nice animated show
16 July 2019
This Netflix animated series is created by Guillermo del Toro. Unbeknownst to humans, trolls live under the town of Arcadia. Their chosen hero Trollhunter battles various dark forces from the Darklands. The present Trollhunter gets defeated leaving behind his magical amulet. Teenagers Jim and his bumbling best friend Toby find the amulet which chooses Jim to be the new and only human Trollhunter mentored by trolls Blinky and AARRRGGHH!!!. He has a crush on classmate Claire Nuñez.

Guillermo del Toro has a great eye for design. I don't know how involved he is with this show. I can see that the trolls have a certain del Toro vibe. The trio of kids are perfect simple hero characters and their troll friends are solid personalities. The story is pretty good for the first season. It's fun and I loved it after one season. I like the animation style and that season ends by defeating the villain. The second and third seasons drag a little as the show keeps inventing new adventures for the heroes. This is a very well-made animated show on Netflix. It ends after 3 seasons as del Toro continues with the other two parts, 3Below and Wizards, of the Arcadia trilogy.
