Angel

Angel, a vampire cursed with a soul, leaves Buffy the Vampire Slayer to seek redemption in Los Angeles. There, he and his band of misfit demon hunters at the Angel Investigations agency fight supernatural evil and strive to help the helpless. The series explores themes of atonement, the nature of good and evil, and the struggle for one's soul.
