I totally like him as a supporting actor, but I don't see him holding up an entire series by himself (as Angel, at any rate), however, your milage may vary. Season one is a must-see, though.

I see your point, but after having watched David in Bones, I really believe he could hold a series on his own. So I'm willing to go on a little faith here. Besides, if anything, I can just sit and drool over him.

So I've finally arrived at the second season. After sitting spellbound for almost four hours, I can sum up my experience in one word. Two words, actually. Spike RULES.

Out of all the characters in Buffy (besides Willow), he has to be the one that I liked instantly. I don't know if it's his wisecracking attitude or his screw everyone demeanor, but whatever it is, it's genius. Joss always seems to make the coolest badguys.

And one more thing: the line where Spike calls Angel an "Uncle Tom"? Priceless.

Deepgirl, I'm glad you share my appreciation of the Spikester. He's like the C-3PO of the Buffy'verse.
(A mean and like deadly C-3PO, I mean...)

I started out disliking Spike, but the more episodes and season that had him in it, I've finally decided that Spike is one of Joss's best characters in the BTVS and Angel world.

Oooo! Faith! Wait till you get to her. Evil psyco slayer!

I never hated Buffy but I never completely loved it either. I would watch it intermitently. I loves some seaons and not so much others. Joss has some great writing yes but in 7 seasons there will be thing to dislike. I actually love some of the later seasons most. When Willow loses it is pretty frickin awesome. Since you're new to it DeepGirl I'll hit spoilers

Select to view spoiler:

Sweet, gentle, mousey Willow flaying folk alive and attempting to destroy the town? Unexpected and very cool.

I never got into Angel so much. I watched it a couple of times but it never hooked me.

Mal: Yeah, well I'm known for that.

One other thing I've liked so far is the change in Cordelia's character. Not that she's perfect or anything, but Joss is actually turning her into a halfway decent person. She kind of reminds me of Jayne (I know this sounds crazy, just let me finish) in that she isn't just a one-dimensional character. You can see that there is a lot more to her than what she lets people see.

I watched quite a bit of Angel when it was on TNT (might still be for all I know at this point), and my son has been getting me to watch Buffy on DVD (I've seen seasons 1, 2, and most of 3 so far). Gotta say, I just don't connect with either show. With Firefly, I immediately bonded with nearly everything about it, especially the characters (and especially Mal, who has a lot of parallels to my own life). Nothing so far from either Buffy or Angel. Really pretty girls, but that's about the only attraction.
