Clare Dootson reviews

Angel
Season 1 Part 1

Distributed by

You loved Buffy and now here's Angel, a 244-year-old vampire with a soul and the love of Buffy's life. Set in Los Angeles, Angel (David Boreanez) fights the good fight against the demons and vampires of the city.

Along with Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) and Allen Francis Doyle (Roseanne's Glenn Quinn), a half man/demon who aids as Angel's mentor by having visions of people in need who Angel then helps.

Angel investigates and helps the helpless and needy (sounds rather like the A-team - DVDfever Ed), but only if you have the money, according to Cordelia who has come from Sunnydale to pursue an acting career.

The following is a break-down and score for each of the eleven episodes within this boxset.

The picture can be a little dark in places but then Angel can't go out in daylight. There are very good special effects in Hero and the make-up is equally effective. However, the film was shot in 16:9 widescreen, like Buffy Seasons 4 and 5, but is centre-cropped to 4:3 here.

The surround sound is very good too with directional effects used where it counts and the theme tune rocks!

Overall, from ghosts to a bachelor party that goes wrong, Angel is full of action-packed, gripping stuff and funny one-liners. There are plenty of great episodes, such as I Will Remember You and the boxset for Buffy Season 4 Part 1 is also out now.

If you've only seen it on Channel 4 then you've only watched half of it, thanks to them not bothering to obtain widescreen prints (if BBC2 can manage it for Buffy, then why not Channel 4 for Angel!?) and cutting anything violent or using strong language which ruins the narrative.

Episodes have been shown as early as 5.25pm on Fridays. You're also meant to watch episodes of Buffy and Angel alternately, so Channel 4 didn't help by screening this one two weeks early before moving to double-episode helpings and then continuing while BBC2 stopped for snooker.

Word has it that uncut episodes will be screened in January, but I've yet to be convinced.

Hence, until the DVD is eventually released, this box-set comes very recommended for any Angel and Buffy fan.
