Troll Hunters on Netflix

Post by James Craft »

I won't lie, this is one of my new favorite shows (nevermind that it is for kids!) and I want to read the books now to see what came before. It is very clever and well-put together, though I'm only halfway through the season.

Anyone seen it? What do you all think?

I've watched a bit of it (with my 5 year old! :) )
But I agree, it's a good one!

We just started watching the series! My daughter loves mythical creatures and when we were scrolling through, she was like "what's that mommy?". So far whitty, and pretty good storyline. She really enjoys it as well

I've been meaning to watch this! The art is absolutely fantastic and the trailer looks amazing. I've heard so many good things about, and I'm looking forward to it.

I have heard a couple of positive things about the show from many of my friends in the past and I have been wanting to check it out for a while, is it as good as it seems?

I actually really enjoyed watching this series even though I am way older than the age suggestion for this show. I didn't realize that it was based off of a book so now I am curious on if the books are the same as the tv series.

Hahaha. My husband and I are absolutely kid-less and we BINGED this show. Even with the changes made from the book (of which I was fortunate enough to get an ARC years back,) it was still endearing, and just such a fun time.

My husband and I are the same way. We just came across it one day on Netflix and decided to try it. it's the one show we can talk about with his 7 year old nephew. I think my husband enjoyed it as much as his Marvel and DC shows.

Rumor around Troll Market is that adults like this series every bit as much as kids do. I binged the most recent season and am impatiently waiting for the next. Hear me, Netflix?

I love this show! The animation and voice acting is amazing. I'm so sad that Anton Yelchin died. The story line is so unique, I'll be so sad when its over.

Absolutely AMAZING series. I'm up to date and can not WAIT for the next season. It's a great example of how a serious show aimed for a younger audience should be- has high stakes but isn't too heavy, good plot twists, great character design, and a strong plot. Not to mention, super accessible to an adult audience watching it, a la Steven Universe or Star Versus the Forces of Evil.

I am in my 20's and I watch this series on Netflix with my 15 yr old sister and 12 yr old brother and I loved it! I'm definitely a fan and plan to re-watch this series again, even though it is geared toward a younger audience. I have found out recently that there is a book(s?) and plan to read it. The movies were brilliantly planned out and the characters were very memorable and enjoyable. There was a lot of character development that was satisfying to see and the story line was just unique and exciting. The Netflix preview does not in any way do it justice, which is disappointing. I wish more people knew how good this series is and could enjoy it.
