Impacting pop culture and academia (with college courses and an online academic journal dedicated to its analysis), Buffy the Vampire Slayer paved the way for other strong female protagonists and female-fronted TV series. Exploring female friendship, teen angst, lesbian sexuality and feminist issues, creator Joss Whedon said that “the very first mission statement of the show…was the joy of female power: having it, using it, sharing it.”
So watch the Season 2 trailer as we look back this week at one of the most beloved TV shows of all time.
