Editorial Review:
As the fourth season of Angel starts, everything is still as we left it: Angel has been sunk to the bottom of the sea in an iron box by his inexplicable and vindictive son Connor and Cordelia has been summoned to higher realms to await orders. Gunn and Fred are left in the Hyperion Hotel, unsure about what has happened to their friends, and Lilah is working hard to seduce Wesley to the dark side. In the first few episodes, some of this is resolved but it's almost immediately replaced by far worse crises: prophesies of doom accumulate more rapidly even than usual in this wonderfully gloomy show and a horned rock-like beast rains fire on Los Angeles. This last year is Angel's most tightly dramatic season yet--with a story arc of surprising intensity punctuated by the show's usual wit and sexiness.Season 4 is presented on DVD in Dolby 2.0 Surround Sound and anamorphic widescreen. It comes with insightful, and often hilarious, commentaries on seven of the 22 episodes as well as featurettes--a series overview, profiles of the characters of Jasmine and the Beast, a farewell to the Hyperion Hotel (the characters' base for three seasons), and a discussion of the apocalypse that Angel has to deal with from episode 7 onwards). --Roz Kaveney

Ah - A trip down memory lane - and really not bad, even today! 5 out of 5 stars.

The Space Angel was one of those early sixties cartoon that came out early in the space race. As noted by others, the Space Angel was done by the same folks who did Clutch Cargo, which became a bit of cult favorite because the voice sync was done by superimposing actors' moving lips on still drawings. In effect, what you have is someone animating a comic book - good to excelent art work, but very limited animation. But, it is this wonderful art work that redeems Space Angel - notably that by Alex Toth, who helped on Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, and a host of others. And really, the plots are not too bad - and the science is reasonably accurate - yeah, it gets strained at times - but really the basics are there.
So, an enjoyable trip down memory lane - the prints and sound tracks are in excellent shape! Well worth its modest price!
thrilling days of yesteryear!!!!

I'M OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING BUT
BLACK & WHITE TV'S!!! I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS SHOW AS A KID--AMAZED
AT THE VISUALS/ARTWORK OF THE SHOW!! NOT REALIZING THAT THE GREAT ALEX TOTH
DID ALL THE WORK. NEVER--REALIZING THAT THE SHOW WAS IN COLOR!!!
I EVEN REMEMBER TRYING TO DRAW THE ROCKET!!!
I WAS FACINATED BY THE SUPERIMPOSED HUMAN MOUTHES DOING THE DIALOG.
IT'S REALLY FUN WATCHING THIS STUFF AGAIN. I REALLY HAVE'NT BUMPED INTO THIS
SERIES OVER THE YEARS.
IT JUST BRINGS BACK FOND MEMORIES WHEN ADVENTURE WAS SIMPLE & PURE-FUN!!

Season 1: The vampire Angelus, now known as Angel, has a human soul, but committed terrible crimes in the past. Seeking forgiveness and trying to redeem himself, he moves from Sunnydale (and a relationship with Buffy Summers, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer) to Los Angeles, where he helps the downtrodden by thwarting the supernatural creatures that prey on them.
Season 2: Angel continues to seek redemption, but a fatal mistake makes him realize that racking up the body count isn't the way to go. So with a renewed sense of purpose and Cordelia, Wesley and Gunn at his side, Angel sets out to make the streets of Los Angeles a little safer for everyone - unaware that Wolfram & Hart has summoned someone from his past to make sure he fails.
Season 3: 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.
Season 4: With both Angel and Cordelia still missing, Fred, Gunn and Connor try to keep Angel Investigations running while they search for their friends. Ironically, the man who everyone believes betrayed Angel is the one who finally comes to Angel's rescue. Then Cordelia mysteriously reappears with no memory of her life or her friends. Confused, she chooses to take refuge with Connor—setting into motion events that will alter their lives forever.
Season 5: The Angel Investigations team is stunned when the Senior Partners of Wolfram and Hart give them control of the L.A. office. The gang quickly moves in, and although everyone is delighted at the amazing resources they now have at their command, they can't stop wondering what the catch is. But the biggest mystery of all revolves around a small package Angel receives containing an amulet and a handful of dust—which coalesces into a very-much-alive Spike.

And the final Saint Something Four is revealed!

