Angel
Investigations continues to champion the cause of the good
and sees one creature of the night seeking out other, vile
creatures who have a hard time staying the right side of the
law...
Yeah!
Yeah! You know the the plot so there's no point in dragging
this on any longer than we need to. Angel, is quiet
simply, one hell of a great series. The conclusion to season
one's cliffhanger is nicely handled (remember Darla was brought
back to taunt Angel).
As
was to be expected Fox are onto a winner with this DVD. The
picture quality is very good and each episode is finally available
widescreen as the episodes were originally filmed.
The
series manages to balance a fine blend of humour and suspense
elements with the end result being a show that is just this
side of camp in places while at the same time providing some
gritty story lines.
This
box set features all the uncut episodes from season two and
the extras, while not great, include a
handful of audio commentaries, featurettes (Making Up the
Monsters, Inside the Agency, Season 2 Overview and Stunts),
still gallery, blue prints and scripts for Disharmony
and Darla. There is also a Season 1 DVD trailer as
well as cast biographies.
The
Angel season two DVD box set continues the packaging
theme that Fox have adopted for Buffy and Angel
DVD releases by launching this release in the familiar book
design. The episodes are 16:9 anamorphic widescreen. The quality
of the basic story telling not as good as season one but there
are many excellent highlights. Especially entertaining - the
kareoke bar and its camp demon owner. However, the Darla story
arch is a bit dull and the endless flashbacks to Angel's early
life/death are a little intrusive, although visually engaging.
No
surprises here. So dust off your wallet and purchase this
now.
