New to the Buffyverse

Hi, for some time I've been thinking about watching Buffy the vampire slayer (it's been in my Disney+ watchlist for some time), can anybody tell me how do I watch in chronological order?

Hi, welcome to the Buffyverse! I imagine you are talking about watching both Buffy and Angel. We have a list for the original airing order of episodes, so you can have an authentic experience. But the order you watch them is only important for the crossover episodes, which you can find listed here (be careful with the spoilers in the second half of the article).

@Ellesy when I say chronological order, I mean like as in events that happen in the Buffyverse, not dates that the episodes aired

With the exception of the Buffy S3E18 episode "Earshot" (as noted in the list), every airing date reflects its chronological place in the Buffyverse. We have an article that organizes flashback scenes, but I don't believe that's your intention or a good approach for a first viewer.

Really, the airing order is enough for following the chronology, and that's the way both series were intended to interact.

What do you think?
