Oooh, I had heard Etoile mentioned, and lowkey put it on my list. The fact that it's in both French and English bumps it up the list considerably! Yay French immersion!

Anyhow, it doesn't age well or hold up well. [...] made me realize how much better Buffy was in both production and writing.

Interesting! I remember not liking Buffy much at first but adoring Veronica Mars. But I suspect that's just my memory painting it in nicer colors than it was. You're right that it didn't last very long, and the writing definitely got worse and worse as the show went on. Should I rewatch to verify what my memory is telling me? Probably not. :D

Well, Veronica Mars isn't available any longer unless you own the DVDs or want to purchase it - so...

Also, taste varies? I was also in my late 20s when I saw Buffy and late 30s when I watched Veronica Mars. Buffy was a bit more relatable, and unlike Veronica Mars - Buffy is supernatural dark fantasy, Veronica Mars is hyper-realistic teen noir.

I do however highly recommend Etoile.
