13 Greatest TV "Big Bads" Since 'Buffy' Coined the Term

There are villains, and then there are “Big Bads.” The kind of antagonists who seem hell-bent on derailing the protagonist’s best-laid plans, thwarting their every move, and reshaping an entire season’s worth of narrative. The term “Big Bad” was first popularized by Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The show turned the concept of serialized storytelling around by introducing season-long villains who would not only create problems for the heroes, but also serve as a catalyst for them to evolve, adapt, and sometimes, completely break down before clawing their way back in.
