Angel Review!
This very long review starts as a review of season 5 and in the end it deals with the whole series! What do they think about the baby-Connor story or about Cordy and Angel? |
Case Number 6222: Supreme Court
ANGEL: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON
Fox // 2004 // 990 Minutes // Not Rated
Lead Judge: Judge David Johnson
Contributing Judges: Judge Brett Cullum and Appellate Judge Michael Stailey
February 21st, 2005
The Charge
"Personally, I kinda want to slay the dragon."
Opening Statement
 And so the "Buffyverse" and all extensions thereof came to an end when the highers-up at the WB television network decided to pull the plug on Angel, and lay to rest the adventures of the brooding vampire with a soul. A spinoff that, for my money, outperformed its source show, Angel etched its legacy into the annals of genre television with the necessary ingredients—humor, action, unpredictability, demons, prophecies, wrist-mounted grappling hooks, father-son love triangles, and, ultimately, too small of a following, rabid and devoted as it may be. It cannot be said, however, that Angel went quietly into that good night. The show's fifth and final season, sporting some of heavyweight writers imported from Buffy, represented an explosion of creativity and innovation, and while the format relied less on season-long story arcs (as it did in the second, third, and fourth seasons) what eventually unspooled were 22 episodes of unrestrained imagination—and one of the best television series finales ever.
