I’m going to disagree with Dawn. I feel like she was the one addition that really worked: the ballsy gaslighting that turned out to be a retcon and her being central to the plot actually sold her for me.
Plus I grew up on Pete and Pete so I was already a Michelle Trachtenberg fan.
That was the point though - they deliberately made her obnoxious af and pushed it in a way that would put the viewers on the back foot before pulling the rug.
Connor was just a disaster. Even the actor hated the whiny little shit

I should have clarified that in the end I think adding Dawn as a character was great for Buffy, but initially, I hated the idea.
