Incredibly ambitious, Season 3 of Angel sets out to prove itself as Buffy moves to a new network, cutting all ties. When Darla turns up pregnant with Angel’s child the team attempts to uncover how this impossible pregnancy occurred and what it could mean; meanwhile a vampire hunter from Angel’s past is resurrected to get his long awaited revenge. The writers do an impressive job at constructing the multi-episode story arcs and at building tension and suspense. Still, there are some tonal problems when they transition from the heavy, dramatic arcs to the lighthearted case-of-the-week episodes. Amy Acker joins the main cast and makes for a great addition to the team. And, recurring guest stars Daniel Dae Kim, Keith Szarabajka, and Laurel Holloman give especially good performances and make for interesting characters that enrich the show. It’s a bit of a mess at times, but overall Angel’s third season is remarkably compelling and is full of exciting action.
