Summary: The Best
Comment: I have to say that this season is one of the best. "Beer Bad" was a bit of a disappointment as it came across as a bit dull. The rest of this season though was great. As we've come to expect, it has humour, drama, violence and gore. The puns are just as good as ever so I would be surprised if you don't want to watch this more than twice. If you look deeper into it, theres also life stories in the plots so it would make you think at the end of it. I would recommend that ANYONE buy this and all the other seasons - even those who buy it for the first time will soon be hooked and begging for more. My rating? 10/10.

Summary: Not quite vintage Buffy
Comment: Whilst not quite registering on the rictor scale of villainy as prominently as the Mayor, Adam nonetheless successfully fills the shoes of the central baddie, idiosyncratic cool in tow. Characterisation-wise, Adam is well developed, but the scarcity of any big clashes between he and Buffy pre-big finale draws the satisfaction out of their final confrontation. Elsewhere, the unmasking of the mystery of the "commandos" detracts from the intriguing tone of the arcane which the series' first half benefited from. Despite this(time to justify the 4), the writers keep the fantastic eps coming, and by the series' surreal denouement, you'll be left with that familiar feeling that the show has really covered some ground.

Summary: Good but not as good as some
Comment: This season is a strange one it has a hint of the X files about it and a bit of horror some episodes in the second boxset are good but not great the 2 las episodes in the boxset are probably the most entertaining and atmospheric. Some performances are weak in this season especially from the actor who plays Adam. This does not detract from the general greatness that is Buffy the Vampire Slayer its just I've seen better get season Two boxset instead.

Summary: She's got competition now but it's the best yet.
Comment: Buffy now finishes her fourth season as strong as ever. However she now has to compete with the darker and equally as popular Angel. This set of episodes is a further step into the darker vaults of Sunnydale. The first part of series four set the standard for the more sinister side of life in Sunnydale. This next set tunnels yet deeper into black. The biggest drawback to this bunch of episodes is the diluting of the "Scooby Gang" with too many new faces, weakening the close ties between the characters. This is no way helps the plot. Sure, everyone has to grow up and make new friends but as you will see when you watch it, political correctness has seeped insidiously into the new series with some fairly poor characters...Petra to name but one. They have tried too hard with Riley to fill the gaping chasm left by the absent Angel. He seems nice but basically insipid and has none of the danger that the soul filled Vamp had. The writers really need to tighten up on these relationships. So why, you wonder, do I still rate it five stars? Well, basically despite these character problems the storyline is fantastic and keeps you teetering worryingly on the edge of your seat. With visits from past characters and past stories, it is breathlessly good. The creators really have a very good ace up their sleeve having the ability to intertwine the storylines of Buffy and Angel. These are both top quality productions which can support each other when needs be...very clever. Watch out for Angel meeting Riley, an awesome scene and notice the high amusement gleaned from the schoolboy, juvenile way they react to eachother. David Boreanaz really steals this episode with his cameo. In a nut shell, this is an awesome achievement but the weakness stemming from the new characters means that Buffy will need to watch out for competition from the superb Angel series that suffers from none of these pitfalls. Still, buy it without fail!!!!

Summary: familiar faces in new surroundings
Comment: In new suroundings it was refreshing to see familiar faces such as faith, oz and even the devious ethan rayne. With the difficulties of college, the scooby gang and new relationships it was great to see everything and everyone come together in the end to defeat another creature of darkness. new topics and new faces but same old buffy the vampire slayer.
