Serie van het jaar 2024 - Best fantasy series

Serie van het jaar 2024 - Best fantasy series

This column supports the Series of the Year election 2024 and focuses on the best fantasy series of this year. You can vote for your favorite series in this genre and others, between Monday, January 6, and Sunday February 10.
The decision has finally been made. After years of internal wrangling between writers about splitting the categories 'fantasy' and 'science fiction', the moment has finally arrived. This year they will both get their own top ten list. I hope this will appeal to you as readers too. In any case, it ensures that some series that would otherwise have been snowed under have now been given a place in the spotlight. Fortunately, this split also results in a new discussion (we can't do without it, of course), because: is this one series fantasy or science fiction?

Below, in alphabetical order, the top ten nominees of the best series from 2024;

Agatha All Along


Agatha All Along
Things have been a bit up and down for Marvel in recent years. Certainly, not all series were equally good. Let's be honest about that. A standout for me, however, was WandaVision. Agatha All Along is a direct spin-off from this and makes that a reality. A wonderful, real fantasy series full of magic. Even recommended if you're not a Marvel fan.

Avatar: The Last Airbender


Avatar: The Last Airbender (2024)
It's always exciting when a beloved animated series is adapted into live-action. It is extra exciting when the previous attempt has failed miserably. Once again opinions were divided (but of course people always have something to complain about). I thought it was a very successful series!

House of the Dragon


House of the Dragon
Of course, House of the Dragon cannot be missed on this list. You can say whatever you want. Perhaps you thought this season was a bit slow (it was at points), perhaps you expected more from it. But it was still a game of fantastic political and tactical games. Wonderful to look at. Almost a kind of historical drama (only with dragons).

Kaos


Kaos
This series did not last long. Something about mythology, something about comedy. The readers and writers liked it enough to nominate here! Unfortunately, Netflix didn't like it enough to shy away from a second season (surprising!).
Here you can read the reviews that were written about Kaos.

La Brea


La Brea
La Brea is a somewhat older series. However, I don't think I have seen this on this list before (I'm sure it's because of the split that we see it now!). The series is on my list, but I haven't seen it yet. This season was the last season.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about La Brea.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians


Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Another series that people found quite exciting to be made. The books are very popular. The films less so. Luckily, this series goes a long way in the right direction! I really enjoyed these Greek 'demigods' and can't wait for the second season.

Renegade Nell


Renegade Nell
Renegade Nell is a Disney+ adventure series and a nice addition to this list. As a MySeries user writes: 'Nice original series where supernatural forces don't make it easy for Renegade Nell after the murder of her father by the magistrate's son.'
Here you can read the reviews that were written about Renegade Nell.

Sweet Tooth


Sweet Tooth
Another complete series in this list. Sweet Tooth has been popular among MySeries users for a number of years. Did you also like the last season? We'll see.

The Devil's Hour


The Devil's Hour
One of my co-writers was very enthusiastic about this series a few years ago. Normally a series like this would not get a place on the list, but with the split between fantasy and sci-fi there is now a place for it! That's nice. I'm curious how you will vote.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power


The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Another series about which opinions are greatly divided. I gave up quite quickly myself. It didn't appeal to me. But judging by its place on this list, it might entertain many of you. That's beautiful! So many series, so many flavours.
Here you can read the reviews that were written about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

These were all ten nominees nominated by you, the readers, by the writers and myself. If you want to choose a different series, use your wildcard. Good luck voting.

Only La Brea not seen yet from this list (is on the interest list). I'm leaning towards Kaos or Rings of Power for now.

When I started scrolling through this list I didn't see anything I wanted to vote for at first. But then Kaos appeared. I nominated him myself. You think it would be easy for me.
But Renegade Nell and The Devil's Hour are also in this list. It's still going to be difficult :-)

Kaos is especially good because of Jeff Goldblum, but I also really liked the story based on Greek mythology.
Renegade Nell surprised me. Nice funny series that unfortunately was canceled but ended without a cliffhanger. You can watch it without being left with a hangover because the story just stops.
The Devil's Hour also surprised. The first season was a neatly wrapped up story, so I wondered how they would approach a second season. They solved that quite nicely. You do have to keep your head in it to be able to follow it properly.

Choices, choices...

I haven't seen La Brea yet from these nominees. I'm still hesitating between The Rings of Power and House of the Dragon.

Renegade Nell I found very entertaining. Avatar: The Last Airbender is visually very beautiful, but this live action version can't compete with the animated series of the same name. I found the other series in this list mediocre to good, Kaos and The Devil's Hour, but not to come out as a winner in this category.

I think I was the co-writer who had been really excited about The Devil's Hour for a few years. Still am, by the way! But Renegade Nell, Agatha, and Avatar were also really fun this year.
