My whole family (kids ages 12, 9 & 7 & 2 adults) really enjoys watching this show together! The characters are well done. The dialogue is witty and funny. The story is very compelling! We hope more seasons come out Very Soon! The kids tell me to add that the little creature named Bait is the best!

If You are a fan of the avatar series the dragon Prince is a perfect spiritual successor to watch on netflix.

This show is absolutely fantastic if you're a fan of Avatar the last Airbender or even just a fan of fantasy this is the perfect show for you the story is in depth the characters are great and it's all so well paced you'll be wanted more after every season watched. Highly recommended!!

I was hoping this would be a good show and I am happy to say that it is. It has an interesting story and great characters. Most complaints I read here were about the animation which didn't bother me. The animation gets smoother in season 2 and I'm also happy that the story didn't lose its momentum in season 2 but actually gets even more interesting . I highly recommend this series.

Our family began watching this for the kids but then the parents are watching without the kids! We all love it. Very well written script. Simple, real characters. Neat twists. I'm invested in these guys, I wanna see how it goes for them! That's what a good show is made of. Add a Scottish accent and I'm hooked! Check it out!!

This show is like the sphinx, or like the leaning tower of Pisa. 99% perfect. The flaws add to the perfection. There are no bad guys. Rayla, Ezran, and Callum, may be the protagonists, but Viren, Claudia and Soren are hardly despicable bad guys. In fact, they have qualities we can agree with. There are no bad guys. Just politically juxtaposed ideals and steadfastness in their stances. This show is basically just as good, maybe better than Game of Thrones. It's a family friendly version. These characters are magnetic, substantial. Every character has redeeming qualities we can relate to. 100% certified fresh? I fully agree. This show is a must watch for everyone

Despite technically being considered an adult, I still Rewatch avatar: the last airbender and the legend of korra pretty regularly. Those shows, as well as the Dragon Prince I believe are very important as they allow children to watch a tv show that has just as much heart and love put into it as any adult television. Shows like these allow children, as well as others to watch a show that doesn't dumb down its subject matter or lore. Shows like these give kids the oputunity to watch non serialized tales that teach life lessons. I've watched the first few episodes and it shows nuances unlike anything seen in children's television. It is perfect for adults who are sick of watching spongebob squarepants with their children. It is very entertaining as well as well-written and facinating. It is perfect for anyone at any age and would highly recommend.

At the time of writing, Wonderstorm has just released season 3. So far, this show is one of the most captivating and inspiring stories that I have seen in my generation, animated or not. The animation style originally proved to be a hurdle, but the second season smoothed it out. After every season release I have been in awe at the masterful writing this show displays in it's enthralling plot line, authentic character development, and beautiful moral driving everything. Most notably is the constant ethical balance the characters keep in their stance on how the world should change. I have never seen a show that so vividly protrays important moral concepts like self justification, stereotyping, and ambiguity while keeping the wholesome and light hearted nature of the writing style. This is a story that deserves to be told, and personally brings back feelings of the first time I read Tolken's 'The Lord of the Rings'.

This is specifically a review for Season 2, and not Season 1. If you are new to this show, I would recommend reading Season 1 reviews as they may be more useful to you.

While I won't go into any specific details to avoid spoilers, I will simply say that Season 2 is fantastic, and a real pleasure to experience. If you enjoyed Season 1, or even thought Season 1 was "pretty good but nothing special", you have to see Season 2. It is truly amazing. Everything was just incredible, the art, the backgrounds, the music, the fight scenes were INCREDIBLY good and high quality, the story was amazingly well rounded with tons of development, backstory, and mysteries still left to unveil.

But most importantly, the true beauty of the show really shined again this Season, and that was the characters. The dialogue is just superb. I particularly love Soren's character, and just how much life he breathes into every scene he's in. All the new characters are fantastic, and one of them in particular has a voice of GOLD (you'll know what I mean when you watch the season). I wouldn't go through every character that were great because truly they all were, but Callum, Rayla, Ezren, Claudia and Soren had some fantastic scenes in this season.

The animation has gotten so much better, it is very smooth and flows very very well. While I never had a problem with Season 1's animation, if that ever bugged you, this newer Season has completely removed all of the stuttering and frame problems.

Now what are you still doing here? GO WATCH SEASON 2 ALREADY

Took 2+- Years and its only ground for the new seasons, i understand this is important but man why the whole season!

