It's more adult, deeper, more layered, darker...

I might agree that it's darker in the sense that it's more bleak and literally darker since most of it takes place at night, but the rest...Nah. I think it *tried* to be those things and in doing so tripped over itself. Frankly, I think some things were downright childish. Like Angel's Dark Side stuff in S1 and in the end his epiphany is more or less the same one 16 year-old Buffy had in S1. I think that's what plays to this belief. Buffy was/is seen as a teen show about 'Barbie with a Kung-Fu Grip' so people look at it with that in mind.

I've come to like Angel (the character) more lately, though.
