Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the story of an American cheerleader who holds the destiny of being the Slayer; the one woman who holds the duty of defending the world from vampires. With her best friends slowly abandoning her.
Review: A really interesting way of telling the world about vampires. The main storyline doesn't just show meaningless vampire slaying, but an on going struggle with life, and everything it has to throw at you. All though the show is supposed to be about darkness and evil, but it's mostly teaching you good things. The main idea behind this show is about a young teenage cheerleader that one day has been told she has to defend the world from darkness, which was too much of a load to take at the time for an irresponsible little girl. You will really fall in love with this show after you see buffys character evolve and mature over time. Going from careless high school vampire slaying girl to a troubled teenager who's trying to lead a normal life, but it just doesn't seem to work out.