And its not just that, i cant feel the same way with the characters because they act out of character. This season was so desperate to have a actionful last episodes they messed up.

I still believe in the series, but dont go into with too much expectations.

Season 5 hopefully will be on at july 2023, i hope they make a banger last 3 seasons because they sacraficed a whole season and 2 years for this.

For the previous 3 seasons my review is 8.3 average.

Even tho this season is murdered you should check this one out!

While I miss the Last Airbender/Legend of Korra franchise, this is a really good show for all ages. The characters are very well created, the story develops pretty well, the humor can be pretty funny, and all in all a great adventure. The new animation style is pretty cool, and there were some times that I did see the old style of the writer's work in the characters expressions and dialogue.

Tl;dr 8/10 for the first 3 seasons. After that the show nosedives.

Full review.

"The Dragon Prince" started with great promise in its initial three seasons. These early episodes showcased a rich, engaging world filled with intriguing characters and a compelling plot. The animation style was unique, blending traditional 2D character design with 3D environments, creating a visually stunning experience. The story, centered around two human princes and an elf assassin, was both engaging and emotionally resonant, dealing with themes of war, peace, and understanding. There was humor and flashes of great writing.

However, the show's quality took a noticeable downturn starting from Season 4. The writing, once sharp and nuanced, became increasingly lackluster. Plotlines that were carefully built in the first three seasons seemed to unravel, losing the depth and complexity that initially made the show appealing. Characters, once richly developed, started to feel one-dimensional, and their decisions and growth no longer felt organic.

Season 5 continued this disappointing trend. The narrative, which had been tightly woven in the earlier seasons, felt disjointed and rushed. Key story arcs were resolved in unsatisfying ways, and new plotlines introduced felt superficial and unengaging. It seemed as if the show had lost sight of what made it special in the first place.

In summary, while the first three seasons of "The Dragon Prince" are definitely worth watching for their storytelling, character development, and unique animation style, the subsequent seasons fail to live up to the high standards set by their predecessors. Seasons 4 and 5 suffer from poor writing and storytelling, making them less enjoyable and, unfortunately, not worth the time for fans who cherished the show's initial excellence.

I honestly didn't know it was created by the makers of Last Airbender until I finished the first season (though I recognized Sokka's voice actor and the book one intro should've been a clue) and I don't care to compare it to AtLA. Its an amazing show on its own! Diverse characters, character development, intrigue, humor, heart warming moments, and 8 even teared up. Is it perfect? No but it doesn't have to be. This is my new favorite show, as I'm sure it is for a lot of people. Really excited to see season 2!

The firstthree seasons of this series have it all, adventure, humor, pathos. There is something about the characters as drawn and voiced that really works. I love that the show is diversity friendly. I enjoyed the critique of human greed and constant need for a kind of techno power. I felt the plot line was enjoyable and restorative. I re-watched the series more than once. Was and am an eager fan.

It seems that something that was natural and easy, became over thought in season 4. I found season 4 very hard to watch. Something that was really working in season 1-3, was turned off in season 4. It is a shame. Season 4 (mystery of avvaros) took over the name of the series in many renditions. I think that is a shame also.

I absolutely loved this series. Wish it was longer but a lot developed in the 9 episodes. I would've given a 10 but the animation is a bit off. It seems like a really cheap and lazy form of animation. It felt like i was watching a bunch of stills from a book with no movement. Not a fan of outlining everything. Despite this which is just a personal preference i loved the show. Good character development and great story. Very similiar to Avatar the last airbender, which is still one of the best cartoons ever. Callum reminds me a lot like Sokka. Overall worth watching cant wait for season 2.

I was skeptical when I saw this announced and heard it was from Avatar creators. While The Last Airbender was a good show, I didn't want to see that recreated with dragons slapped on the label. While the show initially irked me by following the same "Book/Chapter" format to the seasons and titles along with having elemental sources of power, I was happily refreshed by how original everything else was. While there are design elements I don't necessarily like, all of the characters so far are so unique and unexpected. Who thinks to animate a mute warrior and have them use sign language in a cartoon? And it really works. Overall I really like the story and want to see more. And I, for one, enjoy the animation style. It draws me back to Dragon Booster and I love it.

I did se season one in one go. And it did not feel long. Good characters, good story, beautiful artwork. Yes, I did see the Last Airbinder/Korra references. Yes, it was made for young people. But for one who graded up to level 60, I do relax and enjoy this kind of TV shows of this quality. A light in a dark world. Yes I do dream of dragons, ever since Anne McCaffrey Dragon riders of Pern. Well done, you lot.

