Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This six Disk DVD Set is extraordinary. The Picture and Sound quality are so very good that you feel as though you are watching it in a theater. The closed captioning and Audio come in other languages besides English. It's jam packed with all sorts of extra bonus specials. The Brilliant creator, Joss Whedon and other staff members are at their very best, just as they were with their work on Buffy (which is also a must own). I not only highly recommend this Season disk set, but the other four seasons as well. Quite a bit of quality work went into the making of all five seasons. They are a necessary buy for any Angel fan! It's completely impossible to be anything but extremely pleased with this purchase as well as the rest of the series. The writing, acting , directing, etc... are amazing per usual. This is without question once again feature film quality. The fact that all but the first season is filmed in Letter Box gives it that theater feel. In addition, the closed-captioning is less likely to interfere with the picture. David Boreanaz (Angel) and Alexis Denisof (Wes), are brilliant in their performances together as well as with other cast members. I must give extra credit to Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia) in her portrayal of evil Cordy. She does an exceptional job in playing the good girl gone bad without giving away this fact to the other characters. She made it look so easy and it must have been a difficult role to play given that she's used to being good Cordy on Angel. Andy Hallet (Lorne) has a brilliant singing voice as well as a talent for comedy. I love the way he's always speaking to Angel in terms of calling him odd nicknames such as crumb cake or cinnamon buns. It's hard to speak to a very masculine man and yet get away with terms that are very effeminate. He pulls it off beautifully. Amy Acker (Fred) combines a plethora of character traits with amazing talent, playing a sweet, innocent, somewhat crazy (in the beginning of her appearance), brilliant and yet very graceful and sexy woman. These are difficult qualities to combine and make it all believable. She's a really gifted actor. Let us not forget Vincent Kartheiser (Connor) as Angel and Darla's (played by the incomparable Julie Benz) son. For a very young actor he has the natural gift and talent of someone that has been in the business for many years. No matter what incarnation he is playing he does it with absolute believability and gives his all. He has a very bright future should he decide to remain in the business. Joss Whedon once again comes through with continuing to make the show interesting, believable even though it's all fantasy. He does this because he makes the people real and the stories real despite that they are all rooted in non-fiction. I not only highly recommend this Season disk set, but the other four seasons as well. Any true Angel fan must complete their set with this one. It's a keeper folks. Purchase this before it gets sold out and you miss your chance to continue your collection. ORDER IMMEDIATELY AND DON'T FORGET TO BUY SEASON FIVE WHILE YOUR AT IT. Season Five adds James Marsters (Spike) to their cast of characters, and per usual he delivers his untouchable portrayal of another vampire with a soul, yet very different from Angel. The only unfortunate loss is Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia), yet she returns for the 100th episode. That in itself is reason enough for buying season five at the same time you buy season four. You'll be very glad you did.
