I’ll add notes when I re-watch this series.
Do not watch this without respecting the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel viewing order.

A vampire, cursed with a soul to be immortally haunted by his past, hopes for absolution by fighting the damned.

An astonishing series. The characters and story are outstanding. While built upon/within the Buffy the Vampire Slayer universe, it has a different and significantly more adult story line. I would say that this series is better than its parent, but Buffy is mandatory and still enjoyable viewing to get to this one.

Mandatory viewing.

Set in the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer – (1997 show), sharing significant-enough elements that crossover-viewing is largely considered mandatory. See Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel viewing order.

I’d need to re-watch this to add proper notes.

A highschool cheerleader, learning she is imbued with the spirit of the Vampire Slayer and her school was built on a Hellmouth, is trained by an ancient order of Watchers to fight vampires and other monsters from ending the world.

An astonishing series, and I don’t say that lightly. The characters and story are outstanding. While this is a fast-and-loose show, it matures. It spinoff/partner series, Angel – (1999 show) is even more adult. This show is well worth the time, even if its initial episodes put the viewer off with its childishness. It’s not a series that “grows on you”, it really does get better and better, building upon and maturing out of its initial impressions.

Mandatory viewing.

Inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer – (1992 movie), which is neither mandatory nor recommended viewing.
See also Angel – (1999 show), which is set in this universe and shares significant-enough elements that crossover-viewing is largely considered mandatory. See Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel viewing order
Inspired a comic book sequel.
See also Supernatural – (2005 show) for a similar premise.

While I really like this series, it’s a major uncomfortable mindfuck in many places and I don’t know how strongly I could recommend it to others. I would be far more hesitant in recommending it to those not already fans of the science fiction genre at large, whose members are often far more accepting of already-difficult subjects.
