{television} buffy the vampire slayer; season one (1997)

Buffy Summers (Sarah Michelle Gellar) seems like a typical teenager dealing with the run-of-the-mill adolescent frustrations ... except she's also a vampire slayer, preordained to kick undead butt. Aided by her misfit friends and her "watcher," Buffy sets out to save the world from the monsters that swarm Sunnydale, CA. The first season of this tongue-in-cheek show launched a hit series with an ever-faithful following of viewers.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ***** The season that started it all and had it all. Great episodes, great stories, great characters, and great comedy. I can't say enough good about this season and this show. It made the movie look like a pathetic piece of crap (which it was).
