Angel - Season 1 (DVD)

The spin off show has had a mixed success through TV history. 'Mork and Mindy' was a solo hit of huge proportions after its separation from 'Happy Days'. Unfortunately, for the actors planning their careers off the back of another successful show, a spin off does not always means success; just ask the redundant cast and crew of 'Joey'. During the late 1990s there was one science fiction show that had the teens tuned in each week, 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. Its mix of action, comedy and relationship drama made it resonate with many people. In this show one relationship dominated; that of Buffy and vampire with a soul Angel. With the storyline between the two coming ...  Read the complete review

You know UK television output is in a sorry state when the majority of the best programmes are created across the pond. This has been the situation for a few years now and a lot of youth orientated programming has been provided by the americans. While the likes of Dawsons Creek seem to just play for a youngger audience the likes of Buffy seem to appeal to a lot of older people as well. This could be due to the fact that as the seasons have progressed, storyline's have been more adult orientated and engrossing. That's why I like Buffy, it's smart, funny, clever, dramatic and a lot more. At the end of Season 3 we saw the troubled relationship of Buffy and Angel ...  Read the complete review

Having reviewed Buffy seasons one to seven, I figure that I may as well move on to reviewing the spin-off show, Angel. Whilst I don't think Angel holds a candle to Buffy, it's still a very good show and gives you the other side of the story to some of the Buffy plots. --Investigating Angel-- A little bit about the show itself before I get into the review of the season one box set.

Like the title suggests, the show revolves around Angel - the vampire with a soul, who is on a mission of redemption. At the end of Buffy's season three, Angel left Sunnydale ...  Read the complete review

~ Soul of Angel - Angel- Season 1~ Being a spin off from Buffy The vampire Slayer I was instantly interested when Angel was first released. Angel being my favourite character from Buffy left the Buffy series at the end of series three and I was gutted. When I heard David Borenaz was doing his own series I was excited and anxious to see if it was going to be as good as Buffy. ~ ANGEL? ~ For those of you who have not seen or heard about the series before Angel is an American spin off series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

After being a regular on the hit TV series Buffy The Vampire Slayer for its first three seasons Buffy's big love - Angel the ensouled vampire left for LA to seek his own path of redemption and to put an end to the pair's turbulent relationship. Whilst I had never really liked David Boreanaz in 'Buffy' - once given his own show he finally manages to step out of her shadow and make a brilliant impression. As a spinoff from it's popular parent show 'Angel' continues the Buffy mythology though the show has a much darker tone for its first season that may be unattractive to some viewers of Buffy as the light, witty dialogue and theatrical style of Buffy are ...  Read the complete review
