“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” receives the vast majority of
geek love, but I personally preferred its spin-off. “Angel” was more adult, less
cutesy pie (no talk of “smoochies” or “scoobies” to offend the ear). Although
the title character—Buffy’s brooding, befanged ex-beau—was a bit of a drip, the
supporting players were almost uniformly fab. And while “Buffy” certainly
declined in quality over time, “Angel” hit its stride in season five when he
and his gang took over an evil law firm (I know, I know, they’re all evil. Hardy har).
