Many fans of the series would agree that during Angel’s five-year run, season four was it’s strongest. It was the first, and only, time that the series made a drastic change in format. Nearly all episodes, 22 in total, ran along a single continuous plot. Not that different compared to Fox’s other hit series "24." Beginning at around the episode "The House Always Wins", each episode essentially hangs with a major cliffhanger and immediately continues at the beginning of the next. This was much more engaging than the s...andard "monster of the week" formula that was used prior.
If you’ve never watched season four when it aired on television than be prepared to have your social life vanish as you can’t help but watch every episode as quickly as possible. With a show that involves one major cliffhanger after another, you can’t help but be drawn to watching just "one" more episode. Next thing you know 3 hours have passed and you’ve watched 4 episodes back to back.
