Fallen Angels is an American neo-noir anthology television series that ran from August 1, 1993, to November 19, 1995, on the Showtime pay cable station and was produced by Propaganda Films.

Each episode is based on a story by a noted hardboiled crime writer, including Raymond Chandler, Jim Thompson, Cornell Woolrich, James Ellroy, Evan Hunter, Mickey Spillane, Dashiell Hammett and Walter Mosley.

• The episode was filmed at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, where in 1968 Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated the evening he won the California presidential Democratic Party primary.

Streeter (Joe Mantegna) and brutal Creighton (Bonnie Bedelia) are corrupt cops of the Los Angeles Police Department whose antics lead to a tragic end when a shakedown plan goes awry.

Mitch Allison (Peter Gallagher) steals $25,000 from his con-artist wife Bette (Nancy Travis) and jumps on a train hoping to double the money in a gambling scam.

Fixer and bag-man Buzz Meeks (Gary Busey) is hired by two of his bosses: the multi-talented Howard Hughes (Tim Matheson) and the mafia gangster Mickey Cohen (James Woods).

A boxer's wife (Mädchen Amick) is unhappy with her marriage and leaves her husband Matt Cordell (Kiefer Sutherland) for another man.

A well known socialite (Kristin Minter), known to hang out at nightclubs and involved with gambler Babe McClure (Michael Rooker), is missing.

In his review for the Associated Press, Scott Williams wrote, "We're asking a lot of TV to deliver entertainment about that stylish, moral abyss.

[3] In his review for The New York Times, John J. O'Connor called it, "uneven but diverting, even when just hovering around film-school level".

Even by today's commonplace high standards, however, the look and feel of the six Fallen Angels films seem transportingly authentic and sensuous, stylized in ways that evoke the milieu without spoofing it.

Grove Press released a companion book, Six Noir Tales Told for Television, (1993) with all the original stories and the screenplays from the first season.
