I liked Angel better than Buffy. Still wasnt my thing but enjoyed a couple of episodes.

Ive seen episodes of Buffy via SiL/ wife watching it.

I’ve never liked Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it’s popularity is confusing.

I think part of it is that we live in the entertainment world Buffy created. It feels a lot less revelatory and necessary now, having kicked the door open so wide that tons of media has expanded on what it helped establish.

Loved Xena/Hercules as a kid. It was campy, it was over the top sometimes, scenery looked visible fake lots of times, as seasons passed plots were more and more ridiculous. But Lucy Lawless was my early teen crush.

Watched both Buffy and Angel and while Sarah Michelle was hottie, i liked Angel more. Buffy leaned too much on the high school and college life drama. Angel was more to my taste, more gritty, more dark, more morally grey. As it happened, around the time Angel came on, i got introduced to WoD and it just clicked. I think Angel is great blueprint for WoD chronicle.
