I never liked it either. Thought it was stupid I the 90s along with Hercules and Xena.

I liked the LotR movies. I didn't really l8ke the tone of those shows.

Didn't actively dislike them. Buffs the best of them. Wife's sister is massive Buffy fan. Except season 7 gor whatever reason.
At the time I was kinda busy and all over the place so shows were often disjointed for me.

You think you knew everything about a total stranger on an Internet forum you've never met and never will meet. This is a heartbreaking revelation. Oh the betrayal.

Fantasy is serious business.

I preferred Angel by a wide margin.

I never saw any of them, or at least technically I saw Buffy, but before my consciousness switched on

Loved Buffy, but never got into Angel. First part of Season 1 of Angel took itself too seriously. And besides, Spike is better vampire than Angel..

I liked Angel as a stand alone show. But somewhere after season 1 it started to feel like it had no business being part of the Buffyverse. The world building of the two shows did just didn't match up, and the development of overlapping characters wasn't good. It was better at being its own thing (maybe a "spiritual seccessor"?) than a spin off.

I recently watched a video on YouTube discussing spin-off shows that changed from the original show. Angel, Trapper John MD, and Lou Grant were brought up as examples of spin-offs that worked.

I like the direction Angel took. It was a good show in it's own way.
