I just finished the first season of Angel. It was very well done, I enjoyed it quite a bit. They're still struggling a bit to find its own identity away from Buffy, but they start that with the episode where Angel tells Buffy to stay out of his city. While the crossovers are cool, they were smart not to over do them and let Angel stand on its own. In this season we see the evolution of Angel, more than even in Buffy he's starting to become more human and realize that he needs these people that he has in his life. The biggest growth is coming though from Cordelia, she's still some of the airhead she was in Buffy but by the end of this season you start to see her take on a more serious role and realize that there is more to life than the newest sale on shoes. All in all I'd rate the first season as a success, they stumbled a few times but mostly kept the quality of the series up to the task.

This show definitely grew up between season 1 and 2. I ended up losing track of it sometime in season 3.
