Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an American supernatural drama television series based on the 1992 film of the same name.
The series premiered on March 10, 1997, on The WB and concluded on May 20, 2003, on UPN. The series narrative follows Buffy Summers (played by Sarah Michelle Gellar), the latest in a line of young women known as "Vampire Slayers", or simply "Slayers". In the story, Slayers, or the ”Chosen Ones”, are "called" (chosen by fate) to battle against vampires, demons, and other forces of darkness. Buffy wants to live a normal life, but as the series progresses, she learns to embrace her destiny. Like previous Slayers, Buffy is aided by a Watcher, who guides, teaches, and trains her. Unlike her predecessors, Buffy surrounds herself with a circle of loyal friends who become known as the "Scooby Gang".
The series received critical and popular acclaim as well as its spinoff series Angel, and extensions thereof, have been collectively termed the "Buffyverse".
Airing on The WB from October 5, 1999, to May 19, 2004, consisting of five seasons and 110 episodes, Angel details the ongoing trials of Angel, a vampire whose human soul was restored to him by a Romani curse as a punishment for the murder of one of their own. After more than a century of murder and the torture of innocents, Angel's restored soul torments him with guilt and remorse. Angel moves to Los Angeles, California, after it is clear that his doomed relationship with Buffy, the vampire slayer, cannot continue. During the majority of the show, he works as a private detective in L.A, where he and a variety of associates work to "help the helpless", restoring the faith and saving the souls of those who have lost their way. While he must also battle his own demonic nature, he typically battles with evil demons or humans allied to them, primarily related to Wolfram & Hart, a law firm supported by occult practices which is an extension of otherworldly demonic forces.
So I thought I would try something a little different on this forum. I've been eager to get into reviewing TV shows on this forum, as I feel reviewing films can be a bit tiresome at times. I watch a lot of TV, like a lot of TV, and know a lot about TV (If your curious, I also work in TV too - Fun fact!). So I figured now's the best time to try and start reviewing TV shows, and I thought I'd start with a biggie....
Joss Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer
&
Joss Whedon's Angel.
Both of these shows I grew up with and developed an absolute adoration for, particularly Angel. And seeing as I haven't seen them in a long time, I felt it was a good time to rewatch the show and give them a second look.
Hope you'll enjoy the ride, because I certainly will.
