Angel is faced with the reality that all of his actions, whether
300 years past or just three hours ago, have major consequences.
He struggles with his past romance with the vampire Darla
as well as his growing yet unrequited love for Cordelia...
Season
three of Angel is, to date, the best series so far.
The series begins with Angel returning from his summer retreat
to get over the death of his beloved Buffy and with her show's
move to a new network Angel the series gets to stand
on its own and prove its worth with no crossovers between
the two allowed.
The
stories get more intriguing and as you get sucked into their
strange world you get to know the characters even better than
before. Fred is still haunted by the nightmare dimension from
which they rescued her; Cordelia's visions get ever more painful
and debilitating. The schemes of the evil law firm Wolfram
and Hart become every more imaginative and dragon lady Lilah
Morgan becomes even more of an enemy when lusting after Angel.
Unbelievably, Darla, Angel's vampire sire and lover, turns
up, pregnant with his child and is tortured by inexplicable
motherly feelings as well as a raging thirst for human blood.
Some
classic episodes make up this series, especially those that
follow the arrival of Darla and how their human son is brought
into this world. Definitely worth a repeat viewing are Offspring,
Quickening, Lullaby and Dad. The first few episodes
see life for Angel running pretty smooth but then the latest
big bad makes an appearance - a very old enemy of Angelus,
Holtz the Vampire Hunter. The series sees Holtz's need for
Angel to suffer grow, and when he receives the knowledge of
the birth of Angles son a plan is brought into action.
As
the series moves to its climax, the series descends to a darker
plane than ever before, with some amazing stories and acting.
Wesley (Alexis Denisof) has hard choices to make. The devastating
climax is compulsive viewing and this series also contains
one of the most impressive single episodes the show has yet
come up with. That Vision Thing and Birthday
also sees some great performances from Charisma Carpenter
and The Price is the first Angel episode to
have a fully CGI bad guy.
With
a wide selection of extras including outtakes, scripts and
commentaries, this is a definite must have for all DVD collections.
