“Torchwood” (“Dr. Who”)
Okay, so if you’re an actual “Dr. Who” fan, “Torchwood” is a pretty obvious spinoff series. But for those of us who don’t actually self-identify as Whovians, the news that “Dr. Who” generated an entirely separate series (and not just an entirely new Doctor) might come as something of a surprise. Especially considering the lack of evil angel statues here.
