This is one of those shows I find myself not only going back to over and over, but one that I also recommend to friends who haven't seen it. Although I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer (this is a spin-off if you aren't aware), Angel has a certain charm to it that Buffy lacks. Though it wouldn't have existed without Buffy, I think it is a work of art by Joss Whedon and David Greenwalt. This show makes you fall in love with every single character, whether you want to or not. The wins and the losses feel like your own, and the comedic relief in the midst of the drama and the horror is always right on time, exactly when you need it. I've never watched a show that had me more invested and more engrossed in what was going to happen next, and I think it's genius how some of the key points of the story intertwine. If you haven't watched this (or Buffy for that matter), you've got some serious catching up to do but it will be very worth your while. I admit that some of the initial episodes are a little 90's-esque and can be cheesy, but if you love horror, scifi, and amazing characters and storyline, the rest is just a bonus!
