Angel: Seasons 1-5 (Collectors Set) Reviews:
The Lonely Losers No Luck Club 
2009-11-05 - Only the desperate can watch five seasons of this dreadful show. The sensation of warm brains drooling out my ears was wonderful.
A better title for Angel would be "The Lonely Losers No Luck Club".
The tired theme is "LA is Hell and lawyers are demons".
Two good episodes out of five seasons from my estimate.
Movie Collectors Set 
2009-10-30 - These movies I bought were in excellant shape in a beautiful box set and they were gift wrapped very nice.
The time it took to get here was so fast I could not believe their promptness. A Great site to order from forsure and I will continue to order from Amazon.ca.
Collector Sets are the pits 
2009-09-25 - I love the series, my only problem is with the collector sets. It doesn't seem to matter what show it is the collector sets always have bad disk's in them. The quality control is the pits. It might just be that there are just too many disk's in a single package. I have purchased many complete season sets and not had any trouble, but these collector sets are nothing but trouble. You can't get one without bad disk's in it. Plus it takes a long time to watch every one to be sure each disk is good.
Angel tv show 
2009-09-14 -
If your looking for the perfect gift for someone who liked this show. This is it. I had never seen it while it was on but caught three shows on vacation. By the time the three shows were over I was hooked and started looking for it on-line. Amazon had the best price I could find and believe me I searched for quit awhile. I love the dvd's and the nice little box to store them in. Well worth the money.
Not Just Any ol' Spin-Off 
2009-09-08 - The naysayers and detractors will say that 'Angel' was simply riding on the coattails of the popular (and critically acclaimed) BtVS. Like its predecessors 'Melrose Place' (spin-off of 'Beverly Hills 90210') and even further back, 'The Jeffersons' (spun-off of 'All in the Family'), the brilliant Joss Whedon managed to craft a more mature product right from the get-go when 'Angel' premiered on the WB in the Fall of 1999. This was grittier, rawer and edgier than BtVS showed in its infancy. From its inception, 'Angel' explored the dark forces of the main characters' psyches and pushed the envelope with the "monster-of-the-week" format.
The show wasn't without its hitches. I can remember DESPISING Elisabeth Rohm's character of Det. Kate Lockley from the very beginning (she comes from the Jennifer Aniston school of acting-1 note emoting, and its flat). The late Glenn Quinn's character of Francis Doyle-while somewhat charming-didn't mesh quite right with David Boreanaz and Charisma Carpenter. The season 4 storyline of Angel's teenage son Connor (Vincent Kartheiser) and Cordelia was ICKY beyond belief (so upset Joss took it there), and their hell-spawn Jasmine was a waste of time (and Geena Torres' talent).
Luckily the hits were much greater. Boreanaz cements his status as one of TV's greatest vampires ever, while Charisma Carpenter's Cordelia Chase was so much more developed and layered than her short 3 seasons on BtVS. Loved, loved, loved (!) Alexis Denisof as Wesley Wyndham-Price, J. August Richards (now tearing it up on TNT's 'Raising the Bar') as Charles Gunn, the late Andy Hallett (RIP) as the singing Host, Lorne and the fantastic Amy Acker as Winifred "Fred" Burkle (also the demon-goddess Ilyria).
I can't state how disappointing the brass at the defunct WB made me when they canceled 'Angel.' Only getting to see James Marsters (Spike) in approximately 20 episodes was not enough! Payback is a "you all know" though; there's a reason the WB is now known as the defunct WB.
Great packaging, terrific letter from Joss and a quality 5 seasons. ****4.5 stars****
