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. n 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 iest 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!
