Thanks to Amazon's Gold Box deal, I finally got to get this package of goodness at reasonable prices for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and could not afford to miss it. I loved the series and complete 30-Disc DVD set is just the greatest addition to my collection.

note to reader: at the time of this review i am on the next to last disc of angel)
as a person of the male species that rushed through the seven seasons of buffy via dvd i find that Angel has a similar feel and that it fits perfectly into the buffyverse with a totally different style, this show allows you to see all the sides of angel(and conveniently placed moments of angel's long and sordid history from the last 250 years) that he couldnt let himself show when he was standing next to Buffy. As a guy I find that though I like the action in Buffy, seeing Angel fight on a regular basis is way cooler(just my opinion). The show has very much the feel of its namesake character and is a bit grittier considering that most of the characters feel more susceptible to physical danger and most are driven by a strong desire for redemption. On another note the show is very comfortable with expressing itself and is often hilarious. I hate to spoil anything but I end this review with a few words: Demon Karaoke Bar, Angel singing

I never really had the time to watch Angel when it came on tv...I saw some episodes, but that was all.
So I gave a shot to this show because of the main actor I saw in Bones. Well, it was really worth the shot!!! The set is in a nice package and contains a lot of funny stuff about the show, like the bloopers reel and some ITW. What I've really appreciated was to see it in wide screen, after the first season in 4:3, the remaining seasons are in 1:78 and in very good quality.
About the show, it grew on me. I found the first season good, and from then it just got better and better! I saw a lot of sci-fi shows in my life, and I have to admit I never found one as good as this one.
The story ark is never boring, they start with a normal story and finish everytime on the edge. The cast is just amazingly too good. They have a lot of complicit moment, they evolve with the show, and David Boreanaz is very believable playing the Vampire with a soul. He has this ability that catches us emotionally and makes great movies. (and it's tv!!)
With Angel, I have laughed, and cried all my tears!!!
So now, I keep the set close to me, and re-watch it, and I still have the same fun!!! And if you plan to watch one episode and go to bed, just forget it!! When you start, the story is so engrossing it's hard to stop!!
To me it had been a great Journey!!!

I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer from the first episode to the last, and have seen the series several times. I watched Angel all the way through as well, but have only watched the collection through a second time recently.
My initial impression of Angel was that the series at first had a hard time finding its way, then got both too serialized and too dark. I maintain both these impressions but, upon repeat viewing, I found myself enjoying the series much more than I had the first time around.
Angel, IMO, won't ever quite measure up to the quality of BtVS, but it's still a terrific series, with strong moments and relative consistency throughout. There are parts of Season 4 and Season 5 that are disappointing, but the show as a whole did well.
As for the collection, the production values are excellent, the modularized box is terrific (small amount of shelf space required), and the extras (mostly cast commentary and featurettes) are worthwhile. If you are looking to buy a collected series, this is a good one to have. The presentation is excellent and it is a good value for your money. And, of course, the show is darn good.
