Unfortunately, with an (undeserved) bad outcome. Unfortunately, fantasy lovers, ever since the world was introduced to Peter Jackson’s film trilogy and then Benioff’s huge work on Martin’s classic, have become very demanding and disappointed in an instant. For us, it deserves at least one marathon attempt. Many did not look at him after reading the reviews of friends.

DAMN

Arthurian Lady of the Lake series starring Katherine Langford (formerly Hannah Baker of Thirteen) as the protagonist, she defied tradition by creating an unedited version of a story known to us for centuries, adding various characters such as the villain of the moment and the protagonist’s friend, Pym, to whom we immediately became attached.

GAME OF THRONES

A must-have, given that we tend to measure enthusiasm and disappointment for each new installment by those given us by a series that first transposed and then surpassed George R. R. Martin’s novels. Let’s get hurt (or get better): just like we cycled through sitcoms like Friendswe’re rekindling our love for the fantasy series that made every micro- or macro-foray game our favorite episodes.

DRAGON HOUSE

Let’s face it, just a prequel to Game of Thrones was really able to fill the void and despondency created by the end Game of Thrones. And we would like to see more soon. By now, falling in love is the complete package (original and spin-off to the past).

DARKNESS AND BONES

WARRIOR MONYASHNYA

Born from a comic book series, it brings angels and demons into contact, setting up their fight between monasteries and monasteries, with a girl who is very far from visiting them, who suddenly finds herself “entrusted” with the honor of embodying (yes, embodying and no just wearing) holy halo.

RINGS OF POWER

Prequel series Lord of the Rings it caused a stir, but not in the desired way. This was somewhat predictable, given the need to work on hybrid material, partly adapted from appendices to Tolkien’s novels, and partly pure fiction, at the risk of warming up the mood. Too bad, because Morfydd Clark as Galadriel is in the spotlight, and all the mysteries that bind hairy legs, a giant who comes from the stars and humans (who hate elves) opens up a quest that is still irresistible in its own way.

AMERICAN GODS

VERBA

The series, which brought back to the screen, this time not cinematic, the protagonist and the world of one of the most beloved fantasy films of the eighties, suffered the same fate as The Damned, which was immediately canceled after only one season. And even in these cases, the question arises, why invest talent and money in ambitious projects, and then give up at the first difficulty? Has Willow really aged that much? The only way to tell for sure is to evaluate with your own eyes first.

HIS DARK MATERIALS

The television adaptation of Philip Pullman’s trilogy of the same name is projected into a universe where the soul manifests itself by controlling animals that watch over humans like guardian angels.
