This series just gets better and better; what started off as a confusing jumble, has now transformed into a lucrative storyline that feels like it could be a season of buffy in itself (although it takes place during season 4). I enjoyed the Angel crossovers and the use of some characters popping up from various buffy novels  but it can be confusing to where exactly it takes place as there isn't  many references to the show so I'm not considering this canon, but still a fun extension of the buffy verse.
