Angel of Death is a web series created by Ed Brubaker. The series stars Zoë Bell as Eve, an assassin taking revenge on her former employers. The series also features Lucy Lawless. It is produced by White Rock Lake Production and distributed by Sony Pictures Television.

The episodes were released on Crackle from March 2 to March 13, 2009.

Plot

The show is a thriller about the assassin, Eve, who is employed by a ruthless crime family. After suffering a severe head trauma (knife through her head) while on the job, she begins to hallucinate and becomes haunted by her victims. As a result of her injury, Eve is driven to seek revenge on those who ordered the hits in the first place—her mob employers.[1]

History

While developing the story about a cold-blooded killer growing a conscience, Brubaker's original idea for the series was a hitman afflicted with brain cancer, but then remembered watching a scene in an old PBS documentary series where a patient walked into the ER with a hunting knife stabbed right through his skull, and drew inspiration from that for Eve's head injury. Angel of Death is Brubaker's first online series.[2]

The show reunites Lucy Lawless, Ted Raimi, and Zoë Bell - who all worked together on Xena: Warrior Princess. Bell was Lawless's stunt-double on the long-running series.

Other formats

Once the show finished its original online broadcast, it was released on DVD, with new footage.[3] The DVD was going to be released in June 2009, but instead ended up being released on July 28, 2009.Шаблон:Citation needed

A feature-length compilation of the web series was broadcast on Spike TV and was available for viewing on Hulu until 2017.[4]
