Many BUFFY fans say the 4th season with Riley and his initiative is the weakest of the lot,but I agree with other reviewers who have pointed out that that the good stuff outweighs the,um,not so interesting.I,myself,find the iniative thing kinda lacking but,hey,there are great episodes here and the growth of the characters is fun to watch.HUSH is positively creepy in ways BUFFY has never been before.Plus Faith returns to wreak havok.The picture and sound are great,although there is a note from Joss explaining why these episodes aren't in widescreen and apologizes for the crummy episode!.I wonder which one he means?Oh well,this season is still well worth your time.
