I rather like season one. I think the production values aren't as high as they would be in later years, I hate Walter Murphy's borderline amatuerish music score (not a patch on the work Christophe Beck, Robert Duncun and Rob Kral would bring to the Buffy/Angel verse in later years), but what it lacks in those regards it more than makes up for with great acting, writing and stories. You gotta love a season of television that has episodes like The Pack, Angel, Nightmares and Out of Mind, Out of Sight.
