I don't really know how to describe this show. I don't think that I have ever seen a show based on a film (except perhaps MASH) that was ever any good. I stayed away from Buffy for quite awhile, because I figured that it could not concievably be worth watching. I was wrong.
This is one of the most intelligent, well-written, well-acted shows that has ever graced the small screen. I still find myself amazed at the complexity of the storylines and the intelligent sensibility of the screen-writing and direction. I do not mean to overpraise the show, as it is, for the most part, teeny-bopper fiction. However, it so thoroughly exploits and transcends the conventions of teeny-bopper fiction that one wonders if it is still in the same category at all.
Great show.
