The Barbarian and the Troll

I've only seen two episodes and i love it.

I love the characters, the humor,the story and the songs.

Refreshing to watch.

A ferocious warrior princess is accompanied by a young troll on a quest to help a wizard defeat a witch and regain his daughter. It might sound like a common theme, but this is a clever, imaginative comedy populated by puppets. Only adults will understand all the humor, which is as layered as you choose to delve into. This is a parody of adventure tropes filled with pop culture references.

Brendar is a comely lass with feltish skin. The maid marionette crosses paths with a troll who seeks a purpose, though he does like to compose and perform spontaneous ballads while playing lute. In days of yore, this was a popular way of conveying lore. They battle a skeleton crew and deal with all manner of natural and supernatural impediments.

This series will be appreciated by all pupaphiliacs. Expect anachronisms, memes, and self-referential humor. Don't worry about the gnomenclature. There's a funny crepuscular raptor, but I'll leave that for another chapter.

As a grownup fan of medieval fantasy and liker of the Muppets, I've really been starting to enjoy it. What with the references to properties like Willow, The Wizard of Oz, Monty Python and such, anybody old or new to the cultures should love it. So give it a second look.

It's really fun, i watched both episodes so far and liked them a lot. Also the characters are great.

A very modern throwback. The humor is spot on for this time, very self referential, tongue-in-cheek, and meta as all get out. The music is infuriatingly catchy as well. Production values seem through the roof, and it shows: characters and environments are gorgeously detailed. I think the kids will love it. I got hints of The Witcher series, but focused on the bard, the music, and the humor.

Edit: They just made fun of my hometown. Had to upgrade from an LA 9 to a perfect Bakersfieldian 10.
