Netflix’s hit series Arcane is TV’s best Game of Thrones successor
- Arcane is a Netflix's animated series which offers a viewing experience that is closer to Game of Thrones‘ than any other show currently on TV.
- The series is set in the League of Legends video game universe and set in a visually striking world, with a complex storyline revolving around the class divide between the citizens of the rich, clean, upper crust city of Piltover and those who live in the neglected, smog-covered, and dangerous undercity of Zaun.
- Arcane's story primarily revolves around its various characters, and the conflict between Zaun and Piltover plays out much like the battle for the Iron Throne in Game of Thrones.
- Arcane excels in balancing its multiple storylines in its first season, particularly the relationship between its two de facto leads, Violet and Jinx, voiced by Hailee Steinfeld and Ella Purnell, respectively.
- The season follows the orphaned sisters as they end up on opposite sides of the Zaun versus Piltover conflict.
- The explosive and richly rewarding first season of Arcane follows the growing conflict between the two cities and the relationships between its various characters.
- Arcane's second season struggles slightly to balance its many ideas and storylines but remains one of the most pulse-pounding, imaginative, and surprising TV titles on the air right now.
- The series is remarkably good at ratcheting up tension and finding ways to inject sudden, surprising levels of danger into scenes and episodes that seemed previously innocuous.
- Arcane thrives on political strategizing, ruthlessness, and faction-versus-faction violence which made Game of Thrones so frequently thrilling.
- Overall, Arcane is the best and truest successor to Game of Thrones in terms of sustained, operatic, and visceral drama.