Angel - Season One
He's hunky, he's brooding, he's a do-gooder, and he was Buffy's first boyfriend. Angel, the tortured vampire destined to walk the earth with a soul, got his own series after three seasons on Buffy the Vampire Slayerand did what any new star might do: he moved to L.A. (the City of Angels--get it?) and set up shop. Angel (co-created by Buffy mastermind Joss Whedon) finds the titular vampire (David Boreanaz) as a kind of supernatural private investigator, fighting evil one case at a time and, like his ex-girlfriend, keeping the world from getting destroyed by vengeful demons and such. This first season features guest appearances by various Buffy characters, including werewolf boy Oz (Seth Green), rogue slayer Faith (Eliza Dushku), deliciously evil vamp Darla (Julie Benz), and Buffy herself (Sarah Michelle Gellar), all of whom helped get the show off and running in style.Angel - Season Two
The second season of Angel, saw the cult vampire show finally stand on its own from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, assembling all the members of the show's core cast, transferring the action to a fashionably run-down L.A. hotel, and bringing in a few Buffy characters from Angel's history to further establish the moody vampire's own mythology. Moving their Angel Investigations to posher digs, Angel (David Boreanaz), Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter), and Wesley (Alexis Denisof) were soon joined by street fighter (J. August Richards)--and by street fighter, of course we mean demon street fighter. But just as this group was solidifying, up popped Angel's old love, Darla (the fantastic Julie Benz), freshly arrived in L.A. from a hell dimension… just in time to be turned into a vampire again by her old cohort, Drusilla (Juliet Landau), and lure Angel into abandoning his newly formed team.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.Angel - Season Four
As the fourth season of Angel, starts, everything is still as we left it: Angel has been sunk to the bottom of the sea in an iron box by his inexplicable and vindictive son Connor and Cordelia has been summoned to higher realms to await orders. Gunn and Fred are left in the Hyperion Hotel, unsure about what has happened to their friends, and Lilah is working hard to seduce Wesley to the dark side. In the first few episodes, some of this is resolved but it's almost immediately replaced by far worse crises: prophesies of doom accumulate more rapidly even than usual in this wonderfully gloomy show and a horned rock-like beast rains fire on Los Angeles. This last year is Angel's most tightly dramatic season yet--with a story arc of surprising intensity punctuated by the show's usual wit and sexiness.Angel - Season Five
Lives were upended--and some co-opted--in the fifth and final season of Angel, as the denizens of Angel Investigations found themselves taking on one of their scariest endeavors ever: corporate life. After making a literal deal with the devil (or something distinctly devil-like), Angel (David Boreanaz) moved his team from their crumbling hotel to the high-rise digs of law-firm-from-hell Wolfram & Hart, his reasoning being they could better fight the forces of evil from the inside, and with more resources to boot. Clever maneuvering or easy rationalization? Not a few members of Angel's team accused him of selling out (as did a number of viewers), but as with most of the show's previous four seasons, Angel somehow took a dubious premise and mined it for gold. And with one core cast member gone (Charisma Carpenter, whose Cordelia was immersed in a deep coma), it seemed as if the show, from within and without, would suddenly fall apart--that is, until Angel's longtime nemesis Spike (James Marsters) showed up, fresh from his sacrificial roasting at the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Let the vampire games begin!

My favorite show *sigh* 5 out of 5 stars.
14 of 15 people found this review helpful.
My son, when he was in college, got us hooked on Buffy. Buffy was so much more than a vampire show. It was about growing up. When Buffy ended we bought Angel season one. We continued to buy Angel until we had all 5 seasons. We couldn't watch season 5 on TV because the station we watched it on would preempt it with basketball.
Angel takes us into young adulthood. There is drama and action but what hooked us on Angel (and Buffy) was the humor. The writers were so creative. All of the characters were multi-faceted but the Angel team all wanted to do "the right thing" at great personal cost sometimes.
We actually delayed watching the last episode because we didn't want Angel to be over and done. But this is the type of show that one can watch over and over again. I guess we will have to buy all the Buffy episodes next.
die hard fan 5 out of 5 stars.

I was (and still am) a die hard fan of buffy like I am one of the few people that know that tera is Allergic to shell fish. so when angel came out I was at first hessetent to watch it. but my boy-friend made me watch one show and I fell in love... like buffy season one starts off slow starting by telling his past how he got there then meeting up with an old sunnydale friend. this series has as much plot twist as buffy and I would tell any one that like's buffy has got to watch angel. there are some stuff that makes more sence if you watch them both and some stuff are totaly more funny if you watch them both.
