Is Buffy worth it?

[switch842]

So, I'm contemplating adding the Buffy TV show to my Netflix queue. I was sort of interested in it way back when, and then I kept hearing things about it, but it was too late to get into it. And then after seeing him as Captain JackJohn I've decided that James Marsters is all kinds of sexy. So, oh, great f-list, should I?

ETA: Got 'em all! I knew I could count on you guys!! :-D

I've seen the movie. That was kind of one reason I was a little skittish about the TV show cos the movie was this total comedy, not at all serious thing. And then the TV show came it was all dark and gothic seeming. But it seems that that didn't matter! :-)

It is all dark and gothic contrasted against high school silliness. It's very funny, funnier than the movie in my opinion, but in a more sophisticated way (not that Buffy is sophisticated :P).

I avoided the show for most of the first season for the same reason as you, but a friend insisted I check it out. Have we mentioned the excellent cast? Almost everyone on the show has a very active career.

There are some very interesting surprises for you, too. I won't spoil you but:
1)The show where Xander was split in two.

2)The episode where all the adults act like teenagers. LOL. The fun in that episode goes on. ;)

3) The Troll episode (Are you an "ER" fan?)

4) Dracula comes to town. Get out!

I'm laughing just thinking about these shows. :-D

Sounds excellent! Now I can't wait for my queue to get down to them! LOL
