It is consistently ONE of the best seasons of TV in terms of character, theme and comedy. I've heard some say that it doesn't reach the dramatic heights that S2 or some of the latter seasons have but...meh, I don't see that. Graduation Day Pt 1/2 is simply better than its Becoming counterpart.
I think the season is driven by a good villain and Buffy having a definitive positive arc that follows on from the previous season. It has the best versions of the established characters, reimagined returning characters brilliantly (Spike), had great brand new characters (Faith, Wesley), deepening relationships and even gave Angel a nifty baseline pilot for his spinoff.
Are there too many characters? Yeah, and a couple miss out because of that (Oz mainly) but everyone gets major character development and a kick-ass heroic ending sendoff. It's the Buffy high mark for me.
