Most television spinoffs are, by definition, very similar to the original show. For example, Star Trek: The Next Generation gave us new characters and a new ship, but it still had all the fundamentals of The Original Series: an intrepid crew seeking out new life and exploring strange new worlds.

Meanwhile, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and the other countless spinoffs of Law & Order retain the original show’s killer combination of police investigative work and courtroom drama. The logic behind this is, of course, that you shouldn’t rock the boat too much with a new spinoff, and it should deliver the formulaic comfort food that audiences crave.

And then there’s Angel (1999), the spinoff of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. While the original show was about a happy-go-lucky group of young people fighting both external and internal demons, Angel was a grim neo-noir centered on a centuries-old vampire with a soul.

If that’s not bold enough, this show reinvented itself almost every season, keeping its most fervent fans on their toes. For this and many more reasons, this decades-old show remains the most ambitious spinoff in television history.

Angels and Demons

Angel was introduced in Season 1 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and he quickly became a fan-favorite character. Not only did audiences dig looking at hunky David Boreanaz, but they ate up the premise that he was a tortured vampire with a soul who inexplicably fell in love with a vampire slayer. Star-crossed lovers with a supernatural twist, the Buffy/Angel pairing would (for better or for worse) go on to inspire literature ranging from Twilight to A Court of Thrones and Roses. Sadly, their union wasn’t meant to be, and at the end of Buffy’s third season, Angel left Sunnydale to hang a shingle in Los Angeles.

He becomes a private detective seeking to “help the helpless,” and he is soon joined by Buffy’s former frenemy, Cordelia. The spinoff’s cast changes over time, introducing brand-new characters like Charles Gun and Winifred Burkle along with returning character (and former Watcher) Wesley Wyndham Price. While the faces and locations changed over time, one thing remained the same: Angel continued to expand everything we know about the beloved universe of Buffy. The final season completely changed things up, giving our heroes the keys to an evil law firm they hope to redeem with the help of Spike, who is inexplicably alive again after his heroic death in the final episode of Buffy. 

New Enemies, New Allies

Ironically, Angel’s greatest strength is that it’s almost completely different from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Sure, there are some familiar elements, including colorful characters and quirky, Whedon-esque dialogue. But the show takes its tonal cues from its title character: while Buffy was as silly and quippy as its titular Slayer (Season 6 notwithstanding), Angel is as dark and brooding as its titular vampire.

Additionally, doing the right thing always comes at a price in Angel. Sure, your favorite characters save the city and save the world, but this often comes at the cost of their souls and even their lives. 

While Buffy the Vampire Slayer notoriously has an ultra-depressing, ultra-edgy sixth season, Angel evenly spreads its existential despair throughout the entire series. That’s why the show isn’t for everyone: if you’re expecting something as bright, happy, and funny as Buffy, you’re going to be disappointed.

However, if your vampire tastes are a little darker (more like Nosferatu than Dracula: Dead and Loving It), you’ll likely appreciate this more mature take on supernatural storytelling. It helps, of course, if you’re a big fan of neo-noir. Even if you don’t care that much for the deep Buffyverse lore, you can enjoy the show for its episodic, mystery-of-the-week stories.

Call Your Friends And Watch It Together

Without giving too much away (seriously, you need to watch this show for yourself), part of what makes Angel unique in television history is its constant reinvention. There are multiple cast shake-ups, and the show goes from being a small-time detective procedural to morality play to family reunion to bonkers legal drama. This can admittedly be off-putting if you prefer static TV shows. Personally, I really enjoyed the fact that, quite literally, I had no idea where this show was going to go from its humble beginnings to its unhinged finale.

While the rest of the cast is great (I particularly enjoyed Alexis Denisof and the late, great Andy Hallett), Angel only works because of David Boreanaz. He has gone on to headline multiple successful shows, but Angel remains his best work. Boreanaz doesn’t have the most range as an actor, but he is pitch-perfect as a vampire with a soul: he broods with the best of them, he’s a convincing action star, and he has charisma to spare. He’s absolutely compelling in this role, and Angel remains proof that Boreanaz can be (with the right material) one of the most captivating leading actors in television.

