A Strong Series That Bears Repeated Viewing

I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer from the first episode to the last, and have seen the series several times. I watched Angel all the way through as well, but have only watched the collection through a second time recently.

My initial impression of Angel was that the series at first had a hard time finding its way, then got both too serialized and too dark. I maintain both these impressions but, upon repeat viewing, I found myself enjoying the series much more than I had the first time around.

Angel, IMO, won't ever quite measure up to the quality of BtVS, but it's still a terrific series, with strong moments and relative consistency throughout. There are parts of Season 4 and Season 5 that are disappointing, but the show as a whole did well.

As for the collection, the production values are excellent, the modularized box is terrific (small amount of shelf space required), and the extras (mostly cast commentary and featurettes) are worthwhile. If you are looking to buy a collected series, this is a good one to have. The presentation is excellent and it is a good value for your money. And, of course, the show is darn good. July 28, 2008

Angel box set

Just received my Angel box set and very very happy. The box set looks fantastic really well designed and dvds play perfectly.I cant believe I waited so long to check out this series. Treat yourself to the box set it looks fantastic and check out Angel after the fall comics to see what happened after show ended. July 17, 2008

Excellent show!

This a very good show. Sure, it is a spin-off to the beloved "Buffy" - but "Angel" holds up on it's own as a great, entertaining show. Well-acted with great plot. It's important to know that the two shows crossover - meaning they are meant to be watched together. Angel starts up parallel to Buffy's season 4. Watch the two shows together (alternate eps) and it's way better. Specifically, "Fool For Love" and "Darla" and "The Harsh Light Of Day" and "In the Dark".

Outstanding

I absolutely love this series. I love that Amazon offered the complete series at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the box would not fit in my DVD case, so I had to discard it. I love David in this, and I love that the series breaks the usual concept of a vampire. I'm loving David in his new series, "Bones," but I keep waiting for his face to change when things get rough. I wasn't a big fan of "BuffY" when it first came out, but watching "Angel" has convinced me to go back and take a second look. Thank You Amazon. June 20, 2008
