Buffy the Vampire Slayer, an American cult TV Series aired March 10, 1997 and lasted May 20, 2003. Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar), as the latest in a line of young women was chosen by fate to hunt vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness. Like previous slayers, Buffy is aided by a watcher, who guides and trains her. The first season exemplifies the "high school as hell" concept. Buffy Summers has just moved to Sunnydale and hopes to escape her Slayer duties. But her new watcher who constantly reminds her of inescapable presence of evil made her plans complicated.
The emotional stakes are raised in the second season. New vampires, Spike and a weakened Drusilla, come to town along with the new Slayer, who was activated as a result of Buffy's brief death in the first season finale.He once more becomes a sadistic killer seeking to destroy the world. Buffy is forced to kill him, and leaves Sunnydale, emotionally shattered.
After attempting to start a new life in Los Angeles, Buffy returns to town in the third season. She is soon confronted with an unstable Slayer, Angel (again), and an often affable but definitely evil mayor's plans for Graduation Day.
The fourth season sees Buffy and Willow enroll at UC Sunnydale while Xander joins the workforce. Willow falls in love with another witch, while Buffy begins dating a student who is a member of The Initiative, a top-secret military installation based beneath the UC Sunnydale campus.
During the fifth season, an exiled Hell-God searches for a "key" that will allow her to return to her home dimension. The "key" has been turned into human form as Buffy's younger sister Dawn. The Hell-God eventually discovers the truth and kidnaps Dawn; Buffy sacrifices herself to save Dawn and the world.
Buffy's friends resurrect her through a powerful spell in the sixth season. Buffy returns from Heaven and finds a job at a fast food restaurant. Her friends are unaware of her inner turmoils as they face their own troubles: Xander leaves his fiancée at the altar, and Willow becomes addicted to magic. When Willow's girlfriend is killed by a deranged murderer, Willow descends into darkness and begins a rampage that nearly causes the end of the world.
The instability caused by Buffy's revival enables the First Evil to amass an army of powerful vampires against humankind during the seventh season, in the process trying to kill every currently-unactivated Potential Slayer. Willow invokes a spell that activates all the "Potentials" in the world as the Scooby Gang defeats evil once more.
