The plot centers around the eponymous vampire, who had a curse placed on him by Gypsies hundreds of years ago that gave him his human soul back, along with two centuries' worth of guilt for all the misery he caused. On ''Buffy'', Angel learned that he could make amends for it and left Sunnydale to pursue this course on his own. He soon cobbled together his own WestCoastTeam (well, it's [[UsefulNotes/LosAngeles the same coast]], but you get the idea) and formed an OccultDetective agency to aid him as he challenged the forces of evil.

Over the course of its run, the show started with MonsterOfTheWeek episodes laced with a hard-boiled, Sin City atmosphere, but later jettisoned it for something more akin to modern fantasy mixed with AncientConspiracy. The series dealt with a complex meditation on the nature of good and evil, with Angel himself being an enigma on both sides. Much like ''Buffy'', ''Angel'' switched directions on a semi-regular basis; by the fifth season, of the original starring cast of three, only David Boreanaz as the title character remained. On the upside, several ''Buffy'' cast members wound up migrating over to ''Angel'' - totaling out at five characters by series' end - along with numerous [[CrossOver crossovers]] within the '[[SeriesFranchise verse]].

'''''Angel''''', a SpinOff of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', ran for five seasons on the WB network (1999-2004). Part horror, part melodrama, part neo-noir and with a helping of comedy (a given for [[JossWhedon Whedon]]), ''Angel'' spent its run in the popular shadow of its parent show.

The show centers around the eponymous vampire, who had a curse placed on him by Gypsies hundreds of years ago that gave him his human soul back -- and has caused him to live with the guilt of the misery he caused as a vampire. On ''Buffy'', Angel learned that he could [[TheAtoner make amends for it]] and left Sunnydale to pursue this course on his own. He soon cobbled together his own WestCoastTeam (well, it's [[UsefulNotes/LosAngeles the same coast]], but you get the idea) and formed an OccultDetective agency to aid him as he challenged the forces of evil.

Over the course of its run, the show started with MonsterOfTheWeek episodes laced with a heavy dose of a Detective FilmNoir atmosphere, but later evolved into something more akin to modern fantasy mixed with AncientConspiracy. The series dealt with a complex meditation on the nature of good and evil, with Angel himself being an enigma on both sides. The show switched directions on a semi-regular basis; by the fifth season, of the original starring cast of three, only David Boreanaz as the title character remained. On the flip side, ''Angel'' featured several characters from its parent series (totaling out at five by series' end), not to mention numerous [[CrossOver crossovers]] within the '[[SeriesFranchise verse]].

Highly arc-driven and [[ContinuityLockOut not especially accessible]] to the casual viewer, ''Angel'' nevertheless gained a devoted (if small) following that included numerous television critics. While the network cancelled the show abruptly in the fifth season, it still gave Joss and MutantEnemy enough time to give it a respectable GrandFinale. This became especially frustrating for the show's fans when they learned that ''Angel'' had made a respectable increase in viewership. Surprisingly, the series finale of ''Angel'' beat the series finale of ''Buffy'' in terms of total viewers.
