Buffy the Vampire Slayer was so successful that Joss Whedon was able to expand the universe with a spin-off show. That show,
Angel, replaced much of the campy teenage vibe with dark fantasy. He killed off main characters, added moral ambiguity, and in the process created a show which added to the so-called "Buffyverse," yet is also capable of standing on it's own merits. I would actually argue that season 5 of
Angel is as good as any single season of Buffy.
