Angel (the Buffy spinoff)

So I made it to Angel now, having re-finished Buffy seasons 1-3 (and I see old threads in General but none that I could resurrect). Just finished the pilot episode... eh. Not really good. I'm just not seeing the same level of energy from Buffy or the punchy dialogue. Kind of blah. I dunno if I've ever seen this episode before, or possibly any of early Angel stuff. Alternately, maybe I did see it and it didn't leave any impression at all on me. I'm just not seeing the "fun" here. Yet. Around 99, though, probably the push was to make Angel more adult and maybe even like "Highlander," the TV show that was ending at that point.
