As much a Buffy fan that I am, I think Angel actually ultimately surpassed it for complexity, drama and satisfaction.
A much darker and more adult show than Buffy, it follows Angel's move to L.A at the end of season 3 of Buffy. A couple of characters followed him, and this finally allowed the terrific Charisma Carpenter to get into the limelight as Cordelia Chase and become an integral part of the story.
My favourite seasons are 2 (with the return of Drusilla and Darla), 3 (as the story of Darla and Angel's newborn child takes everyone down a very dark path) and 4 (with the longer term return of Angel's dark side Angelus and some big twists along the way for several major characters) and I still love the way the show ended after season 5, even though at the time it wasn't well recieved.
Cracking show!!
As previously mentioned by Kevin, Angel the series was forever in the shadow of parent show Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Angel didn't have silent or musical episodes. Angel didn't tragically lose a parent either - he ate his (and they "tasted like chicken").
What started initially as a Victim Of The Week soon evolved into stories relating to the central core of characters, bringing a new member into the fold with each season. The mythology of the Buffyverse grew more within Angel than it ever did in Buffy, and the series really began to stand on its own two feet with Season 3 when Buffy moved networks. Complicated and deep story arcs tragic deaths, emotional storytelling, excellent writing, wonderful characters and a wicked good end to the series make Angel one of my favourite TV shows of all time...
