Oooh, if people have been telling you that fourth-fifth season Angel wasn't good, let me be a contradictory voice; I loved those seasons. I'm a sucker for very dark, twisted stories, and season four in particular is wonderfully twisted. Which only works as well as it does because we (well, I) still care about the characters, and want them to make the right choices. But ... then, sometimes, they don't. Certainly plot points aren't executed perfectly, but the larger story is very nifty and entertaining.
And Spike is an interesting character (again) in season five. He doesn't reach the heights of season five BtVS (I agree that was his best season), but that's a hard standard to meet.
