If you're a Buffy fan, I don't even know why I have to bother explaining why you should buy this - you should be clicking the "Buy" button as we speak.
This is the second best series ever to run (after Buffy itself of course). Season 5 takes place after the ending of Buffy after season 7, so you get something of an insight into what happened afterwards, and a familiar face crops up you thought was gone forever. As for seasons 1-4, they run alongside Buffy seasons 4+, after Angel's tear-soaked departure, even with the occasional guest-spot from Buffy characters.
This box set is a must-have. Better than most things on TV nowadays and you won't get sick of watching it. what're you waiting for: BUY IT!

I left it late to join the Angel fanclub due to my disliking of his character on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I found him to be at times a little dull. This being the case I avoided watching this series and instead proceeded to watch other works of genius from Joss Whedon such as Dollhouse - Season 1-2 [DVD] and Firefly - The Complete Series [DVD] [2003], which are both masterpieces of the imagination, and my favourite television programmes to date. However, when a friend introduced me to the first season of Angel, my opinion of him changed. While still not a fan of him in the Buffy series (I was always rooting for Spike) I must admit he is much improved when given his own show, he becomes a more rounded and likeable character. But that being said there are more fantastic characters created by Whedon here, and some familiar faces for fans of Buffy.
And, for those of you turning to Angel after watching Buffy, the similarities are there for all to see, but for want of better words I would describe it as being slightly more 'grown up', more akin to the later season's of Buffy, where darkness and emotion are more prevalent. Having now seen every episode, I can say that there was not one which disappointed me, they are all very watchable, with some outstanding ones to boot (Wesley-centric episodes are always great). Overall I wouldd urge you to dive into this set, and not wait as I did. Whedon, I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

Angel - Complete Collection [DVD]
Over all I really liked this angel box set. I bought it with out ever having watched an episode on TV, only ever seeing Buffy before, (which is also a good show and DVD box-set, so if you liked angel I'd would recommend that you buy that as well if you haven't already.) and was quite impressed with it.
Darker than Buffy with more adult themes, it depicts a good gritty view of LA with horror and comedy entwined neatly with it, (Plus the added fact that LA is inhabited by demons and that Angle himself is a Vampire.)
Season 1 and up to half way through season 2 are very good showing Angle's constant battle to regain his soul by working for The Powers' That Be, against the evil supernatural law firm Wolfram and Heart. From then on up to the beginning of season 4 the show gets a bit depressing. Season 4 was still quite dark - but not depressing (with the return of Angelus) - which made for an interesting season. Then season 5 was another interesting one not so dark with many twists and turns, plus the return of Spike.
As I said before, I do recommend this box set, if you can afford to splash out that is.

This was the best series ever, sadly cut by the company who produced it. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth. I have all the episodes on video, but wanted to upgrade. Read more
