Angel Seasons 1-5
December 1, 2008
What better than to have the collection of David Boreanaz than this. I especially loved the last season because Charisma Carpenter is not in it. As a Buffy fan I do not agree on friends or acquaintances as a supposed love for Angel. Anyone but her
Buffy fans MUST have!

If you're a fan of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" then you MUST have this! Of course Angel is the love of Buffy's life, but this spin-off is a show that can stand alone...save for a few brief visits from Sunnydale's finest slayer of vampires!
I don't have this particular DVD set, but I do own every episode and find the presentation here to look much nicer than the one I do have.
Great show

I never watched much of Angel when it was on the air. I didn't watch Buffy either, but I had always wanted to watch both based on the reviews and word of mouth. I saw just enough to tantalize but I always was reticent about diving into something half way through.
So earlier this year I bought the entire Buffy series on DVD and watched it in about two months, from start to finish. It went beyond my expectations with the great writing, intriguing stories, and interesting characters. So after finishing it I ended up getting Angel, to see where his story led to after he left Sunnydale.
Though both series were different I appreciated how they tied together for the four years they were on at the same time.
Buffy always had a more specific path to follow whereas Angel is much more meandering, with no real "Big Bad" that haunts him throughout an entire season. We get to see Angel and the supporting cast all shift, change, transform, and mature in so many different ways throughout the series, making it easy for me to attach to them and enjoy them both at their best and worst.
People have told me that Angel was darker than Buffy. For me, it was more that he did not have a specific path to follow. "We help the helpless" was the mantra for a long time but even with that it gets a little hazy in Angel's world as to what is supposed to happen. For Buffy, it was always clearer. At least the big picture.
Both series have so much to offer for fans that it would be hard for me to say which I liked better. Most of the folks who would think to pick up either series on DVD probably already have their minds made up and were previous fans. So I consider myself lucky that I was able to cough up the dough for both series and was able to watch them both, for the first time, episode to episode, back to back.

I love this TV show! It compact! I find it funny to see David Boreanaz face on the side of the DVD cases :) I also like the letter from Joss Whedon. But i wish it had more bouns featues i thought they could do a special disc for it but they did not. but other then that It great any one who is a fan would love it.

Loved the show, had to have the set replaced though because some of the DVDs would not play, or skipped. Amazon replaced them ASAP though. Thanks!!
