Sloan on “Gray’s Anatomy”) struts his stuff as the sinister brothel owner Duke, and newcomer Tom Lewis is adorably wholesome as Michael Hosea (Peckham in “A Discovery of Witches”). “The Vampire Diaries” fans will recognize Nina Dobrev, who has a brief but memorable role as Angel’s mother. Abigail Cowen (yes, the all-powerful daughter of Satan herself, from “ The Chilling Tales of Sabrina”) gives a nuanced performance as Angel, the haunted prostitute who struggles to find her place in the world.
