15 Best Angel Episodes

"You wanna give us your evil law firm?"

Season four was a shambolic mess. Too dark and inconsistent, it was a never-ending series of character assassinations and shoddy storytelling. But the finale, for all the season's faults, was great TV. Not only was it well-made, moving, surprising and clever, but it was also a game changer like no other.

With big bad Jasmine finally out of the picture, the finale went ahead and threw a curveball into the mix, with series-long antagonist Wolfram and Hart (a supernatural law firm) being offered to Angel and his team. Meanwhile, Angel confronts the idea of losing his son and taking over control of the law firm that has plagued his life for the last few years.

It's a smart and clever tie-in of all the subplots running through the season, setting up what promised to be an epic fifth season. The emotion is high, the visuals a treat, and although it doesn't undo all the bad stuff that came with the rest of the season, it remains a show highpoint all the same.
