Dead Boy Detectives wasn’t meant to be a spinoff. The Netflix series, based on Neil Gaiman’s comics of the same name, began as a series ordered by Max. It contained all the hallmarks of a classic CW show — a strong episodic structure, DC Comics source material, and Arrowverse architect Greg Berlanti as an executive producer. But in early 2023, the series found a brand-new home at Netflix.

Even though Dead Boy Detectives was a spinoff comic from the Sandman series, showrunner Steve Yockey made sure that the series didn’t tread on Netflix’s toes at first. “We wanted to make sure that we kind of worked around the Sandman Universe so that the shows could exist side by side,” he tells Inverse. “When we moved to Netflix, they were like, ‘Hey, have you ever thought about doing some Sandman Easter eggs and cameos?’ We were like, what a great idea!”

Just like that, Dead Boy Detectives was born — a young-adult-skewing supernatural mystery series that combines the best of CW-style teen adventure with Gaiman’s patented eerie tone and macabre personifications. “Sandman is Drama, with a capital D,” Yockey explains. “Our show is the Hardy Boys on acid.”

The Apple Watch had a lot of hopes pinned on it when it launched in 2015. Not only was the smartwatch the first proper device of the Tim Cook era at Apple, but as a new product category, the Apple Watch suggested the possibility of a post-iPhone future for a company that had come to be defined by its touchscreen phone.

Based on initial analyst predictions, Apple was expected to sell as many as 36 million units in the first year the Apple Watch was available. In the end, Apple reportedly shipped less than half of that — only 11.6 million smartwatches. But even if the Apple Watch wasn’t a smashing success out of the gate, as Apple shifted its approach to wearables (like adding in AirPods), the smartwatch did grow in popularity. The wrist-worn computer also revealed itself to be a key component of a new area of intense interest for Apple: the future of health.

Whether as the all-in-one iPhone replacement it launched as, or the streamlined notification-and-fitness wearable it has become, one thing that’s remained consistent about the Apple Watch is its ability to offer insights about your physical activity and health. Apple once likened these features to being a “guardian” on your wrist, and as the Apple Watch turns 10 next year, they’re only going to become more important over the next decade.
