![Angel - Series 4 Part 1 [VHS] [2000]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4171KYQ4WFL._SL160_.jpg)
Cordelia seems to have left her memory in Heaven and an attempt to regain it in "Spin the Bottle" (written by the show's creator Joss Whedon) causes chaos as her love for Angel has been replaced by a strange obsession with young Connor. Fred finds out more about how she was trapped in a demon dimension in "Supersymmetry" and we meet a mysterious woman who shoots electricity from her fingers in "Ground State". In an attempt to find out more about the Beast, Angel is turned back into his evil former self, Angelus, who demonstrates to his former friends just how much damage he can do locked in a cage by using his eyes and his vicious tongue. This is Angel's most tightly dramatic season yet--with a story arc of surprising intensity punctuated by the show's usual wit and sexiness. --Roz Kaveney

As the fourth season of Angel starts, everything is still as we left it in the previous series: 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.
Scary Angelus is back

So now we're onto season 4 and what does Joss has is store for us this season, well season 4 is quite a depressing season mainly because of the solar eclipse. If you watch Angel then you will probably have seen season 3 and as you probably remember Angel ends up at the bottom of the ocean after his disturbed and very annoying son, Connor dropped him of the bk of his boat. Well everyone knows there are 5 seasons of Angel so without giving anything away, basically Angel is fine and there is a nice reunion for him and Wes. Wes continues his affair with Lilah which becomes important as the season progresses!! One of the funny epiosdes is The House Always Wins in which the gang visit a Las Vegas casino in search of Lorne. The brilliant Charisma Charpenter returns as Cordy and with a few tricks of her own, unfortunately she can't remember anyone and ends up with the new boy. I'm not going to ruin it for anyone but i hate him even though it was all consensual it was stupid because i wanted Angel and Cordy to end up together!!
By the end of the first half of season 4 you will be hooked and you will have to watch the next half. All i can say is how do they get Angel's soul bk and who is the real Cordelia, you'll have to watch to find out more!!!

Oh...my...(well, u know...)

What can I say about Angel Season 4? I think WOW pretty much sums it up! Things really do get turned on their head in this awe-inspiring season. I was absolutely captivated by the wonderfully haunting Habeas Corpses...I suppose watching it in the dark kinda notched it up a few on the scare rating! I have yet to watch on from that point but I have high hopes for what I suspect to be the best Season in Angel's history.
I was never really a huge fan of the second and third seasons myself; I thought the more Greenwalt, Whedon et al tried to bring out the darkness in Angel's character, the more they "lost the funny" in relation to the rapid decline of Cordy's cutting remarks and the whole group dynamic of the Angel Investigations crew. Oh how wrong I was! Relationships are more fraught in this season than ever before, but I'm pretty sure that's gonna turn out to be a good thing!
A warning to the timid however; Apocalypse nowish brings an entirely new issue to the fore...an issue I'm sure no-one could ever have predicted! Disturbing it might be...but dull it certainly isn't!!
A great opener for Season 4

I have always thought that Angel was for the grown-ups...Buffy for the kids. This season has proved me right. We have lost the happy-go-lucky Angel back at the end of Season 3 and the first 3 episodes of this season proved that. I was dubious that the Connor character would somehow be integrated into Angel Inc. and father and son would be reconcilled. How wrong I was! Connor is even further from Angel now and makes for an interesting string within the main story. Cordelia's sudden return is also welcome, although what delights the Powers That Be have in store for her is unknown at present, but I'm hoping it will shake things up. Can't wait to see how this pans out....
WOW!

A fantastic start to the season - Awakening is potentially the best Angel episode to date. A must-own for all Angel fans.
Best Season Yet!

Angel - Season 4 is without a doubt the best season yet. Angel and all its characters have really come into their own which makes the storys even better. You actually care what happens to all of the characters. Even though Angel contains demons and Vampires all their characters are very much real and they tackle everyday issues. While Buffy is aimed for kids and teenagers, Angel is alot darker and is aimed more for adults. Fans of Buffy who are under 13 will proberly find it hard to like Angel. But if you are above that age you will proberly end up liking it more than Buffy. Angel blends action, drama and comedy together with ease. I recomend this box set to ANYONE over 13. Once you start watching you will be hooked.
