The Dragon Prince is a wonderfully developed series with a wide age demographic. It handles far darker issues than most children's shows commit to, such as war and grief. The cast of characters is wonderfully diverse.
The story is quite compelling, with a fresh new take on traditional fantasy conventions.
The art is lush (although the frame rate is rather jittery in the first season).
The best part is the characterization. Each character feels like a real, distinct person, shaped by their backstory and the world they live in, with realistic flaws and personality traits. The show also tackles moral ambiguity head-on, set in a world at war with "centuries of wrongs on both sides". Characters make mistakes, and these mistakes affect the plot realistically. The writers are also, quite thankfully, willing to let the characters change and grow and develop as the series progresses, leading to wonderful character arcs.
Overall, 10/10 recommend this show, as the plot holes are few, the characters are well-developed and multidimensional, the story intriguing, and the setting unique.
Amazing Characters, Great Story, And Overall Great Show (As Of Season 3).
