If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu right now. 7 seasons of it means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 2,011 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Sarah Michelle Gellar is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Buffy the Vampire Slayer earns its spot. Buffy the Vampire Slayer gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer. Between them, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Nicholas Brendon carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Across 7 seasons (1997–2003), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. What keeps Buffy the Vampire Slayer from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Charmed is the obvious comparison, but Buffy the Vampire Slayer earns its own place alongside it. 7 seasons gives the story real room to develop. Sarah Michelle Gellar is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.
