Angel Season 1-5

Angel is a darker more adult version of Buffy. Over the course of the show the charachters grow and change, and all of it feels natural. The charachters evolve as you would expect them to with the situations they go through. One of the great things about Joss Whedon shows is even the supporting charachters are well thought out.

Season 1, Perhaps need a little time to understand.

Season 2 & 3 might be the best seasons in television history. Granted, you appreciate them much more had you been a Buffy fan and are familiar with the lore. It cannot be stated enough, these are amazing seasons.

Season 4, was different. A lot of people will point to this is the beginning of the end for the show. It has a lot of good things about it, but you could tell that off screen things affected this season. (This was the year Joss Whedon went off to do Firefly, and helped more with the last season of Buffy, so it has always been my opinion that Angel didn’t get enough of his attention.)

Season 5 was a GREAT way to end the show. It has some of the best individual episodes of the entire series. “Thank You” will have you in tears. And the final episode of the series has you crying because it’s over and you want it to keep going.
