-Considered one of the best spin-offs in Spin-off herstory, the vampire Angel (David Boreanaz) tries to get a fresh start in Los Angeles after leaving his true love, Buffy, behind in Sunnydale. Instead, he finds a whole 'nother breed of fiends waiting to bring out his dark side. Along the way, he joins forces

I liked the show but it went downhill in later seasons, I vaguely remember some horrible storyline with Cordelia and Angel's son. But I liked it when Spike showed up, him and Angel together were fun to watch.

Spike was so much fun in the show and really brought the humour. I liked his banter with Angel a lot.

I loved that whenever Angel and Spike were together (even on BtVS), there was a very obvious annoyed sibling vibe. The actors and the writers were able to capture that feeling of two people who have known each other a really long time and know how to push each other's buttons. In S1-S4, Angel was the leader of the group and although there were sometimes heated discussions or arguments with the rest of the team, he clearly felt that he was in charge and made the important decisions. I loved that when Spike popped up in S5, Angel could no longer maintain the image of the serious brooding boss all the time because he was getting into petty bickering arguments with Spike in front of everyone.

100%! I hated everything after Cordelia left (she was my fave!), but Spike was a breath of fresh air and brought a good vibe to the show that I felt was lost. I was disappointed Cordelia wasn't there to enjoy it and snark with him.

OMG imagine Cordelia and Spike gossiping in the break room together about everyone at Wolfram Hart!

Season 4 had issues with all the Connor/Holtz/Jasmine stuff going on. Season 5 almost felt like a reset & I think Spike brought some much needed fresh energy to the show. He & Angel also had history but not since they both had souls so it also brought some perspective to the show that Angel wasn't the only vampire with a soul and Angel was cursed vs Spike fighting to get his back of his own free will. Their dynamic is great. I wish the show had gotten a Season 6 to properly kind of wrap up rather than being told they were being canceled & trying to rush to make Season 5 a series finale.

I feel like if WB still had Buffy and Buffy got a S8 then they would've renewed Angel for S6 but they never really cared about Angel w/out Buffy being around

Season 6 I remember reading the ideas for and Willow was going to appear as well as Oz to teach Nina about being a werewolf, so they were thinking about bringing back some of the Buffy characters.
