The Greatest Supernatural Spin-Off of All Time Is Officially Streaming for Free




It is rare that a spin-off can outdo the legacy of what it was derived from, as generally these projects have a finite ability to innovate. Since spinoffs are based on only a specific portion of what made an original property successful, they tend to have less lasting power, and thus only appeal to a fraction of the audience. The expectations of following Buffy the Vampire Slayer were tremendous, as the Joss Whedoncoming-of-age fantasy series became a cultural phenomenon with a complex mythology, memorable characters, and a very specific tone. The spinoff Angellearned the best lessons from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but transformed into a unique series of its own by taking a completely different narrative approach. If Buffy the Vampire Slayer was the ultimate example of a "hero's journey" told over the course of a protagonist's adolescence, then Angel was a dark, conflicted character drama about the fungible line between good and evil.
