10/10
Rather well done continuation of Jim Henson's innovative legacy.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is another Netflix series that achieves a home-run in its first couple of episodes. Its story is very different to the original movie yet you can tell the series has the same aesthetic DNA running through every frame and scene. Age of Resistance has the same seamlessly realised escapism of The Dark Crystal movie and that's really saying something considering how modernised things have become in 2019 entertainment-wise: this still feels like the same movie universe audiences were introduced to in the 80s, only this time things aren't held back on a technical front.

Age of Resistance takes a cult classic film and continues the story of Thra and the Skeksis in very creative and layered ways, enhancing the world of the original movie.

This show is essentially Game of Thrones meets The Muppets (mixed with a teeny little bit of Zelda).
