There were a few things that I liked about it. Mostly, though, it was moments that I liked, not actual storylines.
I really liked Xander and Buffy interactions. I really liked Renee, and wish she hadn't been killed before she and Xander actually went on a date. I really liked Xander and Dawn interactions and loved them hooking up. And I loved Buffy and Xander's conversation after she saw him kissing Dawn.
I really liked Giles and Faith traveling together. Kennedy was actually likable in the comics. I would have liked to see Vi a bit more, but overall, I was okay with how she was handled. I was intrigued by the idea of Dracula and Xander remaining friends.
So there were actually quite a few individual things that I liked, or at least was intrigued by. But I wasn't a huge fan of the storylines themselves. And I was irritated by what the storylines said about the characters (most notably Buffy and Angel).
Honestly, one of my favorite stories was "The Chain". Which was a one-shot side story. I really wish we could have known more about that girl. But that was the point.
