The series premiere of Angel definitely has a stronger start than the corresponding season of Buffy. "City Of" does a great job at introducing the character of Angel to an audience that might not be completely aware of the vampire with a soul. The opening scene in the bar where Angel first appears drunk and then we realize he is acting in order to protect a damsel in distress was a perfect start for Angel's new adventures. It is clear from the get go that this show will be different from Buffy and that was a good thing. It would have been easy to just recreate the Buffy formula but the Angel crew took him in his own direction and it pays off. Doyle is introduced as a great foil to Angel. One of them carries the weight of the world on his shoulders and has the furrowed brow to prove it; while the other tries very hard to balance the serious of the mission with humanity. The plot of the episode gives the show an old school detective movie vibe that fits in nicely with the new Los Angeles locale. Once Cordelia joins the trio by the episode's end we have a great team established who will be ready for the new challenges that LA and the mysterious Wolfram & Hart will provide.
