I finished with season 4 of Angel just a couple of nights ago. All I can say is that if season 5 gets better...I CAN'T WAIT!
Chrisisall, don't you dare skip season 4!
Angel is fast becoming one of my favorite shows ever, probably will end up in at least the top five all time.

I finished S1 and frankly, it was good, but not 'Buffy' good.

Well, you've seen the best (2&3) of Buffy, and only the first season of Angel. You gotta give the poor guy a chance.

It gets better as everyone finds their place a little more.
You have to start a new thread for S2... we'll help you through it!

Chrisisall,
I don't think it's all that surprising that Buffy's feel changed as the show went on. It was in large part about growing up and moving into the adult world, so as Buffy gained more adult responsibilities the show's feel had to change. Angel was about redemption for past mistakes. Anegl, Cordy, Doyle, Wes, Gunn, Faith, Spike, and Harmony all had things in their past to atone for. (Fred and Lorne not so much but still) So, the feel of the show would stay pretty consistent. Or that's my view anyway.

The first half of SEASON 4 is brilliant
The second half got into the wrong story
line in the fourth quarter.

The history of the writing of Season 4 without spoilers, is thus:
Charisma Carpenter (Chordy) got pregnant. Congradulations all around of course!
But, the storyline of Angel Season 4 had to change at the last minute to accommodate said pregnancy. She was originally set to be the Big Bad that season! Joss said so. So some convoluted and very bizarre plot points were created to get her the time she needed bring to the world her little bundle of joy.
So all of the things that make it a 'bad' season can be pinned on the nescessary last minute changes to the arch of the story.
Apart from that however, I think Season 4 of Angel was truly epic. It was huge. It was like an eighteen hour movie with very few stand alone episodes, and a huge arch. I liked it. It wasn't Angel Season 2, which totally freaked me out, but in that 'Oh my god I can't beleive they did that to my characters that I love, and it makes so much sense, and what great acting, but I'm really freaked out and distrurbed by how dark this is but it's also funny too.' kind of way.
Anyway. Don't skip Season 4. just keep in mind what went into composing the overarching story.

Actually S4's "Orpheus" was one of my favorite episodes in all of Angel soooo....

Whilst not one of my favourites, actually ranking bottom for me, I definitely wouldn’t say that it was a “bad season”, just not the strongest.
Having said that, it is, as many pointed out, perhaps the most experimental seasons running – with that huge arc.
It also has some very strong episodes; ‘Apocalypse, Nowish’, ‘Orpheus’, ‘Inside Out’ and ‘Home’ being amongst my favourites of the show’s five year run.
I seen so much death... I been on fields carpeted with bodies, friends and enemies - i seen men and women blown apart to messes no further from me to you. But every single ones of those people died on their feet. Fighting. Or, hell, running away - doing summat to get through...
