After hearing all the great things about the show, I decided to purchase season 1 on DVD. I don't know what I'm missing, but man was I disappointed! I watched the first six episodes before giving up. The plots are ridiculous, the acting is amateurish with being forced and unnatural expressions. And one of worst things about the show is that the plots are all the same. Every episode has the same lame redundant ending. Every show has Buffy defeating some sort of evil vampire or villain with her fake looking stunts. She almost never runs into any sort of difficulties.
The dialog is bland and the acting jobs subpar. The cast members have great deal of difficulty expressing emotion and getting their audiences to feel for them - particularly with respect to Xander. Another thing that bothers me is that with all the principals, teachers, and students getting killed, you'd think there would be some kind of social unrest at school. But apparently it's a regular day at Sunnydale as usual. Truly, you have to be a kid to enjoy this show.
