Exposition dump at the start is understandable since while many people would already have watched Buffy, they can't make assumptions so filling the outline of the backstory is kinda necessary. I love how Cordy went from "omg i'm in trouble!" to "oooo i'm gonna need popcorn for this" :) Doyle was originally meant to be Whistler, the guy who initially helped Angel get out of the gutter back in BTVS, but the actor wasn't available & they'd likely have run into issues with Marvel, as Whistler is also the name of Blade's assistant, so it worked out. A number of people criticised Glenn Quinn's Irish accent as inauthentic but that was a producer decision, they thought people wouldn't understand his working class Dublin accent (like UK, Ireland has a LOT of local accents) so asked him to americanise some pronounciations. They're both excellent shows, but they each have their own perspective & it's great that the Angel & Cordy as the main characters have the space to grow, as well as giving DB & CC space to really show off their acting abilities. And while I won't give any details, yes there are a few crossovers - the viewing order guide you're using takes those into account to keep everything all neatly lined up.
