You see, I was once a badass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I'm just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. No, not the hair! Never the hair!

After saving Sunnydale from an impending apocalypse (again!), a heartbroken Angel travels to L.A. in search of his destiny. While there, he meets up with Cordelia. For next five seasons, with the help of some new and old friends, they set out to help the helpless while battling the evil Law firm, Wolf Ram and Hart.

The problem with spin-offs is that they will always be compared to the original series and are often looked upon as a lesser substitute. This is the case with Angel. As a series, Buffy took a lot more risks than Angel by using silent episodes, musical episodes and even a rather brutal attempted rape scene by one of the shows regular characters. However, Angel still had a lot to offer - good characters, eternal struggles, snappy dialogue and parallel dimensions (check out the episodes set in Pylea at the end of season two, fantastic stuff).

Towards the end of Season Four, it kinda lost it a bit. Cordelia gets pregnant by Connor, Angel’s son, which in itself was heavy on the Ick factor!!! And then, Cordelia gives birth to a fully-grown God, which was just a little bit odd for me. Therefore, with Buffy ending and Angel losing viewers, threats of cancellation loomed. A huge internet campaign was launched by all of the loyal Angel fans and they managed to save it for one more season… and what a season it was!!!
