This is an OK show. It entertains. It's rarely boring but it lacks the polish of Buffy. The show gets more and more ludicrous as it goes on - the character of Cordelia, especially, just becomes unrecognisable from the original character who used to be great fun.
The story arcs drag on and on and on - the Season 2 one spends so long setting up the story that I'd lost interest in it by the time things started happening. I don't hate long arcs but I don't think Angel is a show that manages to pace them very well.
David Borneaz does his best but he's clearly out of his depth as the main character. The man has only a couple of facial expressions and this lack of depth in his acting ruins moments that otherwise might have been very effective.
The real bright spot is the character of Wesley and the actor who plays him.
