Angel , A Summation

[jazzy_dave]

Well, now that i have finished the Angel seasons all over again , i can come to a conclusion between that and BtVS, and before i get all the ad hominem vitriol I might receive, i much prefer the Buffy series. Whilst Angel does go very dark , in fact, relentlessly darker in places, Buffy still has some deeply disturbing arcs, Season 6 for example,when she is torn from heaven, with the fact that she is less connected with the world, and a real sense of what depression is really like.

However,what makes Angel still special is the fact it has Cordelia in it, who grows and matures wonderfully, after receiving the visions from Doyle, only to be high-jacked by a demon clawing its way out when she returns back to our realm from a higher dimension when she ascended.

Also, it has Winifred , aka Fred, the physicist genius of the show, rescued by Angel from a hell dimension. Without them, and Spike in the last season, it would not have held my attention as it does. But nothing gets me so involved as Buffy did.
