love it up until one episode that was to disturbing about a mom who tied her son and put him in a wall and plastered brick up and killed him so beware if you are ready for some disturbing things and talk of sex.

It doesn't matter that this show never gained as much popularity as "Buffy" did. In my opinion, "Angel" was better-but that might be because I'm into darker themes than "Buffy" traditionally carries. The main character, Angel (go figure), strikes me as an admirable guy. For one thing, as he's trying to atone for years of wrongdoing, he refuses to take the easy way out in multiple situations. This, among other values displayed throughout the five seasons, teaches a very positive lesson that outweighs whatever problems the show might have.

Not as good as Buffy.

A little too much violence, too little drama. But Angel makes me want to watch again just because the supernaturals are so darned funny. As always with Whedon, it keeps getting better in every season.
