A mockumentary about four vampire flatmates in New Zealand.
Bad. This is supposed to be comedy. I’m not laughing. From what little I saw, I doubt it will get any better.

Evil returns to find Ash.
Playful. It is clearly capitalizing on the success of the franchise, but it’s not really interesting to me, as though it’s stretching out the story ideas. It’s okay, though not especially recommended. I watched a bit of it, but I’d rather do other things with my life.

Facing hard times, The Ghostbusters are called back into action when the city’s mood dips deep into anger.
Definitely not as good as Ghostbusters – (1984 movie), but an adequate film nonetheless.
Properly titled Ghostbusters II.

An unaged man without a memory is sent by a secret multifaith order of monster hunters as the last hope of a lineage doomed to purgatory unless they slay the lord of all vampires.
Not a great or bad movie, but still good enough to be worth watching. It’s mostly interesting because of its main character, and the rest of it is piecemeal and without particular substance.
I think this movie was my initial introduction to Kate Beckinsale, and it turns out she’s a lot hotter in my memory than in this actual movie. Maybe she was better-presented in the next movies of hers that I saw after this.

A space-western with a motley down-and-out crew struggling on the edge of a semi-dystopian planet-spanning civilization.
Easily one of the best television shows I’ve ever seen. I don’t just consider this mandatory, I will dog people to watch it. I bought two copies of this series just to give one away.
Let me stress this. This is a series so good that even after cancellation there was enough popularity to produce a movie. A movie for a cancelled series. The only one I’ve ever heard of. Serenity – (2005 movie) is itself mandatory viewing for those who have enjoyed Firefly.
Mandatory viewing. I have been brought to tears more than once.
Continues with Serenity – (2005 movie)
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.
See also Supernatural – (2005 show) for a similar premise.
