Title: This was awful
Review: This season was awful, with the notable exception of the musical episode. Buffy started out as a great show, and then somewhere along the way (season 3-4?) it became a metaphor for a successful child star who ruined his life with drugs and alcohol, sinking ever-farther into his additions. I still don't know what happened. Did Joss and his writers just run out of good ideas? Or did Joss, secure in the success of the show, feel free to indulge emotional issues he'd never been able to resolve? Where is the joy in watching characters about whom you've learned to care sink lower and lower in their lives until they are perpetually miserable? I loved Buffy the first couple of seasons, liked it the for a couple after that, but it should have ended before this disaster came along and I still thought good things about Buffy and Willow.
Is the review positive or negative?
