And YES, MAN, I HAVE read several reviews and heard several people comment that Angel just got better as it went along and that the first two seasons were hit and miss in comparison to what came later.



I'd like to see this reviews. Post links, please.

 Yeah Filth I find that rather dubious, cos as a mod on one of the larger Buffy/Angel/Whedon sites on the web at the time, I clearly recall a widespread dissatisfaction with Season 4 in particular. I stinks of a bit of revisionism to me.

Mind you I should proably point out that I actually stopped watching Angel in any regular after S1 ( I never got over the death of Doyle) and I did not start again till some time during S4.

 I've read a lot of bitching about Seasons 3 and 4 due to the presence of Connor, but all the reviews i've read that don't just get bogged down about that one character seem to say that the show grew as a series from becoming more serialised, structured and story-arc heavy and that the characters continued to gain depth and such. I've heard this in regards to Seasons 3-5 quite a bit, but we'll focus on Season 4 here, for Woody's sake.

Here are a few Season 4 reviews i've read that I have come up with real quickly:

http://www.chud.com/articles/articles/925/1/DVD-REVIEW-ANGEL---SEASON-4/Page1.html

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/12183/angel-season-four/

And a Season 3 review for good measure:

http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=5300

The general gist of the reviews that I came across went along the same sort of lines as those i've linked y'all to. Maybe there's a lot of different verdicts around that I haven't seen, but I had always believed (even prior to watching the series) that the consensus was that it got consistently better as it went along (or, at the very least, never got any worse than the first two seasons), and I strongly agree with that viewpoint.

Of course, as dawned on me a few posts ago, what the majority consensus is, doesn't really matter in the slightest.
