Prepare yourself for falling for Angel - because he is so much better on his own show!
Absolutely! To me, Angel seemed something of a cipher on BtVS, his primary action to be Buffy's love interest. That's one of the reasons I love the Angelus arc in Season 2 because it takes him out of the traditional boyfriend/love interest mold and gives him something else to do -- while still remaining locked in this emotional dance with Buffy. When he's not Angelus on BtVS, well, I think Xander's view of him and Buffy in "The Zeppo" is actually a pretty accurate one.
On his own show, however, he has a sense of humor, he has foibles, he snarks about things and gets frustrated and he's a bit clueless about some things in a way that's a great character flaw. I fell for Angel as a character when he told Doyle that the Cordettes were like the Soviet Secret Police except that they cared for shoes.
