5.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite show *sigh*, April 17, 2005
This review is from: Angel - Seasons 1-4 (DVD)
My son, when he was in college, got us hooked on Buffy. Buffy was so much more than a vampire show. It was about growing up. When Buffy ended we bought Angel season one. We continued to buy Angel until we had all 5 seasons. We couldn't watch season 5 on TV because the station we watched it on would preempt it with basketball.
Angel takes us into young adulthood. There is drama and action but what hooked us on Angel (and Buffy) was the humor. The writers were so creative. All of the characters were multi-faceted but the Angel team all wanted to do "the right thing" at great personal cost sometimes.
We actually delayed watching the last episode because we didn't want Angel to be over and done. But this is the type of show that one can watch over and over again. I guess we will have to buy all the Buffy episodes next.

Totally up to expectation, July 20, 2005
This review is from: Angel - Seasons 1-4 (DVD)
This is such a fine series. For many of the episodes I feel as if I'm watching a movie rather than a TV show. The writing is superb most of the time as is the acting and directing. The homage to film noir and nods to older TV cop shows are also fun.
It's just a beautiful looking show. Every once and a while the themes are even subtle---this and a hunksome star---what more could you ask of TV?

Buy it!, September 11, 2009
This review is from: Angel - Seasons 1-4 (DVD)
If you are a fan of Buffy and/or Joss Whedon, then buy this series. All 5 seasons are amazing. It's interesting to watch the series grow. The most amazing part is that it keeps getting better, trying to outdo itself in each subsequent episode.
Also of note, this is the first TV series that I purchased that I had never seen a single episode on TV. I bought season 1 because I loved the Buffy series, so how could I go wrong? Obviously, I couldn't, and didn't. I was sad to see this series end. I want more!
