Angel is one of the best TV spin-offs ever made, an equally daring and extra dark tie-in to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It aired for five years, as many seasons and over 100 episodes, expanding the world and mythology so aptly crafted in its sister show.
The characters of Angel, Spike, Fred, Wesley, Gunn, Lorne and the like are all iconic as the most recognizable of TV characters; the show's balance of horror, drama and mystery was close to unrivalled.
With 110 episodes to its name, Angel hit fans with many great hours of television. A show not afraid to take risks and hurt its characters with mean twists and compelling storylines, the horror-drama features some of the best episodes in the entire Buffyverse. Sure, there were some blips - season four is far from great by most fans' admissions - but all told Angel knew exactly how to craft a great story with remarkable results.
With that in mind, from the classic monster-of-the-week entries, the genre-twisting horror-comedies and the thrilling action spectacles, here are the 15 best episodes from Angel's five-season run. Major spoilers throughout.
