I did like when the show dealt with the main arc, Loyalty, Sleep Tight, and Forgiving were incredible, but it just seemed like a really up and down season for me in between those bigger moments

Maybe it didn't help that I wasn't into the Angel/Cordelia romance, it always felt a bit forced to me tbh. I really wasn't sure what to make of Angel thinking of settling down with Cordelia, or becoming a father and juggling work with a crying infant, it was when things for dark that I really enjoyed that year the most
