I wonder if the way people feel about season six is something that changes from first viewing to subsequent viewing. That's what happened to me and a couple other people I know.

On the first watch, I didn't like season 6 overall, and I think it's because the depression storyline didn't appeal to me very much. I wanted my heroes to be heroes and wear the white hats and always be kind to each other and be BFFs and it seriously harshed my squee to watch all the Scoobies make poor decisions and their friendships fracture and to watch them hurt and grieve.

On subsequent watches, I've been able to appreciate a whole lot more what the show is doing in that season and now I like it a great deal.

YMMV, obviously, but this is definitely one of those things that has grown on me as time has gone by.

I don't know if I quite agree with that, not for my part at least, and though I'm sure you didn't mean it this way I dislike the idea that people didn't like S6 because they just wanted everyone to be happy and always be kind and not make poor decisions, etc. I like watching my heroes be depressed and hurt and making bad decisions. I just think S6 did a terrible, terrible job of showing it and so many things felt like 'depression for depression's sake' (Xander and Anya's breakup comes to mind for me here) or really badly done melodrama (magic is drugs!). I understand what they were trying to do with that season, but personally I feel the show failed at it. Obviously YMMV though.

Oh no. I didn't mean to imply that's what everybody felt. *I* wanted everyone to be happy. LOL I was coming out of the Star Trek the Next Generation ethos of TV watching, and I think Buffy was the first show I watched as a burgeoning adult where the heroes were complicated (in retrospect, MASH fits the bill, but as a kid I didn't pick up on a lot of the moral ambiguity etc. that I love so much now). I have since gotten over my desire for everyone to be BFFs, thank you BSG, but I do still have a warm place in my heart for shows where the friendships stay strong and the characters don't necessarily go through the kind of torment the characters go through in the Buffyverse.

I also agree with you that a lot of what they were trying to do failed. I have always hated the way Willow's storyline played out.
