It just gets better as Buffy the Vampire Slayer enters its third season.

This time, Buffy's world is rocked by the arrival of Faith, another vampire slayer. At first, Buffy's relieved - perhaps this means she can give up fighting the forces of evil and live a normal life after all?

But Faith has problems of her own, and drags Buffy into a world of violence and crime. And then they attract the attention of the authorities - including the Mayor of Sunnydale, who has an agenda of his own.

It's a superb season, with standout performances by guest stars Eliza Dushku as Faith and Harry Groener as the Mayor. Plus, Buffy regulars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendon and Anthony Stewart Head.

As well as the main story arc, this season also includes some standout standalone episodes, including The Wish, Earshot and Band Candy.
