Buffy’s back. Back from the dead, back in the Scooby house, back with the slaying. But has she brought something back with her?

There’s a demon robbing banks, three previously innocuous geeks have banded together to take over Sunnydale, the debts are building up, and the cellar is flooded…

Crikey, its been a while since ‘Angel’ has been this grim. ‘That Old Gang of Mine’ is pretty short of laughs, a fairly brutal story concerning vigilantism and loyalty which gives Gunn a rare mome

‘Life Serial’ is less a coherent story, and more of a ‘Buffy’ sketch-show. The newly-broke Buff tries to find a place for herself in the world at university, then working on a building site and i

Surprisingly for a show with such frequently dark subject matter, ‘Angel’ has always had a sense of humour about its own immense silliness. Lovers of farce will appreciate this take on that age old

A clever one this; with the title having three meanings, firstly, there’s the potential of little Dawnie going (ahem) ‘all the way’ with her smarmy potential boyfriend.

And so the inevitable Fred-centric episode arrives, and mercifully it’s a good one, cementing her position at Angel Investigations. When Fred’s parents arrive in LA, determined to find their daught

Musicals are becoming the format-breaker of choice on US TV these days. ‘Ally McBeal’ did one, ‘Chicago Hope’ did one – hell, ‘Xena’ did two. But trust writer-director-producer-genius Joss Whe

Welcome to the world’s shortest story arc! Remember that guy Angel pulled out of hell in ‘That Vision Thing’? Well, turns out he wasn’t being lined up for a major storyline, but for this excitin

Of the straight (that is to say, non-singing) episodes of Buffy featured in the first half of seasons six this is arguably the best. The central conceit – the gang all lose their memories – is simple,

Big explosions, big plot developments, and lots of scenes taking place in the rain…

This unashamedly double length story in two halves suffers from something that was once thought to be the eternal plague of the double-episode on US TV. That is to say, the two-parter which begins we

Still wondering why Warren, Jonathan and Andrew were stealing that big diamond in ‘Smashed’? Wonder no longer, as Warren assembles his best invention yet – an invisibility ray. The trio accidental

In this episode, Buffy gets a job in McDonalds (or the Sunnydale equivalent).

Every great American TV must do its take on Frank Capra’s ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ sooner or later. It’s the law. In fact, given the fidelity with which this particular rule is stuck to, it’s probably

After last week any kind of light relief (well, except more burger bar antics) would be welcome, but there’s not really much of that on offer here.

After the intensity of recent weeks, this nifty, albeit silly, episode sees a cooling off of the ongoing plotlines as Angel comes to terms with fatherhood…

Buffy’s life is not the best it could be. Working in a burger bar, sleeping with someone she hates… not brilliant…

This is something to get excited about – an episode both written and directed by Joss Whedon. As his attention is split between more and more projects, so the rarity of getting a single, undiluted do

Like almost everything since Christmas, this episode of Buffy works for only about half of its running time.

Ally McBeal may be on its way out, but its good to see someone taking on the mantle of camp office romantic comedy…

After a shaky first year, it’s in this second season that ‘Angel’ steps out of the shadow of its Big Sister show…

There is no such thing as a Vampire Slayer. There are no such things as Vampires. Sunnydale isn’t a real place. Like Dawn, Spike, Willow and Xander it only exists in the mind of Buffy Summers, a girl in a mental institution whose parents want her to get better.
It’s an intriguing premise for an episode, [...]

Talk about being born under a dark star – poor little Connor really doesn’t stand a chance, does he?

This week, Angel takes the concept of anti-hero to exciting new heights.

It’s difficult to discuss – let alone review in a public forum – this episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. This is because some of that which occurs in it invokes issues far beyond those you would or should normally engage with in a TV review.
