Livre d'Or

Yeah, Angel is a very dodgy character in the way he relates to Buffy. To some extent this does get acknowledged in later series, though not in the way one would really like.

I would certainly concede that Buffy is problematic; perhaps worst in that for a series often praised for its feminism, some of those failures relate to gender issues. I think it was, however, streets ahead of much of what was being broadcast in the 1990s, and many Buffy fans will have first seen it when relatively ignorant of their priviledge. I certainly notice things that are problematic now that I didn't when I first watched it.
