For what it's worth, while I can't say how other people experienced it, Buffy was the opposite of escapism for me. I mean, yeah, it's got drama, horror, comedy, and cheese, but it also helped me to recognize and confront a hell of a lot of personal problems. Helped get me through some of the shittiest times of my life.
I don't know. Maybe someone who isn't a depressed high schooler that grew up in a literal shithole would find it awful. But I rec it all the same. Edit: Although now that I think about it, I just remembered that you mentioned to me before how fucked up your high school years were. So hey, who knows, maybe you'll have an affinity to the angst after all.

Oriphiel, I can certainly relate to having experienced significant trauma for the majority of my life. Institutionalized for my most formative years, isolated in an educational environment where they taught down to the most mentally handicapped child in the room, endured years of emotional abuse... that's what led me to steer clear of angsty teenage media (and most of society in general until recently).
I've worked through it and am slowly introducing myself to the culture I'd missed in an effort to rejoin the world. This past year has marked a significant amount of growth and progress, and so when I entertain a bit of media I'm just looking for something to help me feel grounded. That's why I enjoy the intellectual silliness so much. To Frown, it's not that I'm seeking mental challenges, it's simply that I'm seeking comfort from a tumultuous life - my own form of escapism just like everyone else. I'll give the series a fair shake when I'm feeling up to it. Cheers.

Either you did (or lived in an outhouse, latrine, etc) or it wasn't literal. Get ****ed if you've been lying to me.
