I've been wanting a new engaging fantasy series and boy does it fit the bill. I enjoy when a fantasy series instantly feels like an established, lived-in world, and this definitely does. Lovable characters across the board and compelling villains.

Also Kaz is the best character.

The show looks like something a 12 year old girl would like.

Or a 31 year old man, like me. Or my 30 year old girlfriend. Or our 20, 27, and 28 year old friends who all watched it with us.

It's a good series.

And it has good acting, a compelling plot, and no similarities to Twilight whatsoever.

And sorry, but if you think Jessie Mei Li and Ben Barnes aren't hot, lol

How does it feel knowing even 12 year old girls are more successful than NEETs who pretend to be lawyers SMAL

Huh? Like 80% of the cast is hot. I'll give you Mal since he's got a weird face, but come on...

Yeah Mal's probably the least conventionally attractive character of the main cast and even he's not an uggo.

the trailer looked intriguing, but the novels it is based on are YA, and i don't find that appealing
Kinda silly to write off the adaptation based on the source. I've seen a lot of people saying the show is definitely more mature/appeals to a wider audience than the books. I'm no fan of YA either.

At least give it a shot. It's got an extremely cool premise. There's a group of thieves (Referring to Kaz, Jesper, and Inej of course) that are just...the fucking best.

Yeah the Crows are easily the best part of the show imo. Even without magic a story about them and Ketterdam would be A+

Wait... people actually decide to dislike something just because it is categorized as young adult?
This like the naruto crap meme but not being a meme.

I watched it when it first came out, and I thought that it was really entertaining.

and I know it was unintended, since it filmed before a lot of the stuff started happening, but it felt pretty topical with the anti-Asian hate the lead has to go through (I already forgot what the race/nationality is called in the series).

but yea, I liked the Crows the most.

Does it really? It sounds just like your standard trope-y chosen one YA story. Ill probably give it a shot with the way yall are talking about it though.
