I ENJOYED THE ANGEL COLLECTORS DISKS. IT WAS A DELIGHTFUL CONTINUATION OF THE JOSS WHEDDON BUFFY SERIES IN STYLE. I'VE JUST PLAYED THE DISKS FOR A SECOND TIME AND ENJOYED THEM EVEN MORE. I'M THINKING OF REPLAYING THE BUFFY DISKS FEATURING ANGEL I CURRENTLY WATCH THE TV SHOW "BONES" STARRING DAVID BOREANAZ.

Angel: Seasons 1-5 (Collectors Set) This is a great gift set -- especially for Buffy fans.

Just as expected - If you like Angel, the first few seasons are the best!

Based on above, the average series ratings = 4.6*
First and foremost this series was a great ride, which I thought too juvenile to watch in real time. About 2-years ago I got a really good deal on this collectors set and it promptly sat on my shelf for nearly 2-years. As a result of the good ratings, the track record of Joss Whedon and the recent hiatus in the schedule, I broke the seal on the set and started watching. Season 1 started somewhat slowly (as is the MO for Joss Whedon series), though seasons 2-4 caused several nights of limited sleep, as almost every show ended with a cliff hanger and I told myself that I would simply watch 5-minutes of the next episode and the next thing I knew is was 4:30 AM! Season 5 simply felt different where perhaps it was the removal of the cliff hanger concept. Perhaps it was the disappearance of Charisma Carpenter from the show, as aside from cut off tight shirts, she seemed to have some of the better lines and her delivery was so non chalant that some of the verbal entendres were easy to miss. Frankly, I feel that the series ended at the perfect time and it may have been a stretch to milk a 6th season.

I'm an owner of this collection and am very satisfied. Some technical things: the case is great. between roommates, friends and myself probably every disc has been watched 3 times, and the box remains in excellent conditions. It's very space efficient for five seasons. None of the DVDs have ever skipped or given me any problems.
Spoilers ahead.
With respect to Angel the series... what great stuff. It was a bit slow in season 1, but by the start of season 2 I "needed" to watch the series, to see what would happen to the characters. The Angel-Darla romance is imo the most beautiful romantic story arc in the Buffyverse. It was fascinating to see how she changed as she went from human to vampire back to human and to vampire again, and then finally a vampire gestating a hybrid baby who has a soul. Also great: Angel going dark in season 2 without actually being Angelus; the GUNN character and the exploration of human society's underworld, and how they know more about vampires; the alternate reality kingdom that Lorne is from; and finally the gang taking over Wolfram and Hart in season 5.
I'm not sure how this series compares to Buffy. As a package I'd rate Buffy higher, they both have great episodes, Angel had fewer bad episodes ... Buffy may have benefited from having more characters and being more original.
