Then Russell turns his eye toward Cordelia. With Doyle as a reluctant wheelman, Angel turns commando to save the day. Later, Angel has his first contact with a sinister law firm that may figure prominently in future episodes. At the end, Cordelia and Angel decide to link fortunes to continue fighting the good fight as a sort of supernatural detective agency. At least until Cordy gets Hollywood's call.
High school's over, bud.
Angel , from Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon and his partner David Greenwalt, is a bold attempt to capitalize on the success of Whedon's hit series Buffy and to take the elaborate mythology he developed for that show in a new direction. Based on the rough cut of the initial episode, Whedon and company have succeeded in distinguishing Angel from its predecessor in a promising way. Buffy used the allegory of high school and vampires to look at the traumas of growing up. Angel is more like a blood-sucking Batman story about an adult facing the evils of the big city. You gotta make with the grown-up talk now.
