Angel - Seasons 1-5 30-Disc DVD Set

It's ironic- Buffy the vampire slayer and Angel had to have been the best tv series of my time. Angel seems better than Buffy because some of the people that are involved seem more real- more human than the Buffy series. I'd have to admit- on TNT every morning central time, from 5 am to 7 am they do reruns of Angel and I watch it everyday. I haven't bought this series yet but plan too because it's a must have. What broke my heart is that today the episode of Doyles death was on and for the life of me I had to watch it again. So I found it on YouTube and you know something- I didn't know that Glen who played Doyle died in real life- I didn't know he died from an heroin overdose. It's sad because his character, Doyle- he seemed like an average regular joe and I just loved him because of the way he'd look at Cordelia and she never caught on to him being that infatuated with her almost until it was too late, when he kissed her. I find it so kind of him to give her that gift, his gift- the visions, he found her worthy to have it and to him it meant something. I guess that means Doyle did love Cordelia very much- the courage and strength he had to end his life for others, including his love. That's very romantic and very sad. I can't wait to get this series.

Thanks to Amazon's Gold Box deal, I finally got to get this package of goodness at reasonable prices for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and could not afford to miss it. I loved the series and complete 30-Disc DVD set is just the greatest addition to my collection.

I never really had the time to watch Angel when it came on tv...I saw some episodes, but that was all.
So I gave a shot to this show because of the main actor I saw in Bones. Well, it was really worth the shot!!! The set is in a nice package and contains a lot of funny stuff about the show, like the bloopers reel and some ITW. What I've really appreciated was to see it in wide screen, after the first season in 4:3, the remaining seasons are in 1:78 and in very good quality.
About the show, it grew on me. I found the first season good, and from then it just got better and better! I saw a lot of sci-fi shows in my life, and I have to admit I never found one as good as this one.
The story ark is never boring, they start with a normal story and finish everytime on the edge. The cast is just amazingly too good. They have a lot of complicit moment, they evolve with the show, and David Boreanaz is very believable playing the Vampire with a soul. He has this ability that catches us emotionally and makes great movies. (and it's tv!!)
With Angel, I have laughed, and cried all my tears!!!
So now, I keep the set close to me, and re-watch it, and I still have the same fun!!! And if you plan to watch one episode and go to bed, just forget it!! When you start, the story is so engrossing it's hard to stop!!
To me it had been a great Journey!!!

I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer from the first episode to the last, and have seen the series several times. I watched Angel all the way through as well, but have only watched the collection through a second time recently.

My initial impression of Angel was that the series at first had a hard time finding its way, then got both too serialized and too dark. I maintain both these impressions but, upon repeat viewing, I found myself enjoying the series much more than I had the first time around.

Angel, IMO, won't ever quite measure up to the quality of BtVS, but it's still a terrific series, with strong moments and relative consistency throughout. There are parts of Season 4 and Season 5 that are disappointing, but the show as a whole did well.

As for the collection, the production values are excellent, the modularized box is terrific (small amount of shelf space required), and the extras (mostly cast commentary and featurettes) are worthwhile. If you are looking to buy a collected series, this is a good one to have. The presentation is excellent and it is a good value for your money. And, of course, the show is darn good.

Box had a slightly crunched corner but hey, coulda been the mailman. Was totally stoked with the product, was more than i hoped for.
