I hate to admit this, but I’ve never seen Buffy before… like, never seen an episode. I’ve seen the movie with Donald Sutherland, and I liked it.
I love Firefly, so I know Joss Whedon is great.
I do not like the Supernatural show from the 2000s.
It is spooky season right now and I would love to give Buffy a try, but I’m worried I won’t like it and all of my hopes and dreams for liking this spooky show will be gone.
Can someone tell me why Buffy is good so I can psych myself up for watching it?


The movie was a comedy, which is not what the show was trying to do. The very tropes the movie was making fun of were taken pretty seriously by the show. They are very different things. I will admit, fun may have been the wrong word when I should just said comedy.
