Small town infested with vampires (and other miscellaneous supernatural beings). One young blond with superpowers combats their evil. She falls in forbidden love with the one good vampire, a centuries old brooding guy struggling to regain his humanity. Every story an allegory (vampire = gay, etc.).
But really, it's not that TB is a parallel to Buffy, necessarily. It's just that it is covering very well-trod ground, much of which appeared in Buffy at one point or another. And Buffy was more fun, made me care about the characters more, etc. Tara is annoying and her mother is super-duper annoying. Sam just pines for Sookie all day long and occasionally turns into a dog. Jason Stackhouse...well, ok, he might be more interesting than Dawn but he's so stupid as to defy belief. It's not exactly the Scoobie gang.
