Angel is also the title of a [[TV]] show portraying various [[occult]] themes. [[Demons]], [[vampires]], [[ghosts]] and other occult forces are shown regularly. However, there is some (controversial) reference to real-world morality. The title character is a vampire who regains his soul. Unfortunately this means that due to his past deeds he is destined for [[hell]] when he dies. He spends much time and effort trying to do good works in the hope of avoiding this fate. This suggests that [[salvation]] is possible through good works alone, and not through a relationship with [[Jesus]], who is not mentioned. The show has drawn much criticism for portraying such an misleading moral message on nationwide TV. | Angel is also the title of a [[TV]] show portraying various [[occult]] themes.
