Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The great appeal of Buffy The Vampire Slayer was not the manner in which took on the darkness, the evil that surrounded her, the matter of the dead coming back to life and making Sunnydale a literal Hell on Earth, it was that this was a young woman with real problems, real issues that affected so many across the Western world and how she overcame them. If Joss Whedon’s heroine had been a lad, a boy slayer, it’s doubtful that the show would have been as successful, except to those whose interest in the Twilight series is more driven by rampaging hormones that plot lines.
