What am I in for?
>>
>>215531802

watch the prequel instead

its kino
>>
>>215531802
first 5 good seasons

awful final season
>>
An existential crisis at seeing a lost pre-9/11, pre-smartphone, pre-social media world and how comfy it was.
>>
>>215531802
Proto woke.
>>
>>215531802
Live action Sailor Moon.
>>
>>215531802
First 6 seasons are great, S7 is mid. First 3 seasons are Highschool, last 4 are after, also the highschool seasons are 90s, after are early 2000s. Best of both worlds really.
>>
>>215531928
Yah, its rough watching shows that are pre-2005ish
>>
>>215532332
Thay girls were hot and there was little to no browns.
>>
This is like Western Sailor Moon, except boring.
>>
Comfy monster of the week, hot girls, and two (1) based Brits to make it worthwhile.
>>
This was the first series using Whendonhumor
>>
>>215531802

Teenage angst bullshit and some cutting remarks. Watch Angel instead, at least until Doyle dies.
>>
I watched a fair number of episodes back when it aired. It's good TV, but I honestly dont get the hype.
>>
>>215531802
A decent teen dramedy with of course supernatural horror.
Also the writing especially the dialogue has Whedon's fingerprints all over it, but it's not as unbearable as it was in modern capeslop movies and works well for a bunch of teenagers-college kids and sarcastic British man. The series also gets serious when it has to.

do zoomers really

also it's not like it's a documentary

>>215531802

First season is kind of low budget. Second season has regular budget, a bit melodramatic and too much teenage romance but it´s campy fun with a few strong moments. Third season is were the show really picks up. Characters start to become more rounded and actually grow into their roles, it also has the best plot and villain overall.

I would say season 3 is peak Buffy if Buffy was a story driven show but i believe Buffy is more a character driven narrative and that it´s true strength is on character growth. After S03 the main plots and villains become weaker but character development becomes stronger (This is also the moment you start watching Angel in addition to Buffy because the spin off takes some of the characters with it, not to mention there is some interaction between shows)

If you ask me, watching the characters go from who they are by Buffy S03 to who they become by the end of the respective shows is the reason to watch them but if that´s not enough for you let me tell you Whedon had some great taste in women. I mean, seriously.

how do brits always know other brits? it is some kind of ESPN that they have.
>>
>>215532676
No, we get Sky Sports over here.

Five great seasons. You'll probably like season 6 if you're a woman (showrunner was a woman while Joss was busy with Firefly and it's full of that weird misery porn women like). No one likes season 7.

We all have tea together at 6 o'clock.

I live in America. Yet I feel like I live in Britain.

The worst of both worlds, then
>>
>>215532700
I like S7. Nothing wrong with it and improves the show a great deal. Easily has some of the best eps of the show.
>>
>>215531802
Prepare to fall deeply in love with every female on the show and be nostalgic for an edgy goth phase. I wish Cordelia was my bitchy hot trophy wife
>>
>>215533176
cordy was only good on angel where she was apparently getting much bitchier behind the scenes. harmony is best girl anyway.
>>
>>215531802
sexo
>>
>>215532700
I was so attracted to the pathetic and miserable version of Buffy it's not even funny. It awoken something in me, I just wanted to protect and hold her, tell her everything will be allright.
>>
>>215533245
>cordy was only good on angel
She was only good on S1 of Angel. After that they turned her into a saint.

I don't think she was bitchy so much as a pain in the ass. Always wanting time off, always changing her appearance without telling anyone and always had to have coaches on set because she couldn't remember lines or hit her marks.
>>
>>215533176
>nostalgic for an edgy goth phase.
funny cause other than dru & spike, and angel, everyone else was a nerd or big normie and dressed in loud socal colors.
but yeah it was part of the greater millenial mallgoth extended universe.

>that episode where she dreams she's in the mental asylum
Legitimately the best SMG ever looked. I watched the show with this girl and when I brought up that Buffy was always at her cutest whenever she started to cry, she was mildly alarmed.

You facking wot?

>>215533245
Haven't seen Angel yet I'm on season 3 still but damn that sounds hot to me
>>
>>215532615
>watch angel season one instead
Angel season one is horrible unless you’re already invested in the first few seasons of Buffy.
>>
>typical 90's
>girlboss before girlboss was a thing
>teen drama with supernatural elements
>many faces you'll recognise
>reasonably entertaining but not as good
>teen romance stuff gets boring really quick

>>215534037
>girlboss
The show never fails to call Buffy out when she's wrong and even when she's not. You clearly didn't watch it.
>>

Moonman plays the lead Gentleman in Hush.

Joss Whedon's impeccable taste!
>>
I watched a random episode with my mom once. Xander was a getaway driver and has sex with Faith. It was so damn awkward.
>>
>>215533830
sobbing buffy best buffy
>>
>>215534115

I watched it when it was on the telly, more than 20 years ago.
Maybe I'm using the term incorrectly, but it was definitely rare to see a female protagonist like that.
>>
>>215534515
‘Girlboss’ typically refers negatively to a female protagonist set up to be a paragon, typically for identity politics reasons
>>
Faith in leather was so fucking hot
>>
>>215534605
Mary Sue + Don't Need No Man

But the show makes it clear Buffy needs Giles and friends. BTVS is pretty well regarded still for a reason. Even if by accident, it managed the right balance of making Buffy capable but not over the top.
>>
>>215531802
Cringe millennial writing
>>
>>215531802
watch the first 5 seasons then watch all of angel instead
>>
>>215531802
Kino through season 3 then Xander has sex and the series starts to drop off
>>
AGP kino
>>
>>215531802
If you're a horny teenager, one of the best shows ever. If you're an adult, some crappy overrated show from the WB.
