Season 5
In the supernatural thriller's fifth and final season, Angel - a vampire cursed with a conscience and a soul - and his loyal friends have taken over the city's powerful supernatural law firm, Wolfram and Hart, and are waging war against the dark side - one evil client at a time.
Their client list is a mix of good and evil characters, including a werewolf, a necromancer who uses human bodies as vessels for demon spirits, and a terrorist who threatens Los Angeles with a deadly virus.
Along the way, familiar faces from Sunnydale turn up unexpectedly, including Spike's former squeeze, vampire/valley girl Harmony (Mercedes McNab), who is Angel's new secretary.
For now, however, Angel finds himself in a new and brighter world, surrounded by hundreds of co-workers and clients, but only a handful of people he can trust.
Angel may have emerged from the darkness, but the line between good and evil will be harder to see than ever before.
All he can do is go on with his quest to redeem himself - and the rest of the world.
