Product Description:
Season 4 of the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" spinoff and the second to last season of this detective comedy cum soap opera featuring Buffy's ex-boyfriend as the title role. David Borneanaz plays a brooding vampire beset with guilt who has come to L.A. to atone for two and a half centuries spent killing innocents. With a few close and good-looking friends he opens up Angel Investigations and becomes a vigilante determined to fight the forces of evil which run rampant in the city streets. Season 4 opens with Angel being held captive at the bottom of the ocean by a secretly mutinous Connor while Cordelia has been called to a higher plane by the Powers That Be. After everyone has been reunited within a few episodes a new villain is unleashed: The Beast with whom Angel's alter ego the evil vampire Angelus used to be in cahoots has returned from exile to terrorize L.A. Angel is severed from his "good" side by his friends in order to pump his "bad" side for information about this new nemesis and while Angelus escapes to wreak havoc alongside his old demon friend uber-villain Jasmine arrives to throw the themes of the show into a cosmic light.System Requirements:Running Time 990 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 024543233565 Manufacturer No: 2233356

As the fourth season of Angel starts, everything is still as we left it: Angel has been sunk to the bottom of the sea in an iron box by his inexplicable and vindictive son Connor and Cordelia has been summoned to higher realms to await orders. Gunn and Fred are left in the Hyperion Hotel, unsure about what has happened to their friends, and Lilah is working hard to seduce Wesley to the dark side. In the first few episodes, some of this is resolved but it's almost immediately replaced by far worse crises: prophesies of doom accumulate more rapidly even than usual in this wonderfully gloomy show and a horned rock-like beast rains fire on Los Angeles. This last year is Angel's most tightly dramatic season yet--with a story arc of surprising intensity punctuated by the show's usual wit and sexiness.
Season 4 is presented on DVD in Dolby 2.0 Surround Sound and anamorphic widescreen. It comes with insightful, and often hilarious, commentaries on seven of the 22 episodes as well as featurettes--a series overview, profiles of the characters of Jasmine and the Beast, a farewell to the Hyperion Hotel (the characters' base for three seasons), and a discussion of the apocalypse that Angel has to deal with from episode 7 onwards). --Roz Kaveney

- Intense season
After almost five years I'm still sad the show ended. Why!? Because of a season like 4. Sure, David was not getting any younger, but two more season would have been great. Well... yep. Cordelia is back... it is a Whedon show, huh? But she do not remember anything. Angel has to deal with the fact his actual romantic interest do not remember him (I Will Remember You much???). More, she end up with someone flesh of his flesh (Angel has to be careful about his children and his woman... he should learn ... Read More
Rating: - wicked good
excellent show. i spent the better part of a year watching all 7 seasons of Buffy & all 5 seasons of Angel.

- This is the worst season of any show I've ever managed to finish, and that's not an exaggeration
I got into Angel as a Buffy fan, I imagine that's true of most people. I watched seasons 1-3 and liked them well enough to buy and start season 4.
The problem is, season 4 is terrible. Its all about Connor and Angel, probably the 2 weakest characters and definately the weakest relationship in either series. Darla is gone. Cordelia is gone. Lorne and Gunn play increased rolls, badly. Wesley is alienated from the others, minimizing the strongest character on the show. Every single episode ... Read More

- Typical Joss - he ruins a once great show
Although a once hard-core BtVS / AtS fan, I gave up on Buffy in Season 6 and Angel in Season 4.Typical Joss Whedon - he makes great characters and then can't resist ruining them by introducing more and more plot contrivances and less and less subtlety, in what I assume is an ongoing effort to one-up himself.
This season of Angel, though well-written and well-acted, takes the downward turn in plot that started in Season 3 (Connor, the Cordy ascension, the icky and ham-fisted Cordy/Angel ... Read More
Rating: - Great DVD for Angel Fans
