Is Angel worth the watch?

I’m watching Buffy for the first time and I’m about halfway through season 7! I can already tell I’m going to miss this show soooo bad..will angel fill the void? I’ve always hated angel as a character (boring to me sry!) but Cordelia was my fav member of the early Buffy gang and I know she’s in it…will I be annoyed that the main character is angel or is it an interesting enough show that I could get over it lmao
