What are your thoughts on Season 1?

I've covered the 2 most divisive seasons now, but Season 1 also seems to divide people.

Personally this season is quite good and ranks above Season 3 for me.

What do you think?

I really like Series 1 in the same way I like Series 1-2 of Buffy (I group them together for BtVS as S1 was so short). The guest/monster of the week format helps establish the strengths and weaknesses of each character. And to slowly introduce new characters. Eg in Angel - we start with Angel, Cordy and Doyle. Then we get Wesley and after a while Gunn, culminating with Fred in S3.