Obviously, Angel isn’t for everyone, especially if you want something more in the vein of Buffy’s earlier seasons. But it remains the most ambitious spinoff in TV history, fleshing out the borders of this universe while stretching the boundaries of genre storytelling.

Fortunately, you don’t have to give up your soul to experience this show for yourself.  Angel is currently streaming for free on Tubi, meaning you’re just one click away from watching the coolest, creepiest, and absolute craziest show on television. With this vampiric masterpiece, the storytelling stakes (pun full and bloody well intended) have never been higher!

What was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime cruise quickly turned into an international health scare after concerns surrounding the Hantavirus. All we know is that it left passengers stranded at sea and sparked a massive multi-country emergency response. Now, after days of uncertainty and growing fear onboard, travelers are finally beginning to leave the ship.

Deadly Hantavirus Outbreak Linked To Cruise Ship Arrives In Spain

The Dutch-flagged cruise ship MV Hondius reportedly arrived in Spain’s Canary Islands early Sunday morning following a deadly hantavirus outbreak linked to the vessel. Health officials confirmed at least nine suspected or confirmed cases connected to the spread, including three deaths involving a Dutch couple and a German woman. Despite the alarming situation, authorities said no additional passengers currently onboard were showing symptoms as evacuation efforts officially began.

Passengers Evacuate As Officials Urge Public Not To Panic

According to Oceanwide Expeditions, the ship is carrying nearly 150 passengers from more than 15 countries, including 17 Americans. Officials launched a carefully coordinated evacuation plan using small launch boats before transporting passengers directly from buses to flights out of Tenerife. American passengers are expected to return to the U.S. aboard a specialized medical repatriation flight coordinated by the CDC and Department of Health and Human Services before entering quarantine in Nebraska for monitoring.

Health experts have stressed that the public should not panic, with both the World Health Organization and CDC emphasizing that the risk of widespread transmission remains low. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesusstated that this outbreak is “not another COVID.” He further explained that hantavirus typically spreads through contact with infected rodents and that human-to-human transmission is considered extremely rare. Officials believe the outbreak may trace back to a Dutch couple. They reportedly traveled through parts of South America on a bird-watching trip before boarding the cruise in Argentina.

Health Agencies Investigate Cruise Ship Virus Outbreak

As investigations continue, more details have emerged about the terrifying timeline onboard the ship. Several passengers reportedly became seriously ill during the voyage. Furthermore, multiple emergency medical evacuations took place across different countries as the cruise continued its route through remote South Atlantic islands. The outbreak has now triggered international coordination involving the WHO, CDC, and several health agencies. Ultimately, authorities are working to determine exactly how the virus spread aboard the vessel.

After Marshals revealed that Monica died off screen, another Yellowstone OG addressed if they are worried about their own character getting killed off.

Gil Birmingham weighed in on Yellowstone fans being worried about his character’s injury in the Marshals premiere, exclusively joking to Us Weekly, “I’m going to make sure they put that in my contract [that Thomas Rainwater can’t get hurt].”

Birmingham recalled how “dramatic” the reveal about Rainwater was.

“It still makes me laugh when people think I got shot,” he noted. “I took on shrapnel from the explosion.”

Yellowstone‘s spinoff Marshals killed off Kelsey Asbille‘s character Monica, but what was the reason for her onscreen death? The Sunday, March 1, episode of Luke Grimes‘ new CBS show revealed that Kayce Dutton’s wife previously died after she got cancer as a result of toxins dumped onto the Broken Rock reservation. Amid a strong reaction […]

Despite Rainwater surviving the accident, the moment was meant to set the scene for something bigger, with Birmingham explaining, “What we’re letting the audience know is that the responsibility of Rainwater now has increased to the point where he’s now a target exactly where John Dutton was.”

He continued: “So anybody that’s going to be a hindrance in terms of these outside forces that want to come in and utilize extract resources — be they people or minerals. That’s the politics and that’s the violence of the West. I’m glad I survived but it’s a new story line for Rainwater.”

The actor was interested in seeing how showrunner Spencer Hudnut evolved the stories introduced in Yellowstone.

