Buffy Season 5 - By: Dan Škorpík, 19 Sep 2009 
Glory is coming, Dawn is raising, Buffy is dying & everyone is having fun....so buy now!!
THE BEST SEASON OF BUFFY - By: Lou Almighty, 01 Mar 2009 Simply put Season 5 with the introduction of Glory (Clare Kramer) is the BEST season of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. Although the absence of some characters is missed ("Oz", Faith, Angel) it's an outstanding season in an outstanding series & Ms. Kramer's acting is unique. The introduction of Buffy's sister Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg) is a bit awkward, but still acceptable & does add a lot to the series.
Not the best of buffy! - By: T. Macleod, 13 Oct 2008 
I found this series rather disappointing. Whilst the first 3 (especiallly the 3rd season) were alll tremendous & series 4 was thoroughly enjoyable this one is much darker. As a personal preference I like a big dollop of humour in buffy & in this season there's a distinct lack of humour. Some of the episodes are great but I found Dawn so irritating in this that she marred a great deal of it & the misery of Joyce Summers' death, although portrayed very well (particularly interesting is listening to Joss Whedon's commentary), made for a rather dismal season. Glory is a great villain & Spike's character is reallly starting to develope but it lacks the sparkle, fun & much of the shock factor of previous seasons.

irritating and neurotic - By: Akela, 21 Apr 2008 The worst season of alll. While I gave 5 stars to the whole, this one hardly deserves even 3. The kid sister Dawn is a major irritation & - unfortunately - will continue to plague the series till the end. The whole team becomes domestic, neurotic & so immersed in their family problems that is is wonder they even notice there are some baddies around. Boring & very irritating.
