‘Buffy’ turns 20: a countdown of the show’s 20 best episodes

As Buffy turns 20, we rank the episodes.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer has turned 20 years of age – yes, we really are all that old. But you know what hasn’t aged as badly as our increasingly ailing bodies, Buffy! Josh Whedon’s cult show is still as witty, scary, genre boundary pushing and forward-thinking as it was back in 1997.

So as you ready up a Buffy binge marathon, here’s our rundown of the best 20 episodes of them all.

The final episode of Buffy just about makes our list, mostly because it does the almost unimaginable by actually producing a series finale that isn’t terrible. Good job, Joss.

Things are wrapped up neatly, we get closure. Buffy relinquishes the burden of being the Slayer, Spike enjoys a hero’s farewell and, most notably of all, Buffy sort of chooses Spike over Angel, which pretty much every fan was hoping for the whole time, bar myself that is. But hey, you can’t please everyone.
