  • Details
Suburban teen Angela Chase (Claire Danes) is changing, but her hair color isn't the only thing that's different. She's also pulling away from her parents to spend more time with a new crop of friends -- and a major crush (Jared Leto) with amazing eyes. Along with launching the careers of Leto and Danes (who won a Golden Globe in the series' first and only season), this teen drama garnered a loyal cult following before its cancellation.
