Angel (1999–2004)

Angel continues his adventures after leaving Sunnydale at the end of season 3 of Buffy and moves to Los Angeles where he starts an investigation company.

A spin-off series from the Buffy The Vampire Slayer universe that places a beloved character in the foreground. Very popular in his time, Angel did not rise to the level of Buffy, with its experimenting with a new, more mature and complex formula that follows the same "monster of the week" recipe, which actually works against it, because the production ambitions had to be limited by the technical development at the time and the financial constraints imposed by the producers. Sometimes aberrant, with less (successful) humor than its mother series, Angel created new characters, often fascinating (Fred) and used and transformed old characters, sometimes in a ridiculous way, with mixed results (Cordelia). The series in general is a bit motley with scattered quality, with obvious improvements towards the end of the series, when the very reason for the cancellation was the fact that it became too expensive.
