There is lot of craft and effort put on a show with very silly premise. While show struggles to get on the gear at first, once it starts going it is just sublime and entertaining show. Now over some 20 years later, the show's meta narrative is still deeper than most current shows.The retro aspects of the show gives Buffy a great boost.
It is shame that the HD-version that is on the streaming platform is very bad. It destroys most of the shot composition. They tried to make Buffy widescreen in spite the fact that show was designed to be 4:3. This results sometimes showing things you are not meant to see (like camera crew, light stands, etc...) and most of the time cutting parts of peoples faces off in weird ways or zooming way too close. Also color is way off in most of the scenes, digital effects are in different resolution, etc.
Still, recommended watch, even if you have to watch the inferior HD-version.
