Harks back to the good "old" days. A TV series made with an awesome story, that both kids and adults who enjoy fantasy will love. In this case a story so well put together you find yourself sitting with your children, waiting for(self imposed) the next episode. Forcing yourself to switch off after each one, just to have that enjoyment of making it last longer."Dad can we watch the next Trollhunters?" being the most asked question in the house.My seven year son and my eleven year old daughter both loving it and talking about it with each other, asking their friends where they are up to (because they are all watching it too.. wait, you're not watching, quick, come with me, you can watch it at my house, "Dad can xyz, watch some Trollhunters?"... yeah it's that good). Being so involved in the story getting a lump in the throat when... watch it, I won't spoil it for you, but trust me, it's really really good ! I really hope they can find someone as good as Anton Yelchin to be Jim, but hope even more that they make a season 2.
Simply this is a great show with all the ingredients: 1- The "journey of the hero" narrative; 2- Lovable characters; 3- Really funny supporting roles, jokes and situations; 4-a lot of adventure and imagination; 5- Great acting, storytelling and rhythm. 6- smart script to engage people from kids to adults. 7- The consistency of the del Toro universe, with some familiar places and designs.
When I finished the last season, I began to watch it again. This is not common!.
The only flaw I can remark is the loss of momentum in the last season, in which the script is showing some fatigue, coincident with the long expected troll-humans clash. The third season finish with less freshness and a more conventional tone.

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.
This show was a triumph For del Toro and for Nexflix. Rarely do I find a show for children that completely captures me as an adult. While the broad picture is a fantasy world built for children, the script and storytelling will pull in any parent who watches it with them. Trollhunters does something very few forms of entertainment do these days, it offers something parents and children can enjoy together.
As I watched the show my two sons (11 and 3) were all enjoying it and for the same reasons. The imagery, the suspense, the action and the emotion made you want to binge watch it to the end. I know it will be something to watch again (with two boys it's inevitable) and I am sure that it will be a show to look for missed treasures that were missed before.

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.
