Angel - Series 3 - Complete (DVD)

Angel goes solo.

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 ...

Angel Gets Cancelled

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

When the last episode of Buffy aired I was disappointed, but I took some comfort from the fact that the spin-off show, Angel would not only continue to run, but would also feature my all-time favourite character (Spike). So I started watching Angel from season five (yes this season), in the hope of satisfying my Spike addiction, found myself hooked (if a little confused) and then sorely disappointed when it was announced mid-way through the season that this would be the last ever season of Angel as well. As, I'd already got interested in the show, (and being too impatient to wait for it to be shown on TV again) I decided to buy myself a complete collection of the five seasons on DVD. Season One, was pretty good and got me hooked, Two was better, Three was superb, then season four was slightly disappointing. But the question is, was ...

The City of Angels

Advantages: Some very good episodes
Disadvantages: Some very bad episodes

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 ...
