There are reasons why the most popular television program in any given country is a local production set in that country.

The FBI and NCIS franchises are two of the most popular American TV shows with millions of viewers.

Another similarity between the two is that they’ve had numerous spinoffs. NCIS has had more spinoffs than FBI, but they both have a spinoff set outside the country.

FBI: International follows the Fly Team, which operates in Budapest, Hungary. It’s basically an FBI task force transplanted to a new country.

NCIS: Sydney’s name outs the show. Set in Sydney, it follows an overseas branch of NCIS that operates in Australia.

Water from Your Eyes have shared a cover of Ween’s “If You Could Save Yourself (You’d Save Us All),” as part of Sounds of Saving’s “Songs That Found Me at The Right Time” series.

The CoSign alums picked the 2003 track to cover in part because of how relatable it was to vocalist Rachel Brown. “The reason that I even started making music by myself was ’cause I was really mentally unwell, but I didn’t really know how to communicate,” they explained in a Q&a accompanying the release. “I was like really depressed and suicidal for most of high school. I spent a lot of time thinking that there was no other option besides to have terrible thoughts that ruined my day…I just started writing songs ’cause it was like the only place that felt appropriate to be expressing the things that I was thinking about.

It’s been a few years since the mental health organization Sounds of Saving launched their “Songs That Found Me at The Right Time” series, in which artists cover a song that “saved” them during a difficult moment. Now, the latest installment in the series has arrived, and it’s an up-beat, hard-hitting romp: Soul Glo has covered System of a Down’s 1998 track, “Soil.” Watch the performance below.

“We chose this song, chiefly, because it slaps,” the band’s Pierce Jordan explained in the video. “Soil” was originally included on Soad’s self-titled debut album, and has been celebrated by many fans, including Jordan, for its ability to speak to the experience of depression and its depths.

“It’s always been one of my favorites, for a long time [it’s been in my] top 10, easy,” Jordan said. “ There’s a lot of crossover, just in what the song is about. It’s addressing...

System of a Down hosted their only scheduled performance of 2023 at Las Vegas’ inaugural Sick New World festival on Saturday, and the top-billed heavy metal outfit did not hold back for their first live set in over a year.

The Grammy-winning rock quartet, who have only made sporadic on-stage appearances since their contentious hiatus in 2006, closed the main stage for the single-day event and unleashed one blistering hit after another, including the trio of breakout singles, “Chop Suey!” (which still scares singer Serj Tankian to this day), “Toxicity,” and “Aerials,” from 2001’s Toxicity.

The band also revived several rarities from their 1998 self-titled debut like “Soil,” “Darts,” “Suite-Pee,” and “Peephole,” the last receiving its first live rendition in 10 years. The stacked setlist truly spanned the group’s whole career as they played the early era demo track “Dam” along with their two 2020 comeback tracks, “Genocidal Humanoidz” and “Protect the Land.” Watch...

Four African episodic screenwriters will take the stage Tuesday at Series Mania to pitch the genre-flavored series they currently have in development, a crop of shows that reflect the rich and fertile landscape for African series creators looking to tap into the global TV market.

The shows are created by the first graduating class of the AuthenticA Series Lab, a training program for African episodic screenwriters launched last year by Realness Institute in partnership with Geneva-based philanthropic organization The StoryBoard Collective and Series Mania.

The four participants have spent the past six months in a collaborative environment that included both online workshops and residencies in South Africa and Switzerland, while attending masterclasses with leading industry professionals and working with a mentoring team comprised of creative producer Mehret Mandefro and story expert Selina Ukwuoma.

The four creators have each developed a bible and a pilot episode that they’ll be presenting...

Valentine’s Day is a day away, and Serpentwithfeet is choosing to “go where the love is.” On Monday, the musician released his reflective, soft R&b single “Gonna Go,” which follows the singer telling the story of a no-labels, queer love as he decides whether to stay in a relationship with no title.

“I got slippers at his house/But we ain’t got no label,” he sings to open the song. “We make good love on his couch/But he’s still not able/To say what he wants from me.
