Unlike Buffy , which is a coming-of-age story, Angel is about adult redemption and the moral complexities of fighting a "war" that may never end.
The primary antagonist is not just a single monster, but an interdimensional law firm that represents the "evil" inherent in the corporate and modern world.
The final season sees a massive shift as the team takes over the Los Angeles branch of Wolfram & Hart to try and change the system from within. Where to Watch