“Spencer is entering — in terms of the Native communities — as not quite as familiar with it as Taylor [Sheridan] was. He didn’t live on the reservation with the Native community when he was younger like Taylor did. So kudos to him,” Birmingham said. “It’s a realistic portrayal too. There is a lost and there’s a lot of grief on our reservation and some of these things are very much tied into toxins that are being allowed to be dumped on to the reservation.”

Birmingham recalled being “crushed” when he found out that Monica was dead in the spinoff, adding, “At the same time, these things really hit you in the heart and they’re real things in real life.”

Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, which aired from 2018 to 2024, introduced Us to Kayce (Luke Grimes) and Monica (Kelsey Asbille), who remained at the center of the show until the finale. After teaching at a local school on the Broken Rock Indian Reservation, Monica went on to become a professor at Montana State University while navigating life with Kayce, who moved them back to the Yellowstone Ranch following his past tension with dad John (Kevin Costner).

Following John’s death, Kayce, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, became the new owner and operator of the Yellowstone Ranch. Kayce and Monica ended the show alive — and were still together — before Marshals began.

When the series premiered in March, fans were shocked to learn that Monica died after battling cancer.

“Kayce really needed — not that it wouldn’t have been great to have Monica back — but it kind of isolated him more akin to what his father was. He’s a single father trying to raise his family,” Birmingham said. “The kind of emotional trauma that must have been there for Kayce sets up not knowing what his purpose in life is. It was a great setup for going down that trail of how Kayce is going to redeem himself or find purpose in his life, which very much allows the integration of Rainwater and Mo.”

Birmingham also told Us about how Marshals has attempted to platform the Native community, saying, “It’s a delicate balance to run because we don’t want to be a show of messages. We really want to engage an audience and we want to entertain.”

He concluded: “But let’s use the opportunity to educate so it’s being handled so respectfully and honorably. Mo [Brings Plenty] is the Native consultant and he really has a hand in guiding it that way. He brings in his brother Joe as well. It’s important that we portray the importance of what traditional grievance is for us and how we honor those that have passed on.”

Marshals airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.

Hulu has numerous hit comedy shows, whether they’re originals like Only Murders in the Building or co-productions with FX like The Bear. A successful Hulu show is usually part of the awards conversations, and as the streamer anticipates the next major hit in Mindy Kaling‘s Not Suitable for Work, a different sleeper hit with a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score is set to return in less than three weeks. The dramedy premiered in 2025, and while it did not reach the heights of shows like The Bear, it still drew enough viewership to warrant a second season, which premieres on May 28.

The series is a workplace comedy like The Office, but no one is pushing paper here; they’re pushing hard drugs. It centers on an Indian family, the Dars, whose sons, Mir (Asif Ali) and Raj (Sagar Shaikh), inherit the business after the patriarch dies. However, they never knew what their father did, thinking he was another American success story with his deli chain. It turns out it was more of a Sopranos situation, as the delis were a front for a major drug organization. Two polar opposites, Mir and Raj find themselves entangled in the business under the guidance of their father’s sister, Lucky Auntie (Poorna Jagannathan).

In Deli Boys Season 2, Mir and Raj are facing a different kind of problem. They have the criminal lifestyle nailed, but like many drug dealers, they find themselves with a money problem — too much of it. This makes them targets of other criminals and the U.S. law enforcement apparatus. However, they might have a solution in Max Sugar (Fred Amisen), a seasoned casino owner who also launders money. Oh, and Lucky Auntie has a crush on him, which makes their situationship incredibly complicated. Meanwhile, Raj and Mir have different aspirations in the business, but they are not the only ones. Andrew Rannells appears this season as DA Andrew Chadwater, who hopes to build his mayoral career on a major drug bust. Bringing down the Dars would grant him a landslide victory.

Who Is Behind ‘Deli Boys?’

The series was created by Abdullah Saeed, with Michelle Nader serving as showrunner. Deli Boys was developed by Jenni Konner and Nora Silver. Ali, Shaikh, and Jagannathan lead a cast that also includes Alfie Fuller, Amit Rao, Brian George, and more. This season features new faces, including guest-star appearances by Kumail Nanjiani (Danyal), Lily Singh (Aisha), and Robin Thede (Dr. Iverson). Season 1 guest star and Queer Eye icon Tan France will also return as Zubair.

