Angel - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

...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 ...
...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. That's the basic premise of the show, for the first season at least. As with all ongoing shows, the plots and characters become more and more complex as time progresses. --Characters-- The lead character is, obviously, ...

Angel - Season One 22 Episodes on 6 Discs Cast: David Boreanaz - Angel Charisma Carpenter - Cordelia Chase Glenn Quinn - Alan Francis Doyle Alexis Denisof - Wesley Wyndam-Pryce Plot: Well Angel the series is about a Vampire with a soul trying to atone for his previous sins as an evil vampire, Angel is the spin off of the popular Joss Whedon show; Buffy The Vampire Slayer, so along with Angel, a few other Buffyverse characters come to Los Angeles ...
...Well the first season of Angel is very good and is of similar standard to the first three seasons of Buffy. The Creator of Buff The Vampire Slayer; Joss Whedon also had a big role in writing and directing the first season of Angel which shows in its quality, This is one of the few shows that watching on DVD is not as good as it was watching when it first aired, purely for the fact that over here in england, Buffy and Angel aired together on the same ...

Review of Angel - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

Angel is a spin-off from the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Although it was aimed at fans of Buffy, you can still enjoy this series if you haven't seen much or any of Buffy. I don't know why this DVD has been put in the horror section, since it's not scary. Angel (David Boreanas) is a vampire cursed with a soul, recently moved to LA. Shortly after his arrival, he meets Doyle (Glenn Quinn), a part-demon who receives visions from the Powers That ...
...as an actress, she convinces Angel to start up a private investigation company, Angel Investigations, looking into the demonic activities and saving the innocent. Also joining the cast, later in the series, is Wesley (Alexis Denisof), a fired Watcher turned demon hunter, and not doing very well at this job. What makes this show so original is its bad guys. Although it contains a mix of demons and vampires similar to those in Buffy, the main villains ...
