Angel - Season One Reviews

My Best Creation Yet!

Don't rent this, buy it! I spent ages creating this just for you all to get it for free.

Best season of Angel by far, its exactly like Buffy in many ways, but also alot darker and adult.

Rent and enjoy!

A great spin off series

Angel is the adult spin-off to Buffy The Vampire Slayer and although can be viewed as a stand alone show, is best watched alongside Buffy Season 4.

Definitely a must for Buffy fans, but also for those who haven't previously watched the show.

Sublime toothy fun

Angel manages to pull off the enviable trick of being better than the series that spawned it. A more rounded cast of characters, better and longer-term plotting and a more interesting city setting make it one of the best TV series in recent years.

For the eleven people left in the world who don’t know, Angel is a vampire cursed with a soul who leaves the California small town of Sunnydale and heads to LA after his relationship with Buffy the Vampire Slayer turns sour. There he starts a detective agency specializing in ‘unusual’ cases and is joined by ex-cheerleader Cordelia, plus comedy Irish half-demon Doyle and eventually rubbish ex-watcher Wesley.

Series 1 concerns itself mainly with establishing the characters and format, and introducing what is surely Angel’s strong point as a series – the shadowy evil (or at least morality-free) law firm Wolfram & Hart. Crossover appearances from Buffy are thankfully kept to a minimum, and Angel is allowed to develop independently.

Pulling out specific episodes would be nit-picking, as the standard is so high throughout – once you’ve got past the first couple that is, as they are substandard X Files episodes with extra teeth. The series finale is, of course, excellent, and ends on a twist which is guaranteed to have you ordering Series 2 within seconds of the credits rolling!

Angel

I really enjoyed both Angel and Buffy when they were shown on tv but i missed a few of the episodes so getting the full season for rental was great as i didnt need to watch the episodes i had already seen but was able to catch up on the ones i missed.

Simply the best!

Angel is simply the best TV show ever created. If you've nevr seen this show, You don't know what your missing. However you may need some knowledge of the world of Buffy to follow some of the storylines. BUT YOU MUST WATCH THIS!!!!!!!

The best of Angel

In my opinion the best Angel series, plenty of humour interlaces the slightly dated effects along with gentle development of the characters. Great to see again after seeing the later episodes.

You won't be disappointed.

Better than Buffy

I'm not always to sure about a spin off series, but this is definetly as good - if not better than Buffy.

The first season of Angel ended on a relative high note, but only because the bar hadn't been set very high by the preceeding episodes. There was nothing wrong with any of them...they were watchable and entertaining, some were even good. But until the end, I didn't feel driven to see more. There was very little, if any, overarching uber-plot, which is something I actually like in a series. The cliffhanger for the season is definately effective, I've signed up for season 2, but I'm not expecting anything but in inoffensive substitute for "nothings on" nights of Television.

Loved it

I you liked Buffy you will also like Angel. It takes a more adult approach though. And anyway it's got to be worth a look to check out David Boreanaz fangs!!!! Fab!

Love it.

Let's be honest, it is trashy and it is teenage -

but having said that, I loved it and found it completely addictive
