Angel - Collector's Set (DVD, 2009, 30-Disc Set)

Ok, if you were like me, when Buffy the Vampire Slayer first came out you were way too cool to watch something with such a stupid name. Big mistake. I ended up buying the Angel DVD collection in a kind of backwards way. I became a big fan of David Boreanaz and Christain Kane from Bones and Leverage. In researching other roles they were in, discovered Angel (both were in it - what more could you want!?), so I bought the Angel DVD's and then discovered that Angel was a spin off from Buffy. I love the Angel DVD's so thought I would give Buffy a try (you can watch Angel without having watched Buffy, but you do miss some of the 'inside' jokes or references from Buffy).

So, I worked my way back from Bones/Leverage (which are not actually related to Buffy and Angel, they just have some of the same actors) to Buffy and I have to say that I've really enjoyed the trip and am now an even bigger fan of David Boreanaz, Christain Kane, James Marsters and the whole cast of Buffy and Angel. Angel is a bit darker than Buffy, with more dark humor and less laugh out loud jokes that you would find on Buffy, but still you get into the characters and you care about them all. The ones that came over from Buffy (Angel, Cordelia and Wesley) all 'grow up' on Angel; really it's an amazing transformation over the years to watch the characters mature. The addition of Spike and Harmony later in the series are also wonderful additions adding a few more laughs than there were earlier in the series (especially from Spike with his sarcastic humor).

And, yes, it's not just for kids or teens - if you can let your imagination just accept the premise of demons and portals and vampires with a soul, then you will LOVE Angel.

The action/fight sequences are amazing and the special effects are first class, but my favorite thing about the show are the characters, which Joss Whedon was a genius at creating and making them so real that you can't help but care for them all. No matter where you are in life, there is something here that you can relate to.

I highly recommend Angel (and Buffy). The only downside to Angel, the series ended too soon - it could easily have gone on another 2 seasons and still not gotten old or worn out.

Angel was probably the best show/ spin-off to ever air on television and without a doubt deserves a beautiful collector's box set like this one. In an amazing collection, what you should be waiting for once you order this baby is a box big enough to fit five seasons in these awesome and portable cd wallet type things that have all discs for each season inside. The show, on the other hand, is even better. Unlike Buffy, Angel is a darker show filled with witty remarks, style, a follow through story line and just the best humor squeezed in, making it the perfect show. Also, after the series ends, you can continue knowing more about the characters by reading Angel: After the Fall (a series of comic books, representing the SIXTH SEASON of Angel and A SEVENTH SEASON due to be printed later this year. Angel is a show that will always be remembered as it's own show, even though it was a spin-off. The character development was perfection and it'll show you a whole new look at DESTINY. Do NOT miss out on this show and DEFINITELy consider this box set. Each buyer also receives a letter from the producer "JOSS WHEDON" about his experience on the show.
ANGEL: THE COLLECTOR'S SET (30-DISC SET)

I absolutely love any series Or movie with David Boreanaz. He is one of the best actors. He is a great actor in comedy drama action & horror movies. He keeps you addicted to his series & movies. And keeps your eyes glued to the Tv. I now have all his movies & series. And love them all. And watch them over & over without ever getting sick of watching them. My complete 30 disc Angel collectors series was great! Not a scratch on it. It was a perfect buy.

Ever since my friend introduced me to Buffy, I have been a die hard fan. I started and finished my own collection of the 7 seasons of Buffy and wanted to start buying the Angel seasons as well. I purchased this box set a few days ago and am in TV heaven. Thanks to this set, I now have every Buffy and Angel episode that has been released. The box the DVDs came in is very handsome and looks good on my gray DVD shelf. If you are a fan of the spin off of Buffy, I highly recommend purchasing this set.
