Angel

The Angel TV series is a spin-off on the hit TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This series made its first appearance in October, 1999. Angel is a vampire whose human soul has been restored as a measure of retribution for the crimes he has committed in the past. For as long as more than a century, Angel had been involved in murdering and torturing the innocents. The show primarily focuses on Angel’s road to liberation. Angel and his colleagues are a part of Angel Investigations, a team that works for the redemption of faith and saving of souls. Their job as part of the investigation agency entails fighting the supernatural evils and helping the helpless. Typically the episodes revolve around a villain, people needing help, or any kind of supernatural phenomena lurking around.

Apart from battling various types of demons, Angel and his colleagues have to battle werewolves, zombies, ghosts, as well as demon-allied humans. The Angel series has darker undertones, as compared to its parent series. A substantial part of shooting was done in Los Angeles. Joss Wheton, the creator of this series, cites that Los Angeles being a city harbouring a lot of demons is the reason for this city being the setting for the series. This spin-off show has managed to garner a lot of popularity, as well as inspire a host of merchandise items.
