I love SF and Fantasy genres because if a genre fiction does its job right, it allows me to take a step back. Drama puts the human emotions too in my face. If there's also space travel, or a monster of the week, I can cope more easily.
In other words, even if some people tell me that I only ever watch "the same crap", I assure you, I watch stuff that reflects on that same range of human emotion that the people who watch "serious drama" claim I am not interested in.
Buffy has always been and will always be my prime example of this. Perfectly exemplary episodes include but are not limited to "The Body" or "Seeing Red".
