Sarah Michelle Gellar takes on the role of Buffy Summers in this TV version of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," based on the film of the same title, which starred Kristy Swanson. Buffy is a Slayer, one in a long line of young women chosen for a specific mission: to seek out and destroy vampires, demons and other forces of darkness. Unlike her predecessors, Buffy establishes a group of supportive friends who aids her in her battles with evil, including Willow, Xander and Cordelia. Her battles with evil are frequent, since Sunnydale, where Buffy and friends live, sits atop a gateway to the realm of the demons.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Seldom subtle, always subversive, Buffy ends the way it began: a funny, weird show that packs a punch -- and a whole lot of feeling.

Riese Bernard Autostraddle I'm moved to tears by this epic exhibition of raw Girl Power... It was beautiful. Oct 5, 2021 Full Review James Donaghy Guardian Subversive, funny and emotionally engaging: there is still nothing like this cultural icon. Nov 21, 2017 Full Review Sarah D. Bunting New York Magazine/Vulture You can violate the laws of the universe you created, using a raft of new characters in whom we have no investment, or you can drag nine episodes' worth of doing so over 22 hours of TV. Not both. Nov 21, 2017 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Joss Whedon and his collaborators enrich and deepen the slayer mythology in its final season with a level of feminist commentary, sexual politics, and mythological resonance and reclamation that resonates long after the final episode is over. Mar 12, 2022 Full Review Rhys Tarling Isolated Nation But season 6 and season 7, however messy and polarising, actually throw into sharp relief why Buffy resonates 20 years later: they are works of art that come from a place of honesty. Sep 30, 2019 Full Review Audrey Fox What Culture While a lot of superheroes are plucky outsiders when shown in high school...Joss Whedon takes Buffy in a different direction.

Fernando C I love this show but OH MY would it have been too much to ask to introduce a gun that could shoot stakes or pencils? Buffy actually destroys a vampire with a pencil at one point. Yes, it would take away the need for another round of lame fight scenes, but would also open up a new line of action scenes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review J F Best show ever and the most iconic!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/21/23 Full Review Peacemaker Excellent. One of the best TV shows that I have ever seen! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Liz D Strong finish. Please don't end. Next Stop Angel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Anthony T Starts at a blistering pace, keeps going and ends brilliantly. Everything you'd want and more. How happy am I they found a great way to end. And of course Spikes character development is now legendary. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/04/23 Full Review Thomas C Despite a lot of filler episodes in the middle, Season 7 ends the show on a satisfactory note. With just enough signature ingredients in the mix, it reminds viewers of how excellent ‘Buffy' could be, the series finale being a prime example of said excellence. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/22 Full Review Read all reviews
