Is Buffy: the Vampire Slayer good?

Buffy is a classic paranormal teen show. It's a little old, but if that does not put you off then its a must-watch-show.

Angel is a spin-off from Buffy and they have lots of crossover episodes.

If you like Angel then you should definitely watch Buffy. Yous shield has watched it before watching buffy. In fact, you should watch them at the same time. This is the best viewing order.

Is Grimm good?

The creators have earlier made shows like Buffy and Angle. Grimm has some high standards to live up to, and it does so remarkably well.

This Show is a kind of modern take on the Grimm`s fairytales. Grimm is especially worth watching if you like modern fantasy and police shows.

Why is Grimm recommended?

Nick is a police detective instead of a private detective, but both Nick and Angel takes on cases helping out in supernatural crimes.

Is Firefly good?

Firefly is a superb show. I can't fathom why it got canceled after only one season. I want a new show like this.

Watch it now! Just do it.

Why is Firefly recommended?

Joss Whedon created both these grate shows. Firefly might be very different in many ways, some small similarities come thru by having the same creator.

The only reason Firefly I suggested is that it has the same creator in combination with being an excellent show, one of the best.

Why: same creator
Why not: science fiction
