Arcane is a wonderful series, obviously beautiful but also deeply earnest.
This show is unafraid to feel things, and feel themhard.
I’ve watched the first six of the final nine episodes coming to Netflix over the next few weeks.
There are strikingly obvious (albeit given the lengthy development, probably coincidental) real-world parallels here.
A prosperous, technologically and economically advanced society and its oppressed neighbour; a terror attack; the response.
before receding to something broader.
Expect punched mirrors, punched faces, screams and tears and multiple needle-drop, techno-punk montages.
Frankly, it’s magnificent.
I hear it’s perfectly great.
I suspect that’s a ‘me problem’ though.
I could go on.
I do wish I could see those final three episodes now, as well.
But also because I just really would like to see what happens next.
But it’s really a bit more noble.
We should be delighted it exists at all.
Season two of Arcane launches onNetflixfrom 9th November.
