WB公司出品的Buffy兄弟剧，获得多项电视大奖。

正如巴菲旨在捕捉许多青少年经历的郊区压迫的感觉，天使描绘了孤独，危险和冷酷的感觉通常归因于城市洛杉矶特大城市。 一天的有序世界和夜晚的混乱世界之间的分界是黑色的商标主题，通过描绘一个字面上没有白天生活的主角，该系列能够以更戏剧性的隐喻方式探索这些相同的主题。

  Just as Buffy was intended to capture a sense of the suburban oppression experienced by many teens, Angel depicted the feelings of loneliness, danger and callousness often attributed to the urban Los Angeles megalopolis. The divisions between the ordered world of the day and the chaotic world of the night have been trademark themes of noir and by depicting a protagonist who literally has no daytime life, the series was able to explore these same themes in more dramatic metaphorical ways.
