The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

Before I talk about the effects (which are without doubt amazing) I really want to say what a good job they did of expanding this series world, the changes they made from the movie really created a deeper depth to the story and characters. Explaining the law of the world, the inhabitants and how all the events/ characters are connected is what really sold me on this series (something I think the movie originally lacked in my opinion). Overall I highly enjoyed and was raring to play the next episode after the previous had finished, can't wait for season 2 to come (hopefully doesn't take to long to produce).

This really may be the best piece of media I have ever consumed. Absolutely stunning in every way. I may be forever heartbroken that Netflix decided not to continue on with this series.

Really disappointed about the cancellation, but at least we got the one season, and it was a really great one ! Thanks for the adventure :)

one of the best comebacks !! and was canceled!!!! was sooooo good!!! still worth the watch. its a prequel

This was epic! Honestly wasn't expecting it to be this good when I first started. I highly recommend you also watch the first special "Making the Dark Crystal" after you finish watching the show to see the absolute crazy amount of craftsmanship put into it.

There will be season two, yes? Mmmh...

Probably the biggest surprise of 2019. No, not probably - definitely ! I had no idea this was in the making but even if I had, I could not have expected this. Of course I do know the movie. But it has been so long ago that I don't remember anything but the fact it was a Jim Henson puppet fantasy movie. I didn't remember anything of the story. I chose not to re-watch it and instead delve right into the show which is absolutely fine to do. As I understand it the movie would be the end of the story anyway.


The production itself is amazing. And that even scratches the surface. The sets, costumes, the pupptets - the level of detail is crazy awesome. Watch this on as big a screen as possible. I am so thankful they didn't go all out CGI on this one as it wouldn't have worked like this does. The way this is shot makes you forget that you are watching puppets. This doesn't differ from any live action movie. The storytelling is immersive, it pulls you in and you are always eager to find out what will happen next. Characters are build up so that you can connect with them. You can invest in them, dislike or even hate them. There is a certain amount of darkness involved but also fun. All this is accompanied by a great musical score. This is LOTR territory as far as I'm concerned.


It is always difficult to label something as "must-see" because there are people who are simply not into this kind of stuff and that is absolutely fine. But I would really recommend to give it a try. As I mentioned this came out of nowhere for me and it went straight to the top for being the best show of 2019.

This show slayed Game of Thrones

Highly recommended. This show will be put into my collection and watched for years to come. If I ever have kids, I will show them Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and The Dark Crystal.

Wow - This really is __surprisingly good__!
I simply started it for something in the background during cooking, and then I was hooked - I couldn't help it 😃
The fact that this show is made with hand controlled puppets is insane!
**This show is one hell of an artwork, and not only that it is crazy entertaining, it sucks you right in.**



If you are around my age it will make you feel like you are in your childhood again (though I've never seen the original).
It's just like: "Labyrinth" from 1986, but with beautiful special effects.
