Denise Danovich (Portland, Or)

 BtVS fan, get Angel dvds! July 28, 2008

If you love Buffy the Vampire Slayer shows, then better get Angel dvds. Their stories were working together until Buffy's show ended. Warning: the last show of Angel wasn't gratify though. Very disappointed with WB to axe the show so soon.

I am both an angel and buffy buff. The angel series is really really good n worth every penny i have all 7 of buffy n soon will have all 6 of angel. This deal 3 for 99 is great I paid the $45 at the stores when they first came out but they were worth that as well. I would recommend for anyone to atleast try them out they are both very good shows n keep u interested sure some of what is done is a little far fetched but still the meaning behind each show is uplifting and gives people a chance to take a short break from everyday life n zone into these real but fantacy worlds. I hope that helped a little.

Hey, I live in Cyprus (Europe) and we by default use region 2, but of course we all have multi region DVD players. I've ordered about 40 items, amongst others Buffy seasons 1-4, 5 and have just ordered season 6, also have seasons 1-4 of Dawson's Creek and all work fine. I get that message everytime I purchase something, but they always work fine. I've also just ordered Angel seasons 1-3 and I'm sure they will work fine as the rest have. I wouldn't worry about the region enhancement...
Buy this before they run out or the price goes up!!!!!!!!
Also I reccommend all above mentioned DVDs!

It's a shame that so many people never got into this show when it was on TV. Conservatives of a TV nation who never believed that a show about vampires could reach such levels of moral complexity and show character layers rarely seen in television (I say rarely but I mean never, I've never seen it, and I watch way to much TV). In fact, to my recollection, I can't think of one TV show that stayed so true to the characters it created. This show is worth everyone's time, and I find it funny that even people who claim to be fans of story telling ignore it. So called film lovers who try to use every lame argument as to why it sucks without watching it properly yet would argue with you for hours on the merits of an Oliver Stone flick or which `Evil Dead' is the best. I love all these movies, but I'm not the hypocrite who defends independent movies till they're blue in the face, but are to good to watch a Joss Whedon show.
I notice a lot of reviews on this site are people pleading with others to watch this show. "It's great so watch it" and so on. Sadly most people don't care. I'm not going to plead with people to watch it because the fact is, if you don't, piff, your loss dude. I find it funny that people who hate `Buffy' and `Angel' love `Alias'. A show that wouldn't exist without 'Buffy' and basically steals plot lines out of `Buffy' and `angel'. The funniest being the `Rambaldi' prophesy in Alias and the `Shanshu' prophesy in Angel. Both go something like this. A prophecy is discovered, and when it is deciphered it says that Angel/Sydney will be a key player in the end of the world. I'm paraphrasing and I can't remember if in alias it's specifically the end of the world or just a major catastrophe that will greatly affect the world but you get the gist. There's a whole lot more, but to put it bluntly, Angel does it better. And hey, I'm not biased. I purchase alias with the best of intentions on DVD and still enjoyed watching it. But people would obviously rather give Alias or 24 a watch more than Buffy and Angel because they like to feel like intellectuals. They hear characters using complex terminology in Alias and 24 and feel they're watching something smart. When in fact '24' is a highly enjoyable soap opera with guns and `Alias' is the TV equivalent of 'Armageddon'. Pretty visuals and false emotions (such as Sydney crying every friggin episode. how the hell did she ever pass the psychological examine because the chicks clearly unstable). Not surprising seeing as the creator of Alias wrote 'Armageddon' before hand, whilst Joss Whedon won an Oscar for writing a little movie called 'Toy Story' before he made Buffy.
Still, I gotta try not to go into a rant (to late). To be honest I really enjoy both Armageddon and Alias on a superficial level. I just don't pretend to think it's something more than it is, and that's the point. So many people talk about the Metaphorical and symbolic meanings in `Buffy' and `Angel' and come off as fanboy lunatics. But as someone who always tries to watch something objectively I can safely say that the show may have a lot of flaws, but being as thought provoking as a David Lynch movie, as well as being entertaining is defiantly not one of them.
Joss Whedon may not have invented the TV 'arc'. But he mastered it and made it what it is and in just 22 episodes a year, he created poetry. A strong word but as an English Lit graduate I can honestly say that Whedon has created tragic Shakespearian tales and Greek poetry with a postmodern twist. None of this soap opera crap that people seem to eat up like ice cream. Still, I don't suppose this has convinced anyone. Most of the Angel haters probably tuned out long ago to watch Van Helsing. If that last statement made you angry because I assumed that anyone who doesn't watch this show is a fan of crap films, and you would much rather watch 'City of God', then `Angel' is for you (okay so that was a lame attempt to convince you to watch, but hey, I had to try)
Angel doesn't question your intelligence or try to sugar coat itself with thesaurus dialogue. Instead it allows the comedy to shine through, it doesn't dub down the slapstick, because it's confident that it can tell a great story and still keep a sense of humour. A lot of people forget that Shakespeare's writing often had a lot of humour and surrealism, but that doesn't mean you can't tell a great story. Pretentious rant over. I'll just finish by saying that the critics love it, and not just in a `gotta love it coz it's a HBO program' kind of way. But in 'essay writing, double page spread in a number of newspapers but not for publicity' kind of way. So there you have it. Critics love it, loyal fans cum all over it like cheap porn, and university professors write published essays about it. But it has vampires and cheap effects so why bother watching when you can watch Keither Sutherland have another bad day.
