As much as I love this show and have watched it many times over, I do find I “need” it less and identify with it less as I get older. I just don’t have as much in common with the characters’ minor themes and quirks like I did when I was a teen and young adult watching these. I still love the big moving episodes and the cathartic moments but I honestly can’t get through a full rewatch anymore

I have been feeling like that about a few shows I have tried rewatching lately as I get older, mostly shows with younger characters revolving around younger people concerns….unfortunately I think Buffy is one of those I can’t rewatch now. But..after Babylon 5, it was one of the most influential shows for serialized tv but it is definitely of its time when viewed now I think.
