Editorial Review:
Even as Angel mourns the death of Buffy, Darla makes her way to L.A. with a mysterious new life growing within her. Now thrust into a role he never imagined, Angel needs the assistance of the Angel Investigations team more than ever. But while Cordelia, Gunn and Fred rally round the new dad, an ancient and deadly prophecy convinces Wesley to commit the ultimate betrayal.
Description of Angel - Season Three:
In the third season of Angel, the titular vampire with a soul was forced to stand alone thanks to the (temporary) death of his beloved Buffy and her show's move to a new network, with no crossover between the two allowed. He returns from seeking peace in a demon-haunted monastery to find the L.A. Angel Investigations team fighting supernatural crime in his absence. Fred is still haunted by the nightmare dimension from which they rescued her; Cordelia's visions get ever more painful and debilitating. The schemes of the evil law firm Wolfram and Hart become every more imaginative and dragon lady Lilah Morgan becomes even more of an enemy when lusting after Angel. Unbelievably, Darla, Angel's vampire sire and lover, turns up, pregnant with his child and is tortured by inexplicable motherly feelings as well as a raging thirst for human blood.
For a few episodes things go pretty well--but Angel's enemies, both those he has made in his quest for redemption and those he made when he was unadulterated evil, are still out there. Stephanie Romanov comes into her silky own in this series, making Lilah Morgan all the more seductively evil because she is clear about the choices she has made; the satanic law firm of Wolfram and Hart are this show's most inspired creation. As the season moves to its close, Wesley (Alexis Denisof) has hard choices to make. The devastating climax is compulsive viewing, and this season also contains one of the most impressive single episodes of the entire show: in "Waiting in the Wings," writer, director and creator Joss Whedon comes up with a classic ghost story as Angel and his crew go to the ballet and find a performance that is literally timeless. --Roz Kaveney
Angel - Season Three Reviews:
deb 
2009-09-10 - I was very pleased with the quick service and perfect condition of my purchase. I would order from this vendor again.
GET IT NOW IT'S A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2009-09-02 - I LOVE this season. I can't decide whether I like season 2 or 3 more. I love the growth of Cordy's character through the seasons. Some have a hard time seeing how Cordy can change, but people don't usually stay the same people they were in High School and as you could see from the Cordy/Xander relationship (even though she didn't show it to Xander, if you actually watch you can see she really did love him and she's had a good heart, it was just guarded) and Cordy actually helping Buffy in seasons 1-3 of Buffy's series Cordy did actually have a heart. It was just hidden under her trying to fit in, in high school until that's how you've become (in high school you don't really know how you are so you usually go with what feels comfortable or for a lot of people whatever makes you cool and popular, which was what Cordy had done). In season 1 when she was given the visions and that demon attacked her with all the pain of everyone in the world it started to change her (think, if you could feel the pain of EVERY SINGLE PERSON ON THE PLANET for God knows how long before Angel came and saved you from it, wouldn't you want to help them if you could)? Whenever Cordy got a vision she felt the pain, fear, and everything else that person was feeling and that would change anyone and it changed Cordy. Slowly, but surely. If you were to actually sit back and think about it and how you'd be in that same situation you might actually see how someone could care about helping others. Wes saw it in her because they became really close (like brother and sister) and Angel was so wrapped up in his own crap with Darla that he forgot about his friends and he didn't even notice that Cordy was changing. When Wes brought it to his attention Angel actually started to look at Cordy and realize it himself and if you notice in certain little gestures you could tell in season 3 he was going to fall for her.
I'm honestly a Spike/Buffy, Angel/Cordy fan so I can't understand why people are so up in arms about the Angel/Cordy ship, but what Buffy and Angel had was more of a high school first love thing and what Cordy and Angel had was deeper. It was a friendship that grew into love and I honestly don't think any adult that went back and watched it would see Buffy and Angel as anything more then that. If you like Buffy and Angel together, you might just want to watch the Twilight series. Bella and Edward are basically Buffy and Angel (you can tell the author got the idea from the Buffy series) except Buffy fights evil. The fans of Buffy and Angel that aren't so hung up on Angel/Buffy will LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE season 3. It's an amazing season.
angel season 3 
2009-06-29 - the dvds were scratched and could not be played in the dvd i had to use a cleaner to get them to work and they would only work in my laptop.
could have been better 
2009-05-01 - unfortunately this is the most lackluster angel season in the series. the whole connor-holtz story is really boring and repetitive. Holtz didn't really feel like a cool vampire hunter like Van helsing or blade. he doesn't have that kind of flair about him like lindsey or spike. that story arc doesn't really start to redeem it's self until the end of season 4! in spite of this there are a few gems among the rocks:
. the story between darla and angel comes full circle. the ultimate decision she makes is moving.
. it's interesting to see how angel handles the results of that decision. we get to see a new side of him
. Wesley' change at the end leads him to interesting and dark places. it makes him stronger and more interesting.
every series has it's worst season and best season. this is the worst one and 5 is the best. if you want to finish the series you'll need the main story arcs in this one to understand some of the following seasons arcs. while it's not torture you may want fast forward the boring parts.
Another great season
2008-12-29 - After almost five years I'm still sad the show ended. Why!? Because of a season like 3. Sure, David was not getting any younger, but two more season would have been great... at least we have After the Fall. In this season Angel had to deal with a lot of things: death of a beloved, fatherhood, betrayal, losses and love. He had to feel more human emotions than in any other season in his or in Buffy's time. The way it as written made us know much more of the man behind the brooding guy, we could relate to every one of these emotions and feel sorry for the characters in the season. It felt real, it was real. In the end, we had a human vampire, not only a vampire with a soul... or a show. He had to grow up. Besides, another character in the show suffered a 360ยบ change. What to say!? Wonderfully cast and written, it is one of the two ever shows in TV... of course, the other being Buffy.
