Angel is still pretty much my all time favourite show (along with Smallvile.) Such a great cast of well written characters, great storylines and constant excitement.

Angel was the better show

[fairydust1997]

The writers of angel said that at the beginning of the show that it was going to be episodic - they didn't want it to become a "soap opera like buffy"

....

I don't think you tried at all

[MortimerDarkness]

yes joss we know you didn't know how to write Angel. It was quite clear it was David Greenwalts show. too bad he left and let Joss ruin Cordelia and then replace her with Spike yet again. Didn't work on Buffy, didn't work on Angel.

Hated Angel with Cordelia, other than that Angel is my all time second favourite TV series after Buffy. I love both <3

@jellybellyca no, actually, only in two of the four seasons that Buffy and Angel were both in production was Buffy higher rated. Angel had higher ratings for the 1st and 3rd seasons and a lot of the episodes were higher rated. rated. I love Buffy too, but I think they are equally loved by fans of both.

suuuure :)

Cordelia never slept with Angel's son. She was possessed and essentially body and mind raped.

Joss is my favorite writer/director. Almost everything he touches is just fantastic. Buffy, Angel, Avengers

[bloodybookworm]

Loved Angel but i think Wesley and Cordelia were the best and most developed characters of the series overall.

[Katie Herzig]

@windowsVD ok, I think you're right, but Angel was definitely up there. it wasn't struggling in other words.

I'm pretty sure Smallville had higher ratings at that time.
