Another one bites the dust….

Psymonkee    TV Shows    

A TV Show that is. Angel to be precise.

It’s a show I started watching some 5 years ago whilst working in a petrol station that at its peak had 26 customers a day. This of course allowed me plenty of time to sit around watching TV. I had free money so I bought Angel boxsets and started watching. During work of course

Sadly the petrol station closed as the business went into administration and I was only partway through the 2nd season. Then I hit a patch with no money and went a long time without finishing the story. Recently at the nagging of a certain Mr. Wud I finally got around to buying and watching the entire 5 season DVD Boxset. Infact I posted about it way back in August with some pretty bad pictures.

Due to work it’s taken me some 2 months to get through the whole thing but damn what a journey. Following on from where Buffy season 3 ended we find Angel in LA killing the bad guys. Of course he runs into a few new friends and makes some pretty big foes too.

All sorts of interesting twists and turns happen along the way but it all seems to hang together quite well (in the context of the Angel universe) including a trip to an alternate reality, the birth of Angels son and the re-birth of an ancient demon know as Ilyria. Of course this naturally leads to yet another apocalypse which is sadly where we leave the show for good

All in all for £80 I feel it was a fantastic bargain and somethign I can watch again and again. I thoroughly recommend this series to anyone who has a passing interest in supernatural type shows or has seen any of Joss Wheadons other work
