Synopsis of Angel

Angel is an American series created by Joss Whedon with David Greenwalt and aired on The WB. David Boreanaz stars as Angel, a more than 200-year-old Irish vampire who, after a century of murders, regains his soul through a Romani curse. That conscience torments him with guilt and remorse. When his relationship with Buffy, the vampire slayer, has no future, he settles in Los Angeles, California, determined to atone for his past. There he works as a private detective alongside a group of associates who try to help those who have no one. His mission is to restore faith and save the souls of those who have gone astray. Meanwhile, he must struggle against his own demonic nature and against creatures and people who ally themselves with them.

Trivia about Angel

According to the first draft of the script, Angel was going to include the character Whistler, played by Max Perlich, though the producers ultimately created a similar character named Doyle.
At first, the network toned down the concept: scenes from the pilot were cut and the episode "Corrupt" was scrapped entirely.
The theme song was composed by Holly Knight and Darling Violetta, an alternative rock group that had performed two songs in the third season of Buffy.
Fans responded with letter-writing campaigns, online petitions, blood and food drives, ads in industry magazines and mobile billboards.
David Boreanaz won the Saturn Award for Best Actor on Television in 2000, 2003 and 2004.
In two of the four seasons when both series were in production, Buffy's annual ratings beat those of Angel.
Entertainment Weekly ranked Angel eighth on its list of the greatest spin-offs of all time.
Production was halted for several weeks at the start of the first season because The WB felt a scene from the second episode was too dark, in which Angel watches a girl die and licks blood off the floor; the script was later revised.
