I don't think I have a favorite season. Every year it seemed like there were things I liked juxtaposed against things I really didn't. I'd say... 2.5 to 3.5? Can you start and end mid-way through a season? :P I never enjoyed Angel like BTVS but at the same time it never angered me like Buffy.
Most importantly, the third season properly introduces Fred, who soon becomes the clever, sunny, quirky fan favourite
Yeah, I suspect the writer is showing a little bias there. I wouldn't call Fred a fan favorite, tbh. For a long time, my feel of other folks was she was like Tara. Most people liked her or didn't mind her (except when she came between Gunn and Wes), but not many I saw were 'fav character!' or anything.
Random possibly unpopular opinion... S5 doesn't match the show to me. It sticks out and feels like something the writers tacked on as an allegory for them compromising with the WB than an organic Angel story. To me, the show was always about finding your place in the world, inner peace and family. S5 is kinda the opposite. While I enjoy some stuff in S5 like TGIQ, it feels like it doesn't count. I'm not all 'not canon!' about it, but I have this unbidden mental switch-off that the whole 'verse ends with Chosen/Home.
