This was one of the best seasons of Angel. I watched this show start to finish when it was on TV in the late 90's and early 00's. I recently purchased all of the seasons on DVD and loved the fifth season. James Marsters brought such a great addition to the cast. His character was always true to form and never strayed far from what he was. I know a lot of people have complained about the ending of this series but I think it was perfect.
The only negative of this season was the horrible puppet episode. I think it came off as a stunt that had little relavence to the story and was practically a wasted episode/
This was one of the most intertesting and heart breaking seasons of both the Buffy and Angel series'. I loved it and still love it.
What's great about it: James Marsters brings the funny
What's not so great: They have a puppet based episode
