I came here to say this, lol. The show improves so much, not counting Season 4.First season is really bad so if you're finding it okay so far, you're in for some of the best television ever starting from season 2.
It's so funny watching shit like that from the future lolThis cyber demon episode lol
Be careful of this newfangled internet thing
And by extremely LTTP I mean by like, a few decades.
I was way too young to ever watch this show when it was on the air, but it comes up frequently in the many sci-fi and fantasy genre fandoms that I've been a part of over the years, so I decided to watch it since it's on Hulu.
I've watched the first four episodes so far, and it's pretty good. I knew basically nothing about it beyond some basic pop cultural osmosis picked up through the years. So far I like it. So I figured I would make this LTTP thread to chronicle my viewing experience.
It would be absurd to ask people to spoiler tag shit from a 25 year old show so you can feel free to discuss whatever you want, I'm not concerned about spoilers really.

I never did finish this show when I watched it way back
everyone seems to love season 5 but it just fell extremely flat for me as a whole because I could never bring myself to care about that sister character even the tiniest bit
I agree. I liked Angel, but never got as into it as I did with Buffy. It didn't help that I despised Connor and even after his departure I just couldn't get back into the show.Buffy the Vampire slayer is fantastic. Season 6 being the apex for me. It also makes great background tv on rewatches.
I always found Angel to be largely dull.. aside from the second half of Season 4 when Gina Torres shows up... Season 5 is also pretty fun. The cast just isn't as good and Angel himself just isn't that compelling. My opinion is definitely in the minority on here though
I'm in the minority when it comes to this: 6>3>5>2>7>1>>>4

That's pretty much the only thing in the entire season I enjoyed.
Conner was a great concept, but everything got derailed because Charisma got really sick during her pregnancy. They basically had to rewrite the season on the fly to accommodate her bed rest. If you rewatch again, take note of how much of that season she is laying down or just not standing.I agree. I liked Angel, but never got as into it as I did with Buffy.

I believe in the first season they didn't get much of a budget because it was like the whole season was a pilot. Second season they actually got a budget :pOn the first episode of season 2 now, it's interesting that it seems like the production values, dialogue, directing, music etc. have already improved significantly. What changed?

Oh yeah I forgot about the mid-season replacement thing!It was also a mid season replacement. Some other show was cancelled and they had to do a last min replacement show.
In one of the audio commentary Joss Wheldon mentioned they only had that one corridor set to use so they would have actors exit and then enter from another door or side, and shoot from other angles to make it seem like the actors went into another corridor. But it was the same corridor over and over again.
That's because Buffy set the blueprint for CW's output, and everything after worked from that.
Yep, for exampleThat's because Buffy set the blueprint for CW's output, and everything after worked from that.
Showing relationships crumbling rather than having them work out is pretty much CWs Prime Directive.and from Whedon being more interested in showing relationships crumbling than in having them work out (pretty much all kinds of relationships, romantic, familial, friends).
When you're young and going through shit in your own life that's cathartic.Yep, for example

I got a kick out of seeing Ashley Johnson in that. I had forgotten she appeared in Dollhouse.In a slightly unrelated note. I watched Joss' Much Ado About Nothing last night and it's insane how many Wedonverse alum's are in that movie. I still <3 Amy Acker.
Alright that was the best episode so far, Angel becoming evil and Buffy with a rocket launcher lol
I'm Team Season 4 - It is by far the funniest season of the show.
It has some of the best stand alone episodes. People just like to rag on it because it had a poor overarching storyline.
