Here’s Where You Can Stream Or Buy Every Season Of Angel

(Welcome to Where to Watch, which provides a clear and simple answer to the question, “Hey, where can I watch this thing?”) Spinning out of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel” followed its titular vampire with a soul (David Boreanaz) from Sunnydale to Los Angeles, where he set up shop as a paranormal private investigator. The series, which ran for five seasons on the WB from 1999-2004, saw Buffy’s former flame seeking redemption for well over a century’s worth of past sins. Like its parent series, “Angel” used monstrous metaphors to explore very real issues, though it was darker in tone. “Buffy” remains my favorite show of all time, but without “Angel,” several characters, including Angel himself, would never have gotten their due. There aren’t a lot of truly great spin-offs, but this is one of them.
Boreanaz was joined by Charisma Carpenter as former mean girl Cordelia Chase, and the late Glenn Quinn as Doyle, a half-demon plagued by visions from the Powers That Be. Angel’s Scooby Gang would eventually grow to include Wesley Wyndam-Pryce (Alexis Denisof), Charles Gunn (J. August Richards), Winifred Burkle (Amy Acker), and Lorne (the late Andy Hallett). The show’s fifth and final season would even bring over James Marsters’ Spike once “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” had ended. The shows initially had crossover events, but those largely ceased once “Buffy” switched networks, at least until the final season. Few forms of escapism offer quite as much solace as getting lost in the Buffyverse, so how can you watch all five seasons of “Angel” right now?
