Especially Buffy Seasons 5-7.

I mean everything seems so much bigger in scale. All looming towards a potential showdown with Wolfram + Hart and not just leading to a a big bad showdown at the end of the season (though there were indeed big bads).

Better characters. Better storylines. Better score. Better and bigger sets.

I mean how many damn times were they just walking around Sunnydale with not a single person in sight?

Buffy was a classic, but I'll have to agree.

Personally, Buffy clicked with me a lot more than Angel. I've got nothing against Angel, it's a good show, but Buffy at its best is some of my favorite television.

Also, Buffy season 5 is my favorite season.

Don't get me wrong. I loved Buddy Seasons 1-3 and it is some fantastic TV. The later seasons had a good, impactful episode here and there too.

Just a whole, it's just not as good IMO.

Too many people each trying to pull the show the direction they wanted it.

yea, I remember liking Buffy, but I preferred Angel.

the whole neo-noir, urban fantasy stuff was really cool, and it had a lot of memorable characters.

I'm not sure I can choose between them, they're different shows. Buffy is a lot cheesier overall, and yeah the later seasons were a bit iffy. Angel has a darker, more serious tone, but the early seasons (especially season 1) weren't great overall. And then Connor, yikes. Comparing their best episodes and story arcs I would put them pretty much dead even.

The best Buffy episodes are leagues ahead of the best Angel episodes. Angel had a better plot, but characterization was muddy and ending was unfortunately rushed.

Buffy has higher highs but lower lows. Angel is much more consistent.

So I now just learned the story of Anne...

Holy shit. I've watched each series at least 10 times and never picked up on it.

Wesley was the best character in the whole series IMO. I didn't care for him in Buffy but that was just the start of his long story arc in which he shows a lot of growth.

It was definitely more consistent and Angel S5 was the best in the Buffyverse