Watch the first season of Deli Boys on Hulu in the U.S. before the new season on May 28. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Euphoria‘s long-awaited return has been met with major backlash due to numerous explicit — and controversial — scenes.

The HBO series, which premiered in 2019, has always been known to push boundaries while following teenager Rue’s (Zendaya) attempt to remain sober after struggling with addiction.

While the first two seasons were set in high school, Euphoria ultimately introduced a time jump, allowing season 3 to check in on the main characters as adults. But just because everyone got older didn’t mean they were making better decisions — with season 3 introducing topics such as drug smuggling, sexual assault and more dangerous situations.

Viewers, meanwhile, have blasted the show for pushing boundaries episode to episode with racy — and sometimes triggering — moments. Creator Sam Levinson has stood by his vision for the show despite possible offscreen criticism.

Euphoria fans have watched the cast change on and off screen since the series first debuted. Based on the Israeli series of the same name, Euphoria follows troubled high school student Rue (Zendaya) as she struggled to remain sober after rehab. The series also explores topics including mental illness, toxic relationships, sexuality and more. After […]

“We have a motto of: Evolve or die,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in April. “We wanted to make sure we were changing things up.”

He continued: “We’re seeing them out in the world, in the wider world, and allowing the actors to communicate emotionally through the performance as opposed to in the past, when we did it moreso through camera. We wanted to see them fending for themselves.”

Keep scrolling for a guide to every controversial season 3 scene that wasn’t received well:

The Drug Smuggling Scenes

In the season 3 premiere, Rue was reintroduced after a five-year time jump, which showed her new life as a drug mule. A scene minutes into the premiere depicted Rue and Faye (Chloe Cherry) using lube to swallow large quantities of balloons filled with drugs.

They then had to smuggle the balloons from Mexico to the United States without getting caught. Rue made it home just in time to poop out the balloons, but Faye had “an accident” and feces were seen running down her leg before a dog tried to lick some of it off.

Cassie’s OnlyFans Arc

Many viewers weren’t thrilled by Cassie’s entire arc being an attempt to find success on OnlyFans with sexual photoshoots. From topless photos to pretending to be a baby or a dog, Sydney Sweeney’s scenes verged too close to cringe for some. OnlyFans creators, meanwhile, weren’t thrilled with how their line of work was portrayed on screen.

The Nazi Memorabilia

While Faye’s love interest Wayne (Toby Wallace) wasn’t meant to be a good guy, the numerous Nazi flags and memorabilia featured in his scenes threw viewers off.

Anna Van Patten’s Introduction as Kitty

After joining the strip club as a new dancer, Euphoria pushed Kitty’s story line along by having Rue watch her have sex with multiple men in a graphic group sex scene. While Kitty agreed to the arrangement, she had to take ketamine beforehand and was visibly shaken up after the sexual encounter, which hinted at her being painfully penetrated with a champagne bottle as well.

Whew, Roomies! Bhad Bhabie wasted no time clapping back after trolls accused her of changing her appearance over the years to look Black. She dropped a series of messages on social media after resurfaced photos compared her teenage looks to her current appearance.

Bhad Bhabie Addresses Criticism About Changing Her Appearance

In a series of now-deleted posts, Bhad Bhabie addressed criticism about her looks after photos started circulating comparing her teenage appearance to how she looks now in her 20s. The rapper said she was tired of people expecting her to still look the same as she did back then, now that she’s grown. She said she matured and explained that her red ponytail era came from her management at the time. Still, she kept it real and said she only got a little lip filler over the years and went outside to get some vitamin D.

“Y’all weird. All I did was grow up, change my hair color, sit in the sun instead of spending all day inside and get a syringe of lip filler like who the f**k else didn’t???” Bhabie wrote.

Bhad Bhabie Shuts Down Claims About Wanting To Look Different

Bhabie’s clap back didn’t stop there. She made it clear that she never altered her appearance to try to look like another race.  She admitted that she’s tired of folks accusing her of trying to look Black when that was never the case. Bhabie said she thinks people constantly categorize things by race and assume certain looks or styles belong to one culture.

