Angel is amazing so far this season. Maybe cause it's not on the radar, it cannot be criticized as much as BUFFY is. When BUFFY came out, it was constantly talked about and when BUFFY mania settled down, it was off the radar for a while, but some people were sick and tired of hearing about it. When I go to school or a party and BUFFY is mentioned, people almost automatically make a comment about BUFFY being stupid or that it's "just a show about a girl fighting monsters, how unrealistic."
