Should've had another option
Sorry about that
There needed to be a few more in there like indifference and I liked some bits and not others. I'm not a big fan of first and second Buffy seasons but I love pretty much all the Cristos Gage stuff - A&F1, Buffy 10 and 11.
S8 - I hated aspects of it - Dawn being a literally giant pain in the ass really put me off although it pays off eventually, resurrected Warren - spare me!, There's some good stuff - the Faith arc, the one offs, Enemies at the Gate, but yeah the penultimate arc in Tibet and bits of the climax reading like bad fan fic I caught a glimpse of that went wtf and stayed away from the comics for years because of it, I liked the last two issues I liked the tragedy and the ambiguity of 'did Buffy do the right thing?' and the trying to return to normal.
Atf - it's got some great ideas including the Spike spin off set in this time - but it's plot is hard to follow at times and the artwork is bad - they make a lot of characters look ugly and that shouldn't be possible.
Other IDW - it some interesting ideas but some real wtf ones, I quite liked the spin offs even if they weren't brilliant, artwork still bad though

Buffy 9 - I've mixed feelings about this unlike Tother I liked Severen I liked having a big bad who was misguided rather than evil and Simone was a nice foil to Buffy, I also liked Koh, Dowling's a bore but he's ok but hated the Duffy ship tease just...no, I liked Billy and Devon and Anaheed, I didn't like the Kennedy stuff or I read this before a lot of season eight so I started to hate her here, I really like the final arc and the Watcher comic from Xander's POV that lead into it. I think this was an experimental season that was a bit hit and miss it paled in comparison to...
A&F 1 (9) - I'd recommend this to anyone it's just terrific
Willow Wonderland - I liked this actually
Didn't bother with the Spike spin off
Buffy 10 - I see this as Once More with Maturity - it revisits a lot of notes from season six but shows how the chracters have learnt from those mistakes and it's about creating a space for yourself in the world as a grown up and it uses the main villian well too. It felt a bit more like a real Buffy season rather than some experiment with Buffy chracters - I loved the development of Xander and Dawn here, you get Xander owning his shit here
A&F 2 (10) - isn't as strong as one but it has it moments I loved Miss Lehane the undercover gym teacher and the Lost and Found arc and Nadira, I also loved Koh's attitude and struggle for forgiveness as contrast to others on the show.
Buffy season 11 - this is Buffy doing something new and it's great I love this and although some were disappointed in the reveal of the bad I wasn't, it's a shame the message got ignored
Angel (11) - it's a hot mess mostly but the issue with his family gives us some nice backstory and an intriguing question of just how things did go so badly wrong between Angel and his father plus his little sister us cute
Season 12 - didn't like the arbitrary dismissals of a couple of things built up over 10 and 11, sorry don't care about Freyverse, really don't like more pointless resurrection of a dead villian it's a major beef I have with the comics - stop it! I liked the last issue and especially what they did with Faith that was lovely. I like they left shipping ambiguous enough you can sail your own and I like that it seems to hint at a loving platonic Bangel - I think they need each other but can't lovers and that's a nice solution to it.
