- Untimely End to A Fantastic Show
'All good things must have an end' and unfortunatly, this is Angels. Possibly the best season yet, you'll be laughing, crying and cursing the network that cancelled this gem.

The stand out episodes for me were Hellbound, Harms Way, Smile Time and Not Fade Away. Ones to watch even if you haven't really got into the rest of the season - Especially Not Fade Away, which unfortunatly leaves us on a cliffhanger (I believe Joss didn't know that the show was going to be cancelled when it was written) and wishing that it was carried on an extra episode, at least. One small gripe I had with the last four or five episodes is that I never really got along with Ilyria - I really liked Fred as a character. However, if you don't cry in Wesleys final ... Read More:

- Best. Ending. Ever.
Rarely have I been as disappointed to learn that a show had been cancelled as I was with Angel, it was easily one of the best shows in the genre and by season 5 it was eclipsing it's parent show Buffy on a regular basis. But all good things must come to an end, and when they do try to make them end like this.
OK, so at the end of season 4 we saw Angel and co join and agree to run their evil enemy, the law firm Wolram&Hart. Now it's obvious to both the characters and the audience that this is an attempt to corrupt them and bring them onto Wolfram&Hart's side for real, this is handled very well and actually quite subtely in the show so that you start noticing little differences long before the major plot points show up around it. There's lots of ... Read More:

- Why was this cancelled?
The only thing wrong with this series is that it's the last one. Having more or less tied up a three-year story arc the season before, Angel took off in a new direction with the gang's takeover of Wolfram and Hart, a scenario incredibly rich in potential of which just one series could barely scratch the surface. It's so frustrating because there's clearly at least another year's worth of good material here.

But at least they went out on a high, with a series reminiscent of the glory days of Buffy - the traditional emotional rollercoaster, in which silly comedy changes to horror at a stroke; and full of constant surprises, drama, cool fights and unexpected deaths. And the final episode is all of that, distilled into just 40 minutes - it puts ... Read More:

- A season of two halves.
Or to put it more accurately a series of 4 so-so episodes and then the rest is good, indeed many of the 18 episodes after the uninspiring first 4 rank among the show's very best, and so the outstanding quality of a large percentage of the episodes that make up this climactic season easily merits a five star rating overall, and I can guarantee that by the grand finale you'll have long forgotten its mediocre opening.

I read somewhere (possibly on these very pages) that the creators had to accept budget cuts to keep the show afloat for another year, and this is certainly apparent, most obviously in the return to a format based more around stand-alone episodes than long-running story arcs, to an extent not seen since the first season (though this ...
