    Vampire Diaries had multiple spinoffs and out of those The Originals were quite successful, Legacies less so. Legacies was most procedural so there’s that.

      Yeah I realize what I am considering a “show” is a much more narrow definition that really only exists in my own head lol. YA shows are another genre that lend themselves to spinoffs that forgot about.

      I guess what I’m thinking of is critically acclaimed shows that are considered to be good by the majority of the public at the time. But that’s a narrow enough definition that it’s essentially meaningless so I concede the point.

        You don’t consider it a show because you think it’s aimed at teens but it’s actually aimed at grown up women. Give it a shot, plot is tastefully over the top and production values are pretty good. I cried at the end of The Originals and I’m not ashamed of it!

          I’ve watched the entire Jenny Nicholson video on The Vampire Diaries like 3 times so I’m definitely familiar. Not for me personally, but I can appreciate the appeal.

          Didn’t mean to denigrate it or anything.
