Synopsis

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), Season 1 — 12 episodes — is where it all starts, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Buffy Summers moves to Sunnydale convinced she can leave her Slayer life behind. She cannot.

The high school sits on a Hellmouth: a dimensional fault line that pulls every kind of predator toward it. The school librarian, Rupert Giles, is already waiting — he's her new Watcher. Willow, Xander, Cordelia, and a mysterious young man named Angel fill out what becomes the Scooby Gang. Each episode brings a different threat: a witch rigging cheerleading tryouts, a praying mantis posing as a substitute teacher, a demon that escaped through a digitized book and the internet, Xander possessed by something ancient and hyena-shaped. It's fast, often funny, and episodic — until an ancient prophecy surfaces that concerns Buffy in the most personal way possible.

Twelve episodes is a short first season, but the characters click into place here in a way that carried the show for seven years. Stream Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 1 online on iFILM.
