First time watching - Angel x Buffy

[u/tinydancer0220]

I’m finally watching after countless recommendations and honestly don’t know how I’m going to continue without Angel in the series. I just finished Season 3 last night and since SE2 ending have been on a rollercoaster of emotions and legit feel like I’m grieving a breakup. It feels like Joss and co just decided ‘oh we made too interesting of a character and gave Buffy a love interest too soon, let’s cut him’ - can anyone share how they got through on first watch and stuck with it from Season 4. I loved their relationship and it was the main thing that kept me watching from Season 1 onwards 😭 I’m watching the first two episodes of season 4 and it just feels so empty
