S1 is really uneven, possibly even worse that Buffy's first season I think.
When I rewatched the show a few years ago, my main thought was that the show really suffered from having to do a full 23-24 episodes per season because especially in the earlier seasons there were a lot of obvious filler episodes. Like, there were usually at least a couple of episodes with pretty the exact same plot, such as "Roland" and "Born Again".
And Morgan & Wong were clearly the strongest writers in the team - I don't think they wrote a single bad episode, unlike most of the other writers who all had at least one absolutely terrible one :)
