Summary: Angel Season 1
Review: The first season of Angel was slow to start but gained ground after the character of Doyle died. Once Wesley joined the cast, and Cordelia became more of a player, the show grew in leaps in bounds. While this season wasn't the strongest, it did a good job of building for a great season two. The thing I've enjoyed most about the series Angel, is the fact that Angel himself has grown considerably. We see more aspects of his character and he no longer stays confined to the role of Buffy's love interest. Cordelia also changes for the better. She's no longer the shallow or cruel person she was in high school, becoming likable, even more so when she inherits Doyles visions. All in all, the Angel series is highly recommended. Even in the darkness of the show there are moments of true humor. (Especially when Angel dances!)

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Good Start, But It Lacks The Power Behind Buffy
Review: The title explains it all. Buffy was so well drawn, so perfectly connected. It had a tangible end to the first season, and a supporting mid-season ensemble. But the same cannot be said for Angel. I love the series, but eh first season just lacks the coherence of Buffy, something that will be made up for in later seasons of the show.

The show begins off somewhat well, but not as well as Buffy. However this is quickly made right when the middle of the season hits. The mid-season episodes have power and deliverance which make Angel a must have. But the season culminates somewhat more lacking. After an awesome season, the end is weak. It just does not leave you gasping for air, begging for more. The battles within the season finale are horrible short, and disgustingly weak. The only thing that even makes the season finale worth watching is the very end. And the very end is more than likely the only reason that viewers returned for a second season. Which is what I reccomend.

A lot of mental growth occurs during the first season, which is neccesary to understand Season II. And Season II is a must have. Perfect chemistry between the characters, the plots more smooth and less forced. Excellent recurring villains and you begin to finally understand the place Wolfram and Hart plays in the lives of the cast.

All in all, Angel Season I is a must have simply for the sake of knowledge. I give it 3 stars, simply because of the poor quality of the begginning and end of the season, and the ease of pointing out the stunt doubles from the real actors. Other than that, watch this season. After you see it, you'll have what you need to fully enjoy the second season, which is a rush.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great first season
Review: Buffy's undead love has moved to the big city of Los Angeles. With a colorful cast of supporting characters, he establishes a detective agency to 'help the hopeless', and to battle the evil lawfirm: Wolfram and Hart.

While this season has is flawed episodes, overall it is one of the better shows on television. The show it spun from, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, set the bar for quality high, and Angel does its best to reach it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Angel Season One
Review: This is probably one of the best if not the best seasons of this show. I have recorded all the seasons on vhs and enjoy watching them over and over again. Can't wait for season 2.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Picks up speed
Review: As recent discovers of Buffy, we knew the back story of Angel. This helped carry us through the first few episodes which were a little slow and cheesey. By the end of the set, we have gotten engaged with the new characters and the series seems to have its pace and we look forward to the next season being available.

Slight warning, Angel is a little darker and grittier than Buffy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Angel - One of The Best Shows On TV
Review: This is a great dvd collection to have, of one of the hottest shows on tv right now, this is the start of it all, where Charisma Carpenter(Cordella) and Angel, along with Alex (Wesley) form a group, after they all have departed Buffy from Season 3, to save the people of LA and help Angel with his problems!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally Awesome!
Review: The best DVDs I've ever purchased and will definitely be purchasing all the others. Being a huge, I mean huge fan of the show, I couldn't wait to get my S1 DVDs. Angel and company are simply the best at what they do...bar none. I've always enjoyed watching the broody vamp with a soul and his cohorts in action. Top-notch show, with some of the best fight scenes I've ever seen on TV. And it get's better with each season. I'm really enjoying. The quality of the S1 DVDs is excellent. The clarity superb. Can't wait for S2...already pre-ordered with Amazon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!!! A must have!!
Review: This show is one of my favorites of all time, and it continues the great tradition of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but in a brand new world all on its own. If you enjoy Buffy, you'll love Angel as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Perfect
Review: I admit it. I have never really liked Buffy the Vampire Slayer that much. But this show is completely perfect. After my sister got me into it it, I have ben watching the 4th, 5th and 6th seasons on TV. Even though I had never seen the first season, I really wanted to see it.

Angle first comes to LA to do a little business, and runs into Cordelia Chase, and Doyle. He gets together with Westly Pierce and Charles Gunn later. When he gets his group together, Angel forms Angel investigations. Him and his group go out and slay vampires and kill ugly demons.

My favorite episode is when Angel runs into Charles Gunn and his gang who are fighting a group of vampires who have came into their area. That episode and many of the others are filled with action and also make stunning performances. I think everyone should by the series.
