Movie Reviews of Angel - Season One (Slim Set)
Movie Review: The Redemption Seeker-Angel's First Season
Summary: 5 Stars
After the first 3 seasons of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon thought David Boreanaz was such a talent actor that he deserved his own show, and they were right. After 3 years of playing the slayer's forbidden lover, the character Angel goes off to L.A. on a new mission of redemption. There he meets a wise craking Irish bad boy named Doyle, who happens to be half demon and a messenger fot the Powers That Be. With his visions, Doyle guides Angel to the lost souls of L.A. he needs to protect. One of them happens to be Cordelia, the smart mouthed ex-rich girl from Sunnydale, who joins Angel and Doyle on their mission in L.A. that creates their detective agency, Angel Investigations. But the L.A. trio better watch out for law firm Wolfarm and Hart, which will be the major villian for Angel and his Fang Gang for the entire series run. Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt create a series that was just as gorundbreaking as Buffy the Vampire Slayer was. The first season is full of refreshing storylines, inventive villians and great characters. Here's Season 1:
City Of...-Great episode!! "Angel, a vampire with a soul, arrives in L.A. to make amends for past when he meets Irish half-breed, Doyle whose visions from The Powers that Be set him on a mission that leads to Cordelia in trouble." A great premiere with hilarious moments from Cordelia, Dolye and great introductions all together."
Lonely Hearts-Great episode!! "Doyle's lastest vision leads L.A. trio to a night club where a Burrowor demon is sleeping with innocent people to gain the perfect body." The Burrowor demon was original villian with some disturbing scenes. Cordelia and Doyle were hilarious together, also Kate Lockley makes her first appearence here.
In The Dark-Great episode!! "When Oz visits L.A., he brings with him the Gem of Amarra, a ring that with make Angel immune to vampire weakness, to bad Spike is in town as well and wants the ring back." Spike was great as usual as well as the creepy Marcus. Oz interacts so well with the cast.
I Fall To Pieces-Good episode!! "The lastest case of Angel Investigations has Angel help a young woman who is being stalked by a doctor who can literally detach his body parts." Doctor Meltzer was a creepy and inventive villian and the scenes with the body parts were disturbing.
Rm w/a Vu-Amazing episode!! "When Cordelia has trouble with her roach-infested apartment, Doyle helps Cordelia find a beautiful new apartment...which happens to be haunted." The first classic episode of the series, Charima Carpenter is hilarious throughout as Cordelia.
Sense & Sensitivity-Weak episode!! "When Kate and the rest of the police force gets involved in sensitivity training program, they all become overwhemlingly emotional leaving Angel to solve the problem." An embarrasing episode with an embarrassing plot and bad performances.
Bachelor Party-Good episode!! "When Doyle's ex-wife, Harry, comes into town to divorce him and get married to her new finacee, Doyle becomes the target of the bachelor party when her finacee plans to eat his brain." Glenn Quinn gives a great performance as Doyle, there as hilarious moments with Cordelia.
I Will Remember You-Incredible episode!! "When Buffy arrives in L.A. angry at Angel for not telling her he was in Sunnydale, a demon attack causes them to track it down, leading Angel become human in the process." Both David Boreanaz and Sarah Michelle Gellar give powerful performances that are unforgettable.
Hero-Great episode!! "When The Scourge, a nazi-like army of pure demons, hunt down a group of half-breed demons, Angel plans to stop them while Doyle plans to make the ultimate sacrifice." A dark and depressing episode which is the last for Doyle, he will be missed.
Parting Gifts-Great episode!! "Just as Cordelia realizes she has Doyle's visions now, Angel's new case leads him to a Rogue demon hunter." Alexis Densiof makes his reappearence on Angel as Wesley Wyndam-Pryce and is completely hilarious.
Somnambulist-Good episode!! "A recent string of bizarre murders makes Angel realize he might the killer, but when in fact the killer is an old prodigy of his." Penn is a great villian and Kate finally finds out the truth about Angel.
Expecting-Weak episode!! "After a one night stand, Cordelia wakes up 8 months pregnant leaving Angel and Wesley to stop the demon that impregnated her." While Charisma was great, the demon plot was dull with the lame revealtion of King demon.
She-Bad episode!! "Just as Wesley finally gets a job at Angel Investigations, the lastest case leads the Angel to gender war with strange creatures from a different dimension who arrived in L.A." This episode wasn't only bad, but it felt out of place for Angel. Just avoid it!
I'v Got You Under My Skin-Incredible episode!! "Cordelia's lastest vision leads Angel to troubled family whose son is possessed by a demon, leaving Angel and Wesley to do an exorcism on the child." A Gripping episode with a terrifying tiwst that down right scary.
The Prodigal-Pretty good episode!! "When doclie demons begin attacking innocent people, Angel realizes Kate's father might be invovled which bring back painful memories with Angel's father." The flashbacks with Angel and his father was amazing, although the main plot was a little dull.
The Ring-Good episode!! "When Angel's latest case leads him to a trap, he becomes invovle in a fighting ring where demons fight to the death for their freedon, leading Wesley and Cordy to save him." This episode has some great settings and fight, aslo Lilah makes her first appearence.
Eternity-Good episode!! "When Angel becomes a bodyguard for a famous actress, she finds out what he is and will do anything for Angel to make her a vampire as well." An episode that pretty average until the last scenes where Angelus appears which are just so well acted by David.
Five By Five-Incredible episode!! "When Faith arrives in L.A., she recks havok in the streets of L.A. and when Wolfarm and Hart give her a job, she goes after Angel by hurting Cordelia and torturing Wesley." Eliza Duska is amazing throughout this hour and Faith's fight scene with Angel is top notch!
Sanctuary-Great episode!! "While Angel tries to help Faith lead a new life, Buffy returns to L.A. and is displeased to see them together, just as the Watcher Council plans to capture Faith." Angel and Faith's scenes were great although Buffy's appearence was bittersweet do to her attitude.
War Zone-Pretty good episode!! "Angel's lastest case get him involved with a gang of vampire hunters which are lead by Charles Gunn." J. August Richards makes his debut as Gunn and is great in the part, and is was sad watching him lose his sister.
Blind Date-Great episode!! "When Wolfarm and Hart hires a blind assassin to kill innocent children, Lindsey has a change of heart and informs Angel to help him stop the assassin." Lindsey really gets some depth here and the blind assassin was a great villian.
To Shanshu in L.A.-Amazing episode!! "When Wolfarm and Hart summon a demon named Vocah, he kills The Oracles and disables Cordy and Wesley while Wolfarm and Hart summon a pivotal person from Angel's past." An explosive season finale with a great villian and some distrubing scenes. Not to mention the revelation of Darla at the end is shocking.
A brilliant first season which promises a lot for the even more brilliant second season. The DVD as features some great extras like character analysis of Angel, Cordelia, a season overview, and commentaries are some episodes. It's a great set to own from this fantastic series.
