Angel - Series 3 - Complete (DVD)

Advantages: Sets up characters and scenarios for later seasons | Angel seems less whingey
Disadvantages: No story arc | No 5.1 Sound

...exceptional as I anticipated they would be. ---The Boxset--- The six DVDs in this set are presented in a hardback book format, where each DVD has it's own "page" complete with protective sleeve. This book then slips into a sturdy cardboard sleeve, which is somewhat larger than a standard DVD case. This format is followed through Season 2-6 of Buffy as well as the remaining seasons of Angel. Each of the boxsets have a different colour theme, and this one is blue with a picture of Angel on the front with silver lettering. All in all it's very well presented, and looks very good displayed alongside my Buffy sets. ---The Discs--- The six discs are very nicely printed with characters (both good and evil) from the season, and I really must say the printing is better than anything I could have produced myself (I tried when I was attempting...

Advantages: All 22 episodes of the final season in one boxset | Smile Time |

...Having reviewed Buffy seasons one to seven, I figure that I may as well move on to reviewing the spin-off show, Angel. Whilst I don't think Angel holds a candle to Buffy, it's still a very good show and gives you the other side of the story to some of the Buffy plots. --Investigating Angel-- A little bit about the show itself before I get into the review of the season one box set. Angel the series is a spin-off show from the very successful Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Like the title suggests, the show revolves around Angel - the vampire with a soul, who is on a mission of redemption. At the end of Buffy's season three, Angel left Sunnydale and headed to LA - which is where this series takes place. He's only been there a short while when he accrues a gang and opens a business - Angel Investigations - who aim to help the helpless... Read review
