creative juices and that makes it even more fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Show Ever!, October 30, 2011
This review is from: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
No question about it.. Buffy is the Greatest Show of all time. It paved the way for all the monster shows/movies we have today. And is it just me, or does Edward in Twilight seem to just copy Angel??? Angel was brooding and being a good Vamp before it was cooL!
