[quote name='jimbodan']I like Buffy, but I've yet to see an episode of Angel. My mom is just about done with season Buffy season 6 and will be getting season 7 for christmas, so she'll need a new Buffy fix soon, I figure Angel is the closest thing[/quote]
IMO Angel season one does really well IMO, especially if you like Buffy season four (as I happen to) and watch them together.
Season two is good, and three and four continue with some fairly depressing but interesting storylines. I missed a good bit of season five, but I'm glad they ended it when they did, rather than let it drag on for another season or two (it seemed like they were struggling with the story in season five).
