i absolutely hated how all the female characters got killed off in the last two seasons!!! c'mon, killing off cordy and fred?! coulda at least kept one girl for the female viewers! and what was with the teaser romance between angel and cordy? the series finale was also very disapointing.

Has to be season 4. I didnt like evil Cordy and Connor was just a pain in the arse. Connor was the most annoying character wasnt he?!

Evil Cordy. Nope.Not what I wanted. I know Joss doesn't write the show just to give fans what they want but...well..it's like Cordy started off as this superficial snob then grew to be a champion...then her last days are of her sleeping with conner and being the"bad guy". I know it technically wasn't her doing it but that is what my eyeballs saw.

Yeah I don't often disagree with Joss' decisions, but I never understood the motivation to make Cordy evil. As you said, even though season 4 wasn't actually Cordy, her actions poisoned the character for me. I wasn't at all bothered that she wouldn't return after season 4 ended. Has to be season 4. I didnt like evil Cordy and Connor was just a pain in the arse. Connor was the most annoying character wasnt he?! Connor was my favourite thing about season 4 so lol

I hated Connor in the 4th season, but when I saw the 5th season I thought Connor rocked. but I still don't like him in the 4th season.

Season 4 for sure. Still overally a good season but the writing was really inconsitent and sometimes it just seemed like the parts didn't really match the sum.

I put in a vote for season 4. Evil Cordy, Connor, bleh. Of course there were a couple good episodes in it, "Spin the Bottle" is one of my favorite Angel episodes ever.

I really can't choose. I do have a question though, does anyone know if there were actual budget cuts for season five? Because I remember rumours, but never remember anyone actually confirming it. I find it hard to believe because season five had great special effects and stunts which along with sets tend to take up alot of the money. Anyone have an official answer?

I went with Season 4 since it left me with a sick feeling. It is a very well done piece of work, but the story with the progression from bad to worse just got me down. Even in the end, when the team "won", there was still a loss and big compromise in taking W&H's offer. Of course I drooled when they brought out the cart with the MP5 and other assorted weapons; I'd have jumped on the security thing in a heartbeat.
I still think season 4 is excellent since the "feel" that got to me was likely intended, but I like the other seasons more.

Definitely season 4. I wasn't a fan of the whole Connor / The Beast / Evil Cordelia / Jasmine storyline.

I'm kind of amused that Season 4 is the underdog in this forum, given that it's Joss's favourite.
Anyway, I voted for Season 3. I love Darla and I love Holtz, but it's got some of my least favourite things ever, like annoying baby!Connor, annoying early-season!Connor, saintly Cordelia (from Double or Nothing to Tomorrow), floaty!Cordelia, Groo/Cordelia, the abrupt transition of Angel/Cordelia from "like" to "love", etc.

I really loved season four. It was daring, ambitious, and it took a lot of chances. Sure, they didn't always work out, but that's the chance you take...err...take chances.
Season 1 always bored me. It had a few nice episodes, but I've never really thought of an all-together monster of the week format as being the sorta' thing that fits the buffyverse.

Joss Whedon: Season 5 was fun in a challenging and limited way. We said "We're going to completely shift the paradigm and throw the entire show on its ear." And the network said "That's great! You have less money." Hiding that was the work of better men than I.

I liked all the seasons of Angel so I voted Season 5 just coz it was the last season I didn't want it too end.

I loved every season, but I always thought Season 1 was the weakest. I wasn't too big a fan of most of the first few episodes, but I of course loved the appearance of Wesley. If I had to rank the seasons in order of my favorite to least favorite it would be: Season 5 > Season 4 > Season 3 > Season 2 > Season 1. So obviously I feel as if they got better every year.

I gotta say I'm stumped by the poll results and some of the posts here. Season 2 got my vote. Easily the most directionless season with very little plot and only a handful of standout episodes, with a staggering amount of bad ones.
From best to worst:
Season 3 Season 5 Season 4 Season 1 Season 2

I'll have to say season 4 as well. We lost Cordy, it was bad.
But I will say, Willow being on the show was pretty enjoyable. The Faith arc was pretty damned good too.

I really didn't like season 5 because it was kinda un-eventful and had mostly filler episodes (Smile Time, Life of the Party) <GASP!> Smiletime is a filler episode? Oh no, that was one of the greatest comedic episodes of the series that made great satires of corporate hollywood. For all its entertainment, it moved the arc of the season forward and had great character development - (wes and fred getting together finally, gunn making a deal with a devil doctor, angel opening up to nina <vomits a lil at this>) SlayerLV, why do you call it a filler ep? Just wondering about your viewpoint.

S4. The storylines it focused on were not that great. I did not like Evil Cordy, I did not like Jasmine, nor did I enjoy watching Cordy do it with Connor - even if that scene was only a few seconds long. There were very few episodes that I actually liked, one being Spin the Bottle
