For what it's worth, while I can't say how other people experienced it, Buffy was the opposite of escapism for me. I mean, yeah, it's got drama, horror, comedy, and cheese, but it also helped me to recognize and confront a hell of a lot of personal problems. Helped get me through some of the shittiest times of my life.
I don't know. Maybe someone who isn't a depressed high schooler that grew up in a literal shithole would find it awful. But I rec it all the same.
Edit: Although now that I think about it, I just remembered that you mentioned to me before how fucked up your high school years were. So hey, who knows, maybe you'll have an affinity to the angst after all.
