Buffy The Vampire Slayer brought new life to the undead. Making vampires the topic of conversation in the 90s. It was less Dracula and more The Lost Boys meets Degrassi.

The series gave us characters we loved in Buffy , Angel , Spike , and Willow ---
But it also killed off series favorites.
Gave us unimpressive newer replacements.
Turned good guys into big bads.

While there was a prolonged rise, there was a swift fall.
Tara's Death.
Dark Willow.
Spike " seeing red "
There were a lot of contributing factors to the downfall of the Slayer.

That's why today we're going to look back at the day Buffy died.

Joss wasn't supervising the show anymore--and the new team/new writers did not care re quality etc. It's really noticeable when you watch the earlier seasons and then get into the later.

yeah there was a clear drop in quality writing later on.
