Intense and driven, Allison writes off the seemingly inebriated nut who pops into her life claiming to be her guardian angel right away, but when all of Amy's warnings come true, she's forced to reconsider her stance. Warned by Amy not to tell anyone about her, Allison is unable to talk about the situation with her father and business partner, Marv, or her younger brother, Brad. Unable to resist the strange woman's insistence that she will nudge her in the right direction in life, a reluctant Allison agrees to the friendship which, in the end, may turn out to be exactly what the doctor ordered.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Banish thee from the airwaves, oh Angel from Hell, for sins of commonplace sitcom triteness and obnoxious use of an iconic comedic lead.

Amber Dowling TheWrap Jan 8, 2016
There is certainly enough charm and setup in Angel From Hell to build up a laugh-out-loud series, but whether audiences will want to stick with it during a jam-packed midseason schedule after just an okay pilot remains to be seen. Go to Full Review Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter Jan 8, 2016
There are a lot of actors in the show that make decent jokes funnier than they might otherwise have a right to be. Go to Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Jan 7, 2016
The biggest lesson may be: Take this excellent cast and find a better show. Go to Full Review Max Nicholson IGN Jun 24, 2020

Alas, not even Lynch can save this one from damnation, between the show's mediocre writing and lifeless ensemble cast. Go to Full Review Glenn Garvin Reason Online Jun 24, 2020
[Lynch's] chemistry with Lawson is the best since Madame Curie hooked up with radium, and just as radioactive. Go to Full Review Rachel Handler Uproxx Jun 24, 2020
Angel From Hell is something of a purgatory for talented TV actors, actors who must be wondering what they did to deserve such a fate. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jan 10, 2018 Are the only people that rate things on rotten tomatoes brain dead 13 year olds that don't live in this world. If the show doesn't have some evil male straw man and a "perfect girl" that is terrible to everyone and goes completely unchecked then the show doesn't get a good review. I'm starting to think rotten tomatoes is for stupid people with no moral compass See more Jan 13, 2017 Uncomfortable, unusual, and uncommonly funny! See more Apr 14, 2016 ratings said j .l.'s character was obnoxious......not the character's fault...j.l. is obnoxious in person See more Feb 23, 2016 Like Jane but bad writing See more Feb 18, 2016 Fairly entertaining, love Jane Lynch, ridiculous that it was pulled before the season even finished. If there are more episodes, they should at least be aired. See more Feb 5, 2016 Very funny. Maggie Lawson and Jane Lynch do an excellent job -- great chemistry! One of the funniest, quick-witted shows in a long time. See more Read all reviews
