Perfect for fans of Leagues of Legends and newcomers alike, Arcane brought what made Riot Games so different from most gaming companies, their amazing visuals outside of the games. Amidst the escalating unrest between the rich, utopian city of Piltover and the seedy, oppressed undercity of Zaun, sisters Vi ( Hailee Steinfeld) and Jinx ( Ella Purnell) find themselves on opposing sides of a brewing war over clashing convictions and arcane technologies. Riot Games' first foray in adapting their incredibly successful League of Legends game with Arcane was probably the success that they wanted. – Yael TygielĬast: Hailee Steinfeld, Ella Purnell, Kevin Alejandro, Katie Leung, Jason Spisak, Harry Lloyd, Toks Olagundoye, JB Blanc, Reed Shannon and Mick Wingert

Elliot Page stars alongside Emmy Raver-Lampman and Robert Sheehan in this truly mind-bendingly entertaining series.

When Hargreeves’ death reunites them, they must uncover the secrets of their lives while also attempting to stop an apocalyptic event. Adopted by the wealthy and enigmatic Sir Reginald Hargreeves ( Colm Feore), these seven discovered they had special powers and were forced to train to become a team of superheroes, The Umbrella Academy. The first season premiered in 2019 and followed seven children who were all mysteriously born in October 1989 by previously not pregnant mothers. One of the wackiest and most pleasantly off-the-walls science fiction series to appear on Netflix, The Umbrella Academy is based on the comics and graphic novels of the same name and comes from the mind of Gerard Way, lead singer of My Chemical Romance, and Steve Blackman.