The Dragon Prince is awesome. It has a highly entertaining story, clever humor, interesting characters, and tons of beautiful art. It also takes cues from some of the best elements in Avatar: the Last Airbender, and manages to make them feel fresh and uniquely its own (e.g. different types of magic compared to different types of bending).

The animation looks great as well. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical of the 3D art style at first, but after the first episode, I was already used to it and ended up really liking it!

The lore and setting of The Dragon Prince has much to offer as well. Featuring a medieval setting with magic, knights, assassins, and, of course, dragons! There's so much to enjoy in The Dragon Prince. If you're looking for an engaging show with great lore and great characters (as well as a similar feel and good writing like Avatar: the Last Airbender) then The Dragon Prince is for you.

I didnt really know what the show was but I started watching it and got hooked on it. It definitely got me emotionally attached to each character and they all have a crucial part In the show. The show is very funny its clever and keeps you on your toes. I always want to know what will happen next.

I decided to watch Netflix's original series, "The Dragon Prince" for two reasons. The first is that it is an alternative to the grimdark sensibilities of most epic fantasy properties in the wake of "Game of Thrones." This is a world where heroes can actually be noble, and magic can be something awe-inspiring. The second, and more important reason, is that one of its co-creators, Aaron Ehasz, was the head writer on the show, "Avatar: The Last Airbender," considered by many to be the benchmark for epic, all-ages fantasy series. Thus, the question for myself, and I'm sure many other adults watching this show, is "does Dragon Prince live up to Avatar?"

The quick answer after 2 seasons is that while it's promising, it has yet to reach the heights that "Avatar" did. This is not a criticism exactly, as it's (hopefully) only just beginning its story. Even looking back on "Avatar," its first season was only but a glimmer of the greatness it would achieve, as it had to build up to the highs that seasons 2 and 3 gave audiences. "Dragon Prince" would appear to be following in those footsteps. The biggest issue with the show so far is its pacing, with the end of season 1 hardly feeling like it contained a climax at all. Fortunately, this is not a huge issue thanks to Netflix's bingeable platform allowing one to go straight into season 2, but it would still be nice for each season's narrative structure to feel as satisfying as I think they probably meant it to. It would also be nice if the seasons themselves were longer than the mere 9 episodes they're given.

Pacing issues aside, "The Dragon Prince" is a worthy successor to some of the best elements of "Avatar" and it has Ehasz's fingerprints all over it, in ways both big and small. The lore is deep and rich, though not so deep as to be intimidating. Inclusivity is a given, such as the badass army commander who just so happens to be a deaf woman. There is a pervasive sense of fun and humor throughout the whole show, but it also tackles serious, complex, even philosophical topics, and it weaves these 2 tones seamlessly. There's an established magic system that consistently follows its own logic and also serves to reflect the psychology and emotional state of the characters. Above all else, the show is built on the backs of likeable, well-rounded, three-dimensional characters and their relationships with each other.

"The Dragon Prince" is worth giving a shot, especially if you are a fan of "Avatar: The Last Airbender." There are elements of the intangible ways each show is crafted where I find "Avatar" to be superior, but I chose not to comment on that in this comparative review, as it's hard to tell if that's nostalgia speaking. The main takeaway should be that, as of the time of this review, "Dragon Prince" has built a very solid foundation for success for itself, and I'll excitedly be watching for it to hopefully live up to that success.

It's fun. Good story, world building and characters. I like the music, the humor is decent and the voice acting is good as well.

While the animation looks ok as far as the art style goes (it's kinda cell shaded and lacks fine details but has a nice color pallet and basic conept) the frame rate is abysmally low. It's really obvious and its jarring. The action is decent but at these frame rates fast/quick motion in in the action scenes is clunky and jarring. Even in normal conversation the characters look robotic. They can hardly get the mouths to match the voices properly because the frame rate is so bad. It all just looks off.

Its a real shame to because there is definitely something here, but it's hard to watch because they didnt throw enough money into animating enough frames to do it justice

First of all i didn't expect this to be a 3D animation nor having an anime style ! i started watching this blindly and i was so ready to hate it, but the art was absolutely beautiful the animation wasn't smooth but somehow completely worked, the characters are very good from the starts, the story feels original and keeps surprising me and the comedy is getting better and better! I really hope to see many seasons of this show!
