I am a big fan of the How To Train Your Dragon movie franchise and was rather excited to delve into this series.

Many have complained that there are errors and elements that are left out of the series and contradictions to the second film. I can see why they aren't completely satisfied with some character developments and focus. However after completing the series and waiting until the 2018 final series to come out, I can honestly say it was a wonderful experience with alot of adventures, interesting new dragons and characters and concludes nicely to lead onto the second film.

The characters have lots of development, with the introduction of new unique characters with interesting back stories. The series is PG and connects with young kids and the older generation. The kids loved the action and all the dragons and jokes, whilst the adults also enjoyed. A great family series.

I won't go into too much detail as do not want to spoil the series, but if you like the franchise and want to experience new adventures of hiccup and toothless, along with an array of colourful new dragons. This is the series for you.

Dragons: race to the edge is quite possibly the best dragons title so far. the characters are interesting, the plots diverse. this explains what happens to the gang after the 2 movies and, although I've only watched 3 seasons so far as cbbc is behind, it is already a favourite of mine. the dragon hunters story arc is interesting while still being funny at the same time. overall I would recommend this series to anyone who likes drama with comedy thrown in as well

For someone who loves the How to Train Your Dragon Francaise like me they will enjoy this series very much. The first 2 seasons were a bit boring and there wasn't a very good plot and there wasn't much character development. But from season 3-6 it was a very impressive series. The characters themselves were put into a lot more detail and there were twists and turns you could never see coming. Some of the more recent characters like Viggo Grimborn and Mala were very engaging. Viggo is a very lovable villian throughout the series mainly because he is very intelligent and makes an impact to the other characters especially Hiccup. Mala is a very strong female character that was very well spoken and very well done. The relationship between characters such as the relationship between Astrid and Hiccup was also well done, and added a lot of depth especially in the last season. Fans like me loved all the Hiccstrid moments throughout the series. I also love how we pay more attention to more miner characters such as Tuffnut and Ruffnut because they are given very little detail in the movies. Another thing i love is the soundtrack. The HTTYD francaise has always had amazing music and they nailed it throughout the series. The character development was very well done in preperation to HTTYD as we get to see different perspectives to all the characters. The revealations were built up through a period of time and kept fans on the edges of their seats to see what would happen, and to develop many theories. This series was very thought out, fans realised this in the final season when they explained some very important details and facts about one particular thing that I will not say so that you can discover it yourself.

Overall, this series is a very enjoyable series and was a great bridge between HTTYD 1 & 2. I recommend this series for 11- bascially any age, because adults I know enjoy this series very much.

Please don't listen to the naysayers, I doubt they have even bothered to watch the show. I can agree that Heather is poorly written and intrusive, she clearly shouldn't have existed, there is no doubt there, but the rest of the show is pretty darn good! This show is not only great but it gets better and better for each season! The last season blew me away, it was so much more than I could've imagined.

Usually a show lessens in quality and becomes more stale over time. With Race to the Edge it is the exact opposite! It started out exceptional enough but then it got even better! Midway through the action, romance, storytelling and stakes leveled up and it just became insanely good!

As a big Hiccstrid shipper, I must say the writers did a tremendous job with Hiccup and Astrid's relationship. They started out as friends and then halfway into the show we started to see their bond grow stronger and watch them fall in love. I honestly feared they wouldn't do their relationship justice but they did not only meet my expectations, they blew me away! After watching each season back to back, I can say with confidence that's most well written romantic relationship I have seen in an animated series.

Another big surprise for me was how they handled Hiccup's relationship with his father. The last season focused heavily on that and the writers did a superb job! It hits you right in the heart.

They really managed to tie the series in with the second movie, which was always going to be difficult but they made it seem effortless. It was all done very tastefully! Well, all except for the unwanted Heather story, which the show probably would've been better off without.

Aside from that, I would like to say thank you to Douglas Sloan, Art Edler Brown, John Tellegen, Jack C. Thomas, FM DeMarco, Will Morey, TJ. Sullivan and everyone else. Especially thank you to Douglas Sloan and Art Brown for running the show and putting so much time and effort into it. Thank you for all the wonderful 4 years of amazing content that made everyone cry in joy, frustration, anger, happiness, sadness and shock. You evoked so many emotions in us fans and made the experience very memorable! We will always cherish this. Thank you and good luck with your other projects!

Having finally finished watching the entire Dragons: Race to the Edge to its full fruition, I'm going to retract my previous review.

Race to the Edge is not as formulaic and repetitive as I had initially assumed. The first season might have been a little dull but by the second- and third season, the show is a full- on action packed adventure with the right amount of romance, comedy and drama. Viggo Grimborn is one of the most cunning and vicious villains to grace animated television. It's just an added bonus that he is voiced by the great Alfred Molina.

Adults will enjoy this alongside with their children. It builds up to the second How to Train Your Dragon, showing us how the youths grew up. The animation as well is remarkable, pretty impressive for a mini television show.

