irritating and neurotic
Review date: 2008-04-21 Rating: 6 out of 10

The worst season of all. While I gave 5 stars to the whole, this one hardly deserves even 3. The kid sister Dawn is a major irritation and - unfortunately - will continue to plague the series till the end. The whole team becomes domestic, neurotic and so immersed in their family problems that is is wonder they even notice there are some baddies around. Boring and very irritating.

PURE GOLD!

This season was one of my favourites! I must of watched it about 5 times already and I only got it 2 weeks ago! This would be a great Buffy season to get. The enemy in this season is great, the acting and script is really good, It is a 100% must watcher to any Buffy fans!

Second best season.

I didn;t enjoy Season 5 when I saw it on tv but when I rewatched it on dvd, I loved it.

All the little niggles of Season 4 are gone. Clare Kramer as the Big Bad Glory is brilliant, it's bye bye to Marc Blucas as Riley, Amber Benson and James Marsters (Tara and Spike) become much more involved and finally, some stuff for Giles and Xander to do!

The biggest addition to the show is Michelle Trachtenberg as Dawn, Buffy's little sister. I wasn't sure if this storyline was going to work and Michelle Trachtenberg is a little annoying as Dawn this season but all in all it really does freshen up the show and add to the dynamic. Gellar and Trachtenberg play very well against each other.

There are some great episodes here, we finally get a Xander centic episode (first since season 3!) in The Replacement and he pulls it off very nicely! Spike's back story is brilliantly filled out in Fool For Love (which ties in to Angel episode Darla as well!). Buffy's Mum dies in 'The Body' and my hat goes off to everyone in that episode. All the case do a wonderful job at portaying the grief and emotion of the situation. Finally, the last episode 'The Gift' is one of the best Buffy episodes ever. I hated it when I first saw it but after watching ot again, it is astonishing. A fitting end to a fabtastic season.

its brilliant

This is one of the best seasons of Buffy ever, its makes you laugh, cry, scream and really feel for the characters.
At first i thoiught the introduction of Dawn was a bad move by the producers but proves to be one of the best storylines in the shows history.
This is a very emotional season and i cried 3 times at the episodes Family, The body and the Gift. I love this season its brilliant.
THe acting is outstanding and hats off to Sarah Michelle Geller on 'THe Body' when she finds her mother dead i bawled like a baby, it was such a powerful performance and when she has to tell Dawn i felt for them.
It really shows that Sarah Michelle Geller is not just a pretty face and can act with the best of them.
Alyson Hannigan shyed away from this season and didnt really play a big part.
So if you want a great DVD buy this you wont be disappointed.
