dyellow-38902 Having been and still a big fan of Buffy the Vampire slayer, I was pleased to see that Joss Whedon was making a TV series about Angel. Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. The first few seasons were good but it kind of went down hill from there. I really don't want to be harsh about Angel but it felt like they were running out of ideas towards the end. Some of the characters were brilliant though especially Lorne and of Course Angel. It wasn't all bad and some of the episodes where really good. Looking back on the creation of Angel the TV series I don't think they should have done it. Maybe they could have put some of them ideas in to making a few more series of Buffy instead. Which in my opinion would have worked out better.
tacanderson My wife and I had just finished binge watching our latest show and were looking for something different. We're huge Joss Whedon fans and watched Buffy from the first airing until the last, but never really got into Angel. It was on a different night of the week and just never picked it up. But we've been fans of Grimm since it aired and the creator of Grimm, David Greenwalt, was co-creator of Angel with Joss. So we decided to give it a try. Darker than Buffy, and not as much humor, but still plenty of great lines and funny moments. The first season is a little rough. This is 12 years old now, and it shows a little, and they obviously were still working on smaller budgets. It's still great nostalgic fun, and you get to see lots of actors who went on to do other things make guest appearances.
SnoopyStyle Angelus is a vampire cursed with a human soul. He decides to leave Sunnydale and Buffy Summers after the finale of the 3rd season of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. He moves to Los Angeles where he battles the big bad and protect the helpless. He meets helpful Allen Doyle (Glenn Quinn) who is part demon. On the first case, he runs into Sunnydale alumni Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter) who is trying and failing to break into show business. Another Sunnydale veteran Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (Alexis Denisof) joins him as well as new people Charles Gunn (J. August Richards), Lorne (Andy Hallett) and Fred (Amy Acker).This is a darker, more serious, and more grim spin off of Buffy. The show got off to a rocky start with the loss of Glenn Quinn. He obviously had serious problems and the show stumbled trying to reorganize the group chemistry. They slowly recover as the group adds one character after another. Sure it's darker but it also has its fun comedy. It's a great group of characters.
chintanvora-605-405726 Angel had its links to Buffy, there were crossovers and tie ins, and the similarities at the start of the show were noticeable. But as the seasons progressed and the characters became darker and the plots heavier, it seemed what we were watching was not entirely the same. As times have progressed, it seems audiences desire a darker more gritty version of TV, with shows that don't shy away from the harsher aspects of life, the Wire to name one, are shows favoured for. Angel had its comedic episodes, but the over arching themes were of the dark fight against darkness, being forced into positions where the right path isn't always visible and the seeking of salvation. This show was brilliant, and though it has carried on in comics, it will be sorely missed.
