\'Angel\'

As was the case last season, "Angel" continues to be the more creative and cohesive than sister show "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer." While series creator Joss Whedon is constantly finding himself at loose ends with Buffy's plots and characters, he seems to revel in the slightly darker L.A. atmosphere of "Angel." \nAlthough Elizabeth Rohm is unfortunately nowhere to be found as super-cop and perfect "Angel" foil Kate, the show's action is still intact with the addition of Darla (Julie Benz,) the vampire who transformed Angel and whom he killed back in Buffy's first season.
