'Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Most Controversial Season Is Better Than You Remember

Revisiting this contested season once more, and with feeling.

The Big Picture Buffy the Vampire Slayer was an iconic TV series well-known for being equal parts funny and heartbreaking, all the while crossing over into just about every genre there is. It was an action/comedy/drama/romance/fantasy/coming-of-age show that aired between 1997 and 2003, with 144 episodes airing across seven seasons.

'Buffy' Season 6's Darker Aspects Reflect the Struggles of Early Adulthood To focus on the criticism about the inherent darkness found in Buffy the Vampire Slayer's sixth season: yes, it is dark. That cannot be denied. The shift in tone may have been influenced by the network jump, or possibly from Marti Noxon taking over duties as showrunner, after serving as a writer and sometimes director for the show between Seasons 2 and 5 .

That leads into the addiction subplot that affects Willow throughout Season 6, as she increases the frequency of the magic she uses and the intensity of the spells themselves. Willow first got into magic back in Season 2, so it's not like her intensifying use of it comes completely out of nowhere.
