Buffy Season 2 DVD Review

I’m still watching the Buffy Season 1 DVDs that Julie loaned me, but I see that Season 2 is now out on DVD. And, I’ve also come across this review of the Season 2 DVDs.

So far, Jason and I have only made through the first two-part episode on the Season 1 DVDs. To be honest, I wasn’t all that impressed, but I’ve heard that the episodes get better over time, so I haven’t given up on it yet. Or, as the review puts it:

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer really hit its stride in Season Two. The show went beyond just the “high school sucks and monsters are bad” motif and added deep metaphors with [spoiler], [spoiler], and the arrival of Spike and Drusilla.

  1. Season 2 really does pick up. It’s got the trademark wittiness that is somewhat lacking in the more recent shows (but after saving the world several times and dying once or twice, wouldn’t you be a little dour?). Besides, Buffy hadn’t made the transition to pants yet and still has the cheerleader look in 2.

  2. I agree that Buffy Season 2 is a bit more substantive than the previous season. It will be interesting to see how the show changes through the seasons.
