A [[Spin-Off]] of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', ''Angel'' debuted in 1999, running 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 [[Joss Whedon|Whedon]]), ''Angel'' spent its run in the popular shadow of its parent show. Center to everything is the vampire named Angel, cursed by Gypsies into regaining his human soul and living with the guilt of the misery he caused. On ''Buffy'' he learned that he could [[The Atoner|make amends for it]] and he left Sunnydale to pursue this course on his own. He soon gathered a close group of friends and formed an [[Occult Detective]] agency to aid him as he challenges the forces of evil.
