When creating the show's narrative, Guillermo del Toro noted that he wanted a "bittersweet journey" for Jim, that he should deal with issues that most such "power fantasies" failed to address: "You can be in high school and you can have your problems, then you get all these powers and then you have a different set of problems. There is no such thing as a final great outcome." See more »

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.
