Never seen any of it. Is this a show where I can watch in release order, or are there prequel movies and flashback episodes and stuff that need to be reordered?
Also, is there a difference depending on where you watch it? Some shows have censored episodes, removed jokes, or of-the-moment "special"episodes. (Like The West Wing’s 9/11 episode)

At some point you’ll have to start watching Angel, the spinoff that aired right after it.
Because Buffy has part 1 of a two parter, and Angel would then immediately air part 2
So for modern streaming it sucks, but it made sense back in the day
Understood, thank you.
The passion of the nerd has a great episode guide.

If he says watch it, stop the video and watch the episode. If he says skip it, go ahead and just watch his summary of the episode. I thoroughly recommend watching his summaries and analysis after each episode so you can get the most out of what the show is really about.
And miss the hilarious 90’s cheese of the Technodemon? For shame!
For new people? Maybe on their second watch through.
I don’t mind cheese and bad FX. Thanks for the link!
Release order is fine. I wouldn’t worry about the Angel crossovers, you’re not missing anything critical by not watching it. I’d feel free to skip the first season as well if you’re not feeling it, the show really only kicks into gear in its second season.
There are some Angel crossovers that are literally one episode across two shows. It might be a bit jarring to watch those separately. I believe they only lasted one or two season before buffy moved networks though.
The show is a very loose sequel to the 1992 Kristy Swanson film of the same name. It’s not critical to watch by any means, and plenty of details are ret-conned, but the first couple episodes of the show do make passing references to the film.
The film has a very different tone than the show, but it’s got a stellar cast and I’ve always thought it was a lot of fun.
I had no idea. Do you think it’s better to watch the movie first, or later?
