    10/10
    An epic fantasy adventure that will please old and new fans alike.
    The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is more family-friendly and has a general sheen of class that might make it more appealing to a wider audience. It's absolutely gorgeous, with delightfully physical puppets giving a weight and realism to the colorful fantasy imagery. Some viewers might be put off by the fact it's acted out by puppets, but they'd be missing out. Age of Resistance is a compelling and powerful story packed with relatable characters.

    A prequel to the 1982 cult film The Dark Crystal, this Netflix TV adaptation expands on legendary director Jim Henson's vision. The 10-episode fantasy drama focuses on the world of Thra, which was first established in the original movie. Gelflings, who are elf-like creatures, are the sentient species living in the land of Thra. The Netflix series chronicles the lives of three young Gelflings who embark on an adventure after birthing a rebellion against Skeksis, the cruel emperor of Thra. After learning the horrifying truth behind Skeksis's powers, the trio decide to save their world from his oppressive dominion.

    A wholly magical and immersive experience, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance knows exactly where it's going and how it needs to get there. It is truly an enchanting and immersive visual and narrative experience unlike any other. The series also proves beauty can exist within a fully-realized world. Filled with gorgeous cinematography, carefully-crafted narratives, and memorable performances, this Netflix series is easily one of the most original and adventurous shows of 2019.
