And it's still one of my favorite episode of TV ever. I recently went through the entire series for the first time in probably 15 years, and after a rocky first season, this show has held up incredibly well.
What's more impressive is that I'm usually not a fan of musicals or musical episodes of shows, but the songs were amazing, and fit the context of the turmoil Buffy was experiencing perfectly.
Hollywood in 2022 could learn a whole hell of a lot from this show. It showed it is not only possible to cover social issues without sacrificing the story, but how to do it in a way that actually benefits it.
Today, everything is so hamfisted that they're actually doing harm to the issues they claim to be representing.