“I never a day in my life said I wanted to be any other race but the race that I am. She continued, “It is a mental illness to think you can magically know what someone else wants for themselves especially when they’ve never said that and they have denied it but you keep forcing it on them and that is sick.”

Here’s What Bhad Bhabie Previously Said About Her Surgeries & New Look

As TSR previously reported, Bhabie addressed changes in her appearance after an Instagram user said they were confused about why folks think she got a BBL. Bhabie peeped the comment and set the record straight about her recent procedures. She told the IG user she actually gained weight and had doctors fill her hips dips. She also made it clear she didn’t go into surgery without a derriere, she already had the same body type she has now, she just made a few adjustments.

“@sgt1stclassgrover this is false. I’ve been rich since 13. I had to get a** shots bc I didn’t have enough weight for a bbl. I got my a** shots removed then I had medication to gain weight and got lipo and fat transfer . I grew my a** myself I only had my hip dips filled and some added to the side profile area for side projection. I already posted the pictures of me before surgery. I didn’t go into surgery with a flat a**. My abdominal muscle detached from the rapid weight gain and since I had a baby I gained more around my midsection then i usually do when I gain weight naturally. The muscle issue was causing me to look pregnant so I had to get that fixed as well as the hernia on my belly button that had been there since I had Kali. I didn’t go into surgery with a muffin top and a flat a**. I already had the same body type that I do now that explains why my legs match my a**. I just made a few adjustments to please myself. That’s all,” she wrote.

John Hughes redefined the teen comedy from the sex romps of Porky’s to the more grounded and realistic Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and The Breakfast Club. In 1985, during the middle of this run, he also wrote and directed Weird Science, a film that was pure wish fulfillment.

There’s still a high school, and a pair of social outcasts, but there’s also an absolute smokeshow of a computer program with the ability to alter reality, designed from the smallest piece of code to be the perfect woman. Not only was it a hit, but a decade later, the USA Network took the premise and ran with it to make Weird Science, the series, which ran for a mind-boggling 5 seasons and 88 episodes. 

She Blinded Me With Science

Both the film and the series center on high school slackers Gary (Brat Packer Anthony Michael Hall in the original and John Mallory Asher in the series) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith in the film, Michael Manasseri in the series), trying to cut every corner possible thanks to Lisa, the artificial woman who, for all intents and purposes, operates like a Genie. The basic episode has one of the two making a wish, turning the school into a party school complete with pizza in class, becoming rock stars, time-traveling to deal with a bully, or turning Wyatt’s brother into an infant. 

There’s nothing deep about Weird Science. It’s lighthearted, campy fun, and if you’re wondering why this managed to stay on the air for five seasons, it’s because they somehow found the perfect replacement for the movie’s Kelly LeBrock: Vanessa Angel. No one cares about Wyatt and Gary. Weird Science is all about the stacked brunette front and center in every piece of promotional material, every commercial, and every episode. Angel’s take on Lisa was a little goofier than LeBrock’s, but at the end of the day, she was usually the one who ended up solving the problem. 

From Runner-Up To The Reason Everyone Watched

Vanessa Angel found the most success in her career on Weird Science bringing Lisa to life. Taking over for Kelly LeBrock’s iconic portrayal should have been a recipe for disaster, but it worked. Angel’s career in Hollywood was filled with missed opportunities for major roles, first as the original Xena to Lucy Lawless, losing out due to a horribly timed illness, then as the second choice for Seven of Nine behind Jeri Ryan, and finally, as Anise/Freya on Stargate SG-1 when the producers wanted a sexy new female cast member to catch the Seven of Nine wave. Turns out, they already had Amanda Tapping, and her role was cut after only three appearances. 

Weird Science was obviously aimed at a young audience with plotlines that would feel at home a decade later on a Disney Channel original. You can only imagine the fun that the writer’s room had trying to come up with the most insane plotlines possible. The combination of a hot woman and two (or more) inept guys has been the foundation for countless comedies over the decades. Turning the woman into a wish-granting computer program didn’t alter the formula in the slightest. It worked for I Dream Of Jeannie in the 60s, it worked for Weird Science in the 90s, and if Hollywood ever makes another sitcom, it’ll work again. 

Weird Science is streaming for free on The Roku Channel.
