The TV pilot Angel From Hell is about an odd woman named Amy (Jane Lynch, Glee) who meets a high-strung Beverly Hills dermatologist named Allison. Amy claims to be Allison’s guardian angel, so she insinsutes herself into Allison’s life and continues to offer advice whether it’s bad or good — and whether Allison likes it or not.
