Considered by many to be the best Netflix series, it is finally making its return after three years of waiting for its final season.
The Netflix catalog is vast, constantly updated with new products to offer more programs to subscribers. And certain series or films really have to be excellent to stand out from the crowd. Among the original productions in the catalog (we exclude additions such as Breaking Bad for example), one of them is almost unanimously considered to be the best Netflix series.
On paper, however, we can understand that some people do not necessarily want to give the program a chance. Wrongly. Arcane is a serial adaptation of the famous video game League of Legends whose first season was a hit in 2021. But if you are not familiar with the universe developed by Riot Games, don't panic: it's impossible to be lost in front of this series which incorporates characters and a universe known to players to make them accessible to newbies.
In detail, Arcane follows the story of Vi and Powder, two orphaned sisters who grew up in the precarious underground city of Zaun, rival to the wealthy Piltover. The tragedies of life will separate them until adulthood, to the point that their goals seem irreconcilable, reconciliation impossible. At the same time, two scientists make a discovery allowing great technological advances for Piltover… provided that they do not fall into the wrong hands, while the conflict with Zaun seems imminent.
Currently there is no series like Arcane on Netflix. A true gem of animation, the first season enjoyed resounding critical and popular success (100% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, a spectator rating of 4.6/5 on Allociné, 9/10 on IMDB…). This, thanks to high-level staging and animation (the drawings but also the combat scenes are impressive), an accessible and captivating narrative, developed characters, all served by the music of Imagine Dragons.
Arcane therefore stands out from all Netflix series by its quality and strong identity. The nine episodes of the first season, each lasting around forty minutes, are worth catching up on Netflix urgently if you missed the phenomenon. Because season 2, which will also be the conclusion of the series, is coming soon: the new episodes are posted online on November 9, 16 and 23 on Netflix.
