I finished the first season within 2 days. Its a very good series which I will enjoy seeing if there are more seasons coming out in the future or (parts). Since the actor of Jim in this series recently died will there be another actor that sounds familiar taking his place?. Or will this series end here which I don't really want to happen to this show. Its a really amazing series you have to watch. I was so addicted to this show I went and bought the book and read it in like 1 day. Hopefully there will be another season. You have to watch this series on Netflix if you haven't already. Keep up the good work. I can't wait when I get a notification when season 2 is released!!
This show was a triumph For del Toro and for Nexflix. Rarely do I find a show for children that completely captures me as an adult. While the broad picture is a fantasy world built for children, the script and storytelling will pull in any parent who watches it with them. Trollhunters does something very few forms of entertainment do these days, it offers something parents and children can enjoy together.
As I watched the show my two sons (11 and 3) were all enjoying it and for the same reasons. The imagery, the suspense, the action and the emotion made you want to binge watch it to the end. I know it will be something to watch again (with two boys it's inevitable) and I am sure that it will be a show to look for missed treasures that were missed before.

I had come across this series on Netflix, and after watching the first season, I love it! I thought it was a really awesome show from DreamWorks.
The series is about a teenager named Jim Lake Jr., who found an unusual amulet in the midst of a pile of rubble that was under the city bridge. In the evening, two trolls, Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!!, came to Jim's house and explained that the amulet had chosen him to be the first ever human "Trollhunter," a guardian who protects an underground world of trolls and gnomes from wicked trolls. The troll pair also stated that the rubble pile belonged to the previous Trollhunter Kanjigar. Jim tries to adapt to his new-found position with Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!! Also, with his best friend Toby's help, an evil plot is unfolding in the city of Arcadia, which makes it difficult to figure out who is a friend or a foe. That is all I know.
So overall, I love this series for its fantasy, humor, and awesome animation.

An incredible series, for the whole family and all ages, fun story, heroic, romantic, epic, full of mythological beings presented with a phenomenal freshness. It contains all the nuances necessary to captivate the public. Worth a second and third season at least.
The characters are solid but do not have enough time in the first season to develop. We did not finish seeing the different facets of the main characters. Being a story based on mythology has incredible possibilities to continue and delight the audience.
It would be a shame not to continue, for my refreshing result to see a proposal of this type of part of Guillermo del Toro, which, without departing from what he usually offers us, ventures into animated projects with a lighter character, being a story fit for everything I publish without being boring or bland.
In my particular opinion the lamentable loss of Anton Yelchin should not mean the truncation of this incredible proposal. I think there are enough actors in the market who can bring new life to Jim's character.
Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy this first season.

We just finished watching Netflix Original Series of The Trollhunters series' based on Guillermo del Toro's book. The story line is brilliant! There are plenty of twists & turns. Just when you think you know all the tricks, more pop up and surprise you. Being an animator myself, I really enjoyed the special effects. They were artistically done without over doing it. The animation is wonderful with beautiful landscapes. The voice talent is especially stellar with Kelsey Grammar and Jonathan Hyde! Thank you Dreamworks! My family ate it up and are clamoring for the next series! Will there be a 2nd or more series? If so when might the 2nd series happen? Thank you again for fabulously entertaining series!

Del Toro added that his experience as a father and Yelchin's young age were also factors that led to the decision.