I was slightly skeptical whenever I decided to watch the show, I love the franchise with my whole heart so I just had to see what they have done, most of the tv shows of famous franchises always feel very different from the movies. But it's definitely not the case here.

First of all, the writing in the show is absolutely top notch(arguably even better than the movies), every single character of the show has so much depth to him and it really helps showcase more the supporting characters of the movies and fill them with personality. In addition, it's hilarious and the humor is outstanding to pretty much most of the tv shows I have ever seen.

One thing I really love about it is that every episode feels like an entire adventure of the characters and every two parter is just almost a movie on it's own, truly fleshing out the franchise in it's full glory.

The second point is the animation, even though you can somewhat feel the lower budget, it takes absolutely nothing from the glorious battles scenes and the good parts of the animation are really not forgotten.

To conclude, this is now my new comfort show for probably forever and I just can't get enough of it, in my opinion every single person who remotely likes the franchise can have an absolute blast watching this show.

So go watch it now, you won't regret it.

I write this mostly because i finished it now and i want more,i liked all the aspects about it:the story,characters,sound of all the episodes etc.OMG!You need to watch it!It is interesting for all the ages!

I am a big fan of the movie franchise, so when I found out this was a thing I had to watch it. This series has hilarious joke with action packed scenes. Though I love the newest addition, Chicken. He just add another sense of humor to the series. Just Spectacular series!

Back at 2010, DreamWorks Animation released How To Train Your Dragon, a story about a young viking who befriends a deadly dragon by showing compassion. After learning the tactics of training a dragon, he changes his entire town of Berk and thus the battle between vikings and dragons ended. It became a critically acclaimed hit and started a trilogy with the second film in 2014. A year later, after the end of the Cartoon Network series Dragons: Riders and Defenders of Berk, Netflix, after making a deal with DreamWorks Animation in 2013, decided to make another TV series that takes place before the second film.

Race to the Edge continues the story line as Hiccup and his band of dragon riders find a Dragon Eye that unlocks many secrets. But little do they know that many dangers lie ahead as new villains want it for other purposes, so it's up to them to work together, make allies along the way, and save Berk.

Now that it's been five years since it came out, I'll review this show. So I won't do any spoilers to those who haven't seen this yet.

This show is perfect and one of the best DreamWorks/Netflix shows next to Trollhunters and Voltron: Legendary Defender. Not only is it well-written and provides character development for not only Hiccup, but everyone else including his friends Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut along with the return of Dagur the Deranged. And the new villain Viggo, voiced perfectly by Alfred Molina, is great. Calculating, manipulative, and smart is what he succeeds at.

The music score from John Paesano (who scored the Maze Runner movies) continues to do a solid job in retaining the motifs of John Powell's score from the movies while giving it's own identity, the pacing is very good to the point where it can have quiet moments for the characters, and the voice acting from everyone involved apart from Alfred Molina is also great. Jay Baruchel continues to impress as Hiccup by giving the character pathos, authority, and a sense of humor when needed, America Ferrera also shines as Astrid who continues to give support for him and her team while Ruffnut and Tuffnut still bring some comedic levity that isn't overdone. There were some instances where Snotlout can get somewhat annoying, but not too much while Fishlegs is still the expert on reading the tactics of any kind of dragon.

And last but not least the animation and it's very impressive. The visuals are very good and the character animation lifelike and expressive. Even the action sequences shine brilliantly.

Overall, Dragons: Race to the Edge is a great continuation of the Cartoon Network series and one of the best Netflix shows of the past decade. Go check it out! :)

The TV show could be said to be a let down compared to the movies, and that is true, but it is still mostly a good show with several decent episodes. The animation is dated, and the script occationally lazy, and the villains lackluster, but it is all to be expected in an average animated TV show like this.

Just avoid season 5 or stop watching somewhere in season 4. They have run out of material and try to keep going and it gets very painful to watch in the end.

I hope u guys make another season of this masterpiece. I enjoyed watching every second of this show, for me how to train your dragon is amazing show thank for anyone help to made this show.

I don't know what I expected but it certainly wasn't this chaotic bundle of mess. I think that is an accurate way of summing up the entirety of the show.

One of my biggest pet-peeves is the excessive and heavy focus on Heather, (she is in over 30 episodes!) This character is so redundant yet she takes over the entire plot and sidelines and upstages all the other preexisting characters. She is easily one of the lowest and weakest parts of the show. The story would have stood stronger on the shoulders of the dragon riders - the actual heroes. It's the dragon riders we, the audience, have an emotional attachment to - not Heather. I really couldn't care any less about her and her family drama. It's all so very annoying and rather boring to endure.

The second issues is the plot in itself. It makes absolutely no sense when you take the movies into account and consideration. There are so many contradictions and continuity problems I have lost count of them. The writing is mediocre at best, only saved by Tuff and Ruff but even they can't save this mess. The writers wasted so much time on the unnecessary Heather-Dagur arc that the Viggo- Ryker ending, the Hiccup-Astrid relationship and the wrapping up of everything - it all just feels tacked on in the last minute.

