It aired in 1997 and it is one of the most popular, Greek television series. In Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003), Romanies in 19th Century Romania place a curse on the vampire Angelus to punish him for the murder of a teenage Romani girl (said to have been as "dumb as a post"), by restoring his human soul (and by extension, his conscience) and forcing him to feel guilt for his crimes.
