The spin-off series to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Compared to it it has a darker setting. The main theme can be describe as the fight against evil never ends no matter how hard you fight. There will be always new threads (Evil wont stopThe spin-off series to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Compared to it it has a darker setting. The main theme can be describe as the fight against evil never ends no matter how hard you fight. There will be always new threads (Evil wont stop ever). It has the same strengths as Buffy: Great characters, interactions / development, humour and good story arcs. It should be mentioned that the first season is more monster of the week and that the story of season 4 is considered week by half of the fandom (I like both). The later season have an overarching story arc. The characters are awesome. Angel and Spike are often in the top 10 list for Vampires and the additional cast is great (Fred, Wesley, Gunn and Lorne are also praiseworthy). The chemistry between characters is great (Trademark of Joss Wheadon / David Greenwalt). The bad guys shine also. They have a devilish law firm with Wolfram & Hart as main antagonist which make the devils advocate look tame in comparison. In each season you learn more about them (with shocking reveals). The later story arcs are fantastic and will make you think. Season 3 about true forgiveness and what you would do for revenge, in season 4 for the price for world peace / sacrifices and in the final season 5 about the price of power and your solution (The premise of season 5 is surprisingly awesome; I wont spoil it here). The humour is also great. There are good episodes for it especially in season 5 (The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco and Smile Time). The conclusion in the final season is fitting for the theme but will anger / annoy some people. Overall this is a series that deserved more season and is worth watching.… Expand

I was very bored and was left in dull angst by the time I finished each episode.
