Buffy is done with a sly yet generous humor that lets you forget the pain of its premise -- hence its appeal. The show manages to be sweet without offering any hope whatsoever.

Being the first season, it was *very* rough around the edges in the early stages. The villains weren't particularly memorable, and the work on the vampires and demons wasn't that strong then and certainly doesn't hold up now.

For fans of youth shows, occult shows and action shows, this new, weekly "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" is the right program at the right time.

The establishment of the Hellmouth and the season's overall arc with the Master and his flock of deeply religious vampires was actually quite well done despite [being a short season].
