I'm bummed that they took Buffy off of Netflix (at least in the US). I mean I do own all of the dvds, but now I have to go home (8 hour drive) to get them and plug in my dvd player anytime I want to watch them (and I can't watch them on my computer, because according to the guy at the apple store 'dvd drives are obsolete now'
). We're so spoiled in the modern age of streaming and smart TVs/rokus.
I tend to really love and go back to the sillier episodes (OMWF, Tabula Rasa, Something Blue, Pangs, the one where Gyles gets turned into a demon that I always forget about but think of fondly), but I do also really love Hush and The Body. I generally think of seasons 5 and 6 as my favorite and mostly hate 4, but there are actually a lot of single episodes I like from that season. The whole arc of 4 and the main characters that go along with that are not my cup of tea though. I do also forget how much I like seasons 2 and 3 and I should probably watch them more, though I find Angel whiny and annoying and definitely prefer Spike. I did get introduced to Buffy through Logo (a ridiculous gay TV channel in the US) playing season 6 episodes cuz of Willow and learned about Spike before Angel though, so that might have made me a bit biased. I would definitely suggest just watching it all from the beginning, even if some of season 1 is a bit hard to get through, but I am a completionist it's probably not necessary.
I was wondering if anyone has read the season 8 comics (and possibly more? I'm not sure). I have the first one of season 8 and I've read it and was kind of intrigued, but I really only buy used books or use the library and they've not been easy to find. Even used on Amazon they're still pretty pricey. Anyone have thoughts on if they're worth the read?