I am simply amazed that so much was accomplished with such a small budget and cartoon. The animation is very impressive for just a netflix only series compared with the earlier cartoon that ran until 2014. My only flaw with the show would be the lack of character development throughout the show, but its not quite a big enough flaw to constitute anything less than 10 stars. The creators of this show have perhaps started a new era of TV show movie spinoffs,but we will just have to wait and see. Again, I am very impressed by everything that this wonderful kids show has to offer to the netflix community, and I certainly wish that it would still come on regular TV so others that don't have netflix could enjoy this show. But otherwise, great job, DreamWorks!

If you're a Dragon Riders fan, then this show will satisfy your Dragon needs. The characters are the same except for a few little tweaks but that's bound to change. (*wink* *wink*) Stories about more dragons, discovering and building and fighting. All your favorite How To Train Your Dragon jazz. With new characters to go. This series follows, Dragons Riders of Berk and other Dragons shows. This is the third installment, and is in between HTTYD and HTTYD2. But this looks like HTTYD2 character styles. The excellent Animation and story is sure to impress and i hope they continue to make many more episodes. Releasing a season about every 6 months on Netflix, i'm always counting down the days until they drop a new one. And i wish it was more and sooner. But this is a great bonus while you're waiting for the next HTTYD3 Movie. Which is taking forever. But all in all, the Dreamwork animators have out done themselves, yet again. And hopefully continue to do so.

This franchise is quickly becoming my new favorite animated franchise. i loved the movies so much that i wished there was more of them, then i found this show and got so many more hours of toothless :) the series is a little bit more for kids and the production quality is a little less than the movies but that is to be expected. all in all i'm so glad the new season is out. i've been waiting what seemed like forever. i can't wait for the 3rd movie even though it is the end from what i hear.

Man, it is so good, just watch it. You won't regret, I promise. If you enjoyed the movies, go ahead in the series

The first couple of seasons were interesting and inspired by the intrigue that the series with a story of excellent full-time animations will tell me an interesting stories about dragons. But how am I mistaken... Each story must have its end. Every series in the world, which stretched on more episodes than the author can "give birth to ideas" just to extend the screen-time and for harvesting more money - never became interesting. If at first some stupid acts, flat jokes and banal for serials, plot twists could be attributed to "well, this cartoon is watched by children too", after a certain point, from season to season, it became just plain stupid. Fourth and fifth seasons I just rewound all the filler series, and could barely watch the main plot episodes: Enemies are not finished off - otherwise there will be no plot for more episodes, stupid jokes do not stop - the normal ones have already jumbled. First, to speed up the event very much to show the danger of the situation, and immediately to slow down much so that everyone can do everything(even drink tea if you wish). Starting from the fourth season, after in my opinion the disastrous end of the third, I'm just tired of the folly and banalities of this series. So 7/10.

If you are a fan of Hiccup, Astrid or Hiccup/Astrid - do yourself a favor: Stick to the movies only. You aren't missing any worthy character- or relationship development here.

According to this show, Hiccup is a bland, selfish and annoyingly perfect "hero" while Astrid is a bland, brutish, angry and narrow minded "one-note" character.

An extremely superficial and degrading interpretation of the two most beloved human characters from the movies.

Hiccup is not the russet-haired, tooth-gaped, dorky but sarcastic little boy from HTTYD. Neither is he the handsome, ridiculously theatric but impressive and charming guy from HTTYD 2. The guy who would put the people he loves first. The guy who cares for humans and dragons alike. Irresponsible, sometimes even a little overconfident, but still endearing and likable. The Hiccup everyone fell in love because of his soft and welcoming personality.

That guy is nowhere to be found here. Calling Hiccup unlikeable on Race to the Edge is an understatement. More often than not, he is used as a self-insert by the show's writers and forced into obsessing over the show's original characters.

Astrid is the main female character of HTTYD. She is praised by fans for being a girly girl and able to kick butt at the same time. Astrid on Race to the Edge is masculinized and written as a brute. Even her fighting style, usually acrobatic - relying on technique over strength, is inconsistent and badly executed. The show went as far as painting her disrespectful, rude and standoffish. There is lots of passive aggressive hate from the writers directed at her.

Race to the Edge completely slaughters Hiccup and Astrid's characters. It's no wonder their relationship is handled as carelessly. They couldn't write the characters right, it shouldn't come as a shock that their interpretation of their relationship is just as disappointing.

Again, stick to the movies.

Being a massive fan of the first two HTTYD, I couldn't wait un till the 3rd film was released so after stumbling across this series on Netflix, I was absolutely hooked. its incredibly well written, with likeable characters who range from Hiccup who is as smart as they come, to Ruff and Tuff who provide laugh out loud, witty moments. the relationship between Hiccup and Toothless is what made me love the franchise to begin with and you get to see a lot more of their amazing bond in this series. every episode has a fun, intriguing storyline and there is plenty of twists and turns along the way. I am an adult and I can't get enough of the gang. it just made the release of HTTYD 3 the whole more satisfying. I would definitely recommend.
