"If you need help, then look no further. Angel Investigations is the best. Our rats are low..."''"Rates!"''"It says 'rats.' Our rates are low, but our standards are high. When the chips are down, and you're at the end of your rope you need someone that you can count on. And that's what you'll find here -- someone who will go all the way, no matter what. So don't lose hope. Come on over to our offices and you'll see that there's still heroes in this world."''''For over two centuries, Angelus was one of the most vicious vampires ever to walk the earth. Then he killed the wrong girl, and her grieving Gypsy family cursed him with the return of his soul, causing him to suffer remorse for all the hundreds of innocents that he had killed through the years. Now he goes by the name Angel, and he fights to protect the helpless from those who would prey upon them as he once did himself.''''After three years of living in Sunnydale, fighting alongside his girlfriend Buffy, Angel has moved to Los Angeles to continue the good fight. Aided by a few old friends and some new ones, Angel must take on vampires, demons, lawyers, and all of the other dark forces that Los Angeles has to offer.moreless

    This show is a classic to me after he left buffy the vampire, pretty much its a branch off of buffy the vampire. We got to see more of angel and it never felt disappointed. I love most of all the investigations and the the some of buffy's old team joined angel. I loved the beginning, middle and end of this show and it's a great journey to go through. It has a lot of butt kicking action and keep u at the edge of your seat. Comparing this to Bones is totally different in so many ways its in a different category, their both good in there own right. I see as an actor he's matured a lot when playing on Bones it shows. I thought Angel ended to quickly for only 6 seasons I think they made a great mistake. But, hey maybe we wouldn't have BONES!!! :Dmoreless

    The show centers upon a dark hero driven by his shame - an unforgiving guilt inflamed by an overwrought sense of empathy for the all the sins he committed. This drive pushes the hero to violently prevent victimization almost as if it would redeem him from his past. At times the writing would go into directions that seemed to indicate that almost anything could happen...the fantasy suffered from having almost no bounds and needed a bit more structure. Still, an entertaining show that is missed after all these years.moreless

    Fascinating/charming/brilliant and yetlovableensemble cast; quirkyvillainsand guest characters with terrific back stories and makeup work.
    The writers have done a fabulous job making us care about a group of bizarre do-gooders who join together to fight "evil" in so many strange forms.
    The show manages to have a whimsical often hilarious and wacky humor, yet be extremely touching, allowing us to fall in love with each of the very different characters as they travel through remarkably original story arch's.

  • The best TV series that has ever been on, only criticism is that it only went for 5 seasons. Better than Buffy!

    I rewatch the entire series every 12 months or so, and absolutely love the way the characters develop and change. One of the best combinations of action and comedy, with a killer storyline for each season and the overall show. Such a shame that it ended after only 5 seasons.

    "Poor"
    By jeshide, Sep 06, 2011 Report Abuse
    I severely lament the direction Angel (as a whole) has gone. I have not read any of the comics, nor do I intend to as I began to lose serious interest with the show and story about half way through the second TV season. By the time I reached the last TV episode I was not only unimpressed but disappointed and felt unfulfilled. This show had such high potential; it is upsetting to see it face-plant to the ground. It turned into an Inu Yasha or Xena in the way that there is never a real solid plot, each episode is almost entirely self serving and there isn't a settled end in sight. It was almost as if the writers wanted to make the story so complicated and so involved that the series became too complicated and ended up being confusing and contradictive. Many of the characters I felt were pivotal in the story were killed off or manipulated into pathetic roles, specifically in the case of Cordelia and Wesley. I enjoyed the first season immensely and wished the plot as whole was similar to the first season. It became too cheesy, too splat, too complicated, too predictable and too redundant. I felt as though the writers were struggling to scratch the bottom of the barrel for more thrills and plot twists so badly that they missed sight of the direction of the plot. It was all about shock value after a while. And as a side note, as was brought up early on in the series, I wanted to see Angel achieve humanity a plot element that was almost entirely missed, though his fate was briefly mentioned in the last TV episode of the fifth season. How terribly disappointing.moreless
