Trollhunters

Exciting, stylish, fun, entertaining, action packed, and very, very impressive. Trollhunters is an adventure story of kid-turned-hero à la Buffy the Vampire Slayer; it has a light, quirky, and humorous attitude à la Meet the Robinsons; incredibly detailed and immersive world-building à la Avatar; and a good dose of Del Toro's sinister monsters and dark psychological twists. Although aimed at a younger audience, it holds the depth and complexity of any adult show, while remaining whimsically childlike. Light and dark are perfectly balanced – it's got both silly kid humour and suspenseful situations that are genuinely unsettling. This is, after all, the same guy who made Pan's Labyrinth, and you can definitely see the influence here.

I was constantly impressed with the depth of imagination and real cleverness of this series. The unique monsters, magical elements, and new plot complications never stopped coming. The overall story arc is fantastically well-written, and character developments and relationships are truly believable and affecting. The baddies are interestingly conflicted, the goodies are endearing and extremely likable. You've got the terrified yet courageous hero Jim, clumsy yet smart wing man Toby, and sweet yet kick-ass Shakespeare-aficionado Claire, and all the rest, equally original. Brilliant voice acting too, especially from the late Anton Yelchin. Oh, and it's beautifully animated. Little wonder it won six Emmys!

Del Toro's creation is flawless. Trollhunters is something you can enjoyably binge-watch and then put off watching the last few episodes because you don't want it to come to an end. I can't wait for the second season – I haven't watched anything this good in a long time.

At first glance, this might look like a kids-only series to any adult that sees this in the Netflix menus.

However, it is extremely captivating with lots of relevance to adults too (just look at all the reviews!). Much more relevant than expected.

As a couple, both of us (age 43 and 56) have gotten hooked. Please keep publishing more original animated series like this on Netflix, it keeps us coming back for more.

I had come across this series on Netflix, and after watching the first season, I love it! I thought it was a really awesome show from DreamWorks.

The series is about a teenager named Jim Lake Jr., who found an unusual amulet in the midst of a pile of rubble that was under the city bridge. In the evening, two trolls, Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!!, came to Jim's house and explained that the amulet had chosen him to be the first ever human "Trollhunter," a guardian who protects an underground world of trolls and gnomes from wicked trolls. The troll pair also stated that the rubble pile belonged to the previous Trollhunter Kanjigar. Jim tries to adapt to his new-found position with Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!! Also, with his best friend Toby's help, an evil plot is unfolding in the city of Arcadia, which makes it difficult to figure out who is a friend or a foe. That is all I know.

So overall, I love this series for its fantasy, humor, and awesome animation.

We just finished watching Netflix Original Series of The Trollhunters series' based on Guillermo del Toro's book. The story line is brilliant! There are plenty of twists & turns. Just when you think you know all the tricks, more pop up and surprise you. Being an animator myself, I really enjoyed the special effects. They were artistically done without over doing it. The animation is wonderful with beautiful landscapes. The voice talent is especially stellar with Kelsey Grammar and Jonathan Hyde! Thank you Dreamworks! My family ate it up and are clamoring for the next series! Will there be a 2nd or more series? If so when might the 2nd series happen? Thank you again for fabulously entertaining series!

Most excellent I started watching and just could not stop. I told all my kids about it so well done. I love Anton and am so sad for the loss and pray this show continues. As I am super excited to see what happens next Such a great premise the characters the look and feel of the show just awesome. This animation is great for kids of all ages nothing bad just exciting and fun. His Mom totally makes me laugh. Just fun characters with great personalities.
