Request: Tell me why Buffy is worth it! (programming.dev)

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?

Ok. So first off the movie was not whedon and was a comedy in case you watch that. The show is old so its special effects are like old school doctor who level. Basically costumes and makeup. Because its old it has some nostalgic computers for some people. Its kinda painful initially but it builds and if you want to watch angel you will have backstory for when that show takes off and angel as one of the best series finales ever imo (please don't watch it unless you watch the series as it is only great in relation to the series). Im not sure but I think it started the thing with singing episodes and puppet episodes that other shows down the line then did. Maybe someone did it before but I feel the buffyverse is where it started.
