Buffy Complete Season 1-7 - 20th Anniversary Edition [DVD] [2017]

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is by far the best TV program I have ever seen. Even better than FRIENDS, which is also amazing. It has everything! There a tons and tons of hilarious jokes in every single episode,but there are also loads of exciting fight scenes and for 1997-2003, the special effects were awesome. There wasn't any episodes that I didn't love! Each series was funny, scary, exciting and very, very fun, but there were also some really sad episodes that'll make you cry.SERIES ONE- Best episodes: WELCOME TO HELLMOUTH, WITCH, THE PACK, ANGEL, PROPHECY GIRL Worst episode: I, ROBOT...YOU JANEEven the worst episode was brilliant. Lots of people think that this is the worst series but I think it was one of the better ones. One of my favourite episode of the entire program is WITCH which had a brilliant ending. Every sngle episode was a classic and some of the best television I've seen.SERIES TWO- Best episodes: SURPRISE, INNOCENCE, TED, KILLED BY DEATH, BECOMING PART 1 & 2 Worst episode: REPTILE BOYEven better than the first series, series two is just as funny, exciting and sad as before. The special effects were, for 1998, epic. The action scenes were better made as well. One of the best series of program.SERIES THREE- Best episodes: ANNE, DEAD MAN'S PARTY, FAITH HOPE AND TRICK, THE WISH, BAD GIRLS, EAR SHOT, GRADUATION DAY PART 1& 2 Worst Episode: THE ZEPPOEven though the last episode's special effects could have been slightly better, this is still an amazing series. Not quite as good as series 1 or 2, but Faith comes into the show so that was a huge bonus. I loved it!SERIES FOUR- Best episodes: LIVING CONDITIONS, HUSH, WHO ARE YOU Worst episode: WHERE THE WILD THINGS AREThe worst series overall, but still amazing with possibly the best episode of the entire program (HUSH). The main problem with the series was the villain. Adam was pretty cool but he wasn't that original. He reminded a lot of Frankenstein's monster. The last episode was great but it was also very, very confusing and I found it hard to understand. Quite a lot of fans think of one episode, BEER BAD, as the worst but I thought it was pretty funny. Overall I still really liked this series.SERIES FIVE- Best episodes: INTO THE WOODS, I WAS MADE TO LOVE YOU, THE BODY, FOREVER, THE GIFT Worst episode: TRIANGLEA lot better than the fourth series and maybe the third best series on the show. The acting was fantastic and the storylines were even more emotional, clever and exciting. They were also hilarious too. The villain was a lot better than Adam and the introduction of DAWN was one of the best things about the show. AWESOME!SERIES SIX- Best episodes: BARGAINING PART 1, ONCE MORE WITH FEELING, TABULA RASA, DEAD THINGS, HELL'S BELLS, NORMAL AGAIN, SEEING RED, VILLAINS, TWO TO GO, GRAVE Worst episode: DOUBLEMEAT PALACEDefinately my favourite BUFFY series, series 6 might start off with some OK-ish villains, it ends with one of the most shocking and awesome villains of the BUFFY VERSE. I won't spoil though. Some episodes are hilarious (GONE), action-packed (TWO TO GO), scary (NORMAL AGAIN) or sad (SEEING RED). Overall this series was just fantastic!SERIES SEVEN- Best episodes: SAME TIME SAME PLACE, CONVERSATIONS WITH DEAD PEOPLE, STORYTELLER, LIES MY PARENTS TOLD ME, DIRTY GIRLS, EMPTY PLACES, CHOSEN Worst episode: BENEATH YOUMy second favourite BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER series for sure! The last episode, CHOSEN, was the perfect ending as it was sad, funny, action-packed (with a very film-like battle) and extremely well-written and well-acted. 5 stars!I'm very sad that I've finished it but I'm about to start watching them all over again which will be fun! Buffy, Xander, Willow, Dawn, Giles, Anya, Cordelia, Faith and Joyce are the most original and brilliant characters I've seen on TV and I can't wait to watch them all again. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is just a classic show that you need to watch! EPIC, AWESOME AND FUN!

Where shall I start... The first time I saw Buffy was by chance really. I was playing with the remote control, not knowing what to watch, when I stopped and saw a random episode from season 2 with Buffy and Angel. The episode was called : "Halloween". From then, I started to watch it everyweek as it was so gripping. Buffy differs from every other teen series as Joss Whedon makes it so mature, and interesting. It is not a unique genre. Throughout the series you find action, comedy, drama, metaphors, adventure, sex, and love. Buffy is often mistaken for something silly like a blonde girl with superpowers, and a silly name who fights vampires...How lame does that sound, right? But no, don't be mistaken...It is so much more. The vampires and all that are just metaphors for our inner monsters, and demons. The series depicts how hard life is in high school and how it can be hard for different people in different ways. It goes on after that showing that life in itself is hard, and shows how it feels to be an independent adult. Some serious themes happens in the Buffyverse. What I found particularly special is how characters grow, such as the one of Alison Hannigan playing Willow. She is depicted in season 1 as a nerd, who then becomes a powerful young woman. Or Xander who never went to college, but has an emotional intelligence, stronger than anyone. The fact that he sees everything is so important as it is painfully taken away literally from him by the priest Caleb in season 7. It also shows that very intelligent people, or academic more likely tend to be the more fragile. The metaphors of the drug addiction in season 6 with Willow was very real, and done in a exceptional way never seen before. The all of season 6 depicts very sordid elements of life. This boxset is the best series as each season, and each episode is so different, exploring each time various existentialist themes dealing with universal ones. Season 1 is not the best, as it is still childish (they start when Buffy is 16, and it ends when she is 22) However, it is worth watching it from the start. I think it is important to see all the episodes to understand fully the depth of this series as old stories are repeated. These characters are very real, and it is easy to identify with aspects of their personality. What I love about Buffy, is that she is human, and she wishes to be "a normal girl." She was "chosen", but she is not perfect. Her emotions, and the depiction of what she feels are played admirably by Sarah Michelle Gellar. The "demons" characters are interesting too in the sense that "villains" are not always bad, and "goodies" are not always good. This is again an aspect which is very true in real life. Joss Whedon created something unique that can be seen and analysed again and again. As he says he would "rather have 100 who need to watch the show, than 1000 who like to watch it." Joss Whedon was the first director to make a musical episode (Once more with feeling season 6), a silent one (Hush season 4), and a one with no sound (The Body season 5). If you haven't seen buffy from the beginning to the end you are truly missing something. This is truly a work of art.
