This season is a must have for buffy fans, it is the introductory piece to all things buffy. The first season tells the story of Buffy's arrival to the hellmouth, more commonly know as Sunnydale Calafornia. The first two episodes Welcome to the Hell mouth and The Harvest introduce the viewer to the slayer. Buffy becomes friends with Willow and Xander in these first episodes, and also to another student named Jesse, who ends up being turned into a vampire, i meaning Buffy must kill him.
To begin with Buffy rejects her role and reponsibilty as slayer, although the viewer can inevitably see a change in perspective coming just from the fact the tv show has been made. The character of Giles is introduced also in these beginning episodes as Buffys highschool librarian and watcher, (a kind of mentor for the slayer.)
The box set features 12 episodes, finishing with the dramatic finale where Buffy slays the master, not before dying herself of course.
I have to say Sarah Michelle Geller displays some excellent acting in this first season, although she was obviously quite young when it was filmed. I especially love her performance int he final episode of the series when she discovers her iminate prophesised death.
This season does look kinda dated now, especially costume wise, however I found i can overlook it, its just such an entriguing show and concept. Definatley better then the film that was released prior. Also very affordable now that the price of Buffy boxsets have gone down dramatically from around £79.99 to about £20-30 now.

A nice reminder of an excellent series, a bit more info about any extras available on the boxset would be helpful and it would be an idea to run your text through a spell-checked before posting the review :) You can still edit your review if you want to add more info to get higher ratings. Mil x
