Fantasy really isn't my genre, plus there just isn't a lot of fantasy series as compared to other genres since it is pretty hard to pull off. Anyway here are the ones I like.
Game of Thrones (2011 - 2019)
I have not seen this in a long time and have only seen up to season 3. I've basically been waiting for the series to complete so I can binge watch everything when I do get HBO Go. Anyway I love what I have seen, and have thankfully yet to be spoiled of the seasons I haven't seen. Sometimes I read non fiction history books and think this stuff is crazy, I can't believe this actually happened and hey wouldn't something like this make a good TV series. Then in comes Game of Thrones which has just about the same crazy political intrigue, only it's fiction and has magic and dragons...and doesn't have like five guys all named Edward or Henry or Thomas, so win-win.
Once Upon a Time (2011 - 2018)
I have also seen this up to season three. I would say that the effects in this looks pretty terrible especially the green screen stuff. But I sort of got passed it because the story is imaginative and it was fun seeing all the mostly fairytale Disney characters together with their stories all interwined. This is definitely a very bingeable series.
Fantaghirò (1991 - 1996)
This Italian series is also known as The Cave of the Golden Rose. I think this was originally a series of TV movies. However ,when I saw it when I was very young, it was actually divided into shorter episodes and it was also dubbed, so I had no idea it was from Italy until recently. Anyway I saw it so long ago, I don't remember much other than it was set in a fairytale setting with a very adventurous princess as the main character, who by the later episodes had cut off her hair and dressed like a man. I really enjoyed the series then and would love to see it again.

We share one pick with Once Upon a Time although I haven't seen the show yet.
ReplyDeleteNot too long ago I was discussing Fantaghirò with a friend who wasn't sure whether the show really existed or she had only imagined it.
Fantaghirò - I totally understand. I didn't even remember the title. All I had when I went searching for the series was European Tv series from the 80s or 90s with Rose in the title. Somehow I found it.
DeleteI've only seen Game of Thrones, which was my favorite TV show of all time and now I'm in mourning because I cannot believe it ended as badly as it did.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that many are disappointed with the ending. Oh well, at least you can look forward to the book ending.
DeleteI haven’t seen Game of Thrones because I don’t have HBO nor have I even heard of the 3rd one. I did watch the first season of Once Upon a Time but my hubby got bored with it and I already tape so much that I passed on it. Maybe one day I will rewatch the whole thing
ReplyDeleteHaha...me too...one day I'll continue with the fourth season.
DeleteOh we match with Once Upon and I also stopped somewhere. I don't remember where. :D
ReplyDeleteI know I stopped before the Frozen characters came on, which was the fourth season.
