Powerful dragons, evil spirits, and ancient legends.

Sweet Tooth recently finished its third season — it was a cozy and charming journey through post-apocalyptic lands.

Fantasy allows you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of magic, where the main characters fight monsters, explore unknown lands and fight for truth and freedom. If you have finished watching Sweet Tooth and are looking for a new series, then this list is for you.

1. Cursed, 2020

Cursed is an adaptation of the graphic novel by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler, which tells the story of King Arthur with an unexpected twist: Excalibur chooses a young girl, Nimue, instead of Arthur.

She has been an outcast in her home village for her connection to dark magic, and after the bloody massacre in which the Red Paladins destroyed her homeland, she has been left alone forever. With the help of the wizard Merlin, the mercenary Arthur and a magic sword, the heroine becomes a symbol of liberation and tries to take revenge on King Uther for the death of her mother.

3. Lockwood & Co., 2023

In England there has been The Problem for many years — ghosts have come into the world of people. Only children and teenagers can fight them, because they are more sensitive. Lucy Carlyle leaves the school for ghost hunters in her town to get away from her evil mother and mean teachers.

When Lucy arrives in London, she tries to get a job at an agency that fights otherworldly forces, but she is not hired because of her lack of education. The only ones who accept her are teenagers Anthony Lockwood and George Karim.

The story about Lockwood and his friends is fascinating mainly because of the English atmosphere. The creator does not specify the years in which the events take place — the characters use telephones, but at the same time they fight with swords. This timelessness and mixture of modernity and Victorianism gives the show its special charm.

4. Castlevania, 2017-2021

The vampire could have been opposed by the Belmont clan, who are skilled in fighting evil spirits. But the Belmonts are excommunicated from the Church, dispossessed of their lands, and nearly exterminated. But when the last of the Belmonts, Trevor, realizes that everyone in the land is in danger of dying, he takes up his sword and begins to slay monsters once again.

5. The Irregulars, 2021

The plot revolves around a group of teenagers from London in the late 19th century. They have already been to a workhouse, where children are forced to live in squalid conditions and work at the same level as adults, and once released, they do odd jobs for pennies.

The unofficial leader of the group is Bea, to whom Dr. John Watson comes with an offer of cooperation. Watson asks the teens to investigate supernatural crimes in London, while Sherlock Holmes has retired for unknown reasons.

The series is inspired by the most popular stories of Victorian England: Frankenstein 's monster, sirens luring men, spiritualistic sessions, and even a typical murder mystery where you have to find the killer among the guests of a large mansion.

Dragon Knight Davion dares to fight the ancient dragon. On the verge of death, Davion is "saved" by the barely alive dragon Slyrak. He mixes his blood with the knight's, giving Davion a chance to survive. For the monster himself, this is also an attempt to survive — it turns out that the souls of ancient dragons are hunted, so Slyrak can think of nothing better than to take up residence in the body of an ordinary human.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the woods, the moon princess Mirana is on the run, trying to find the magic lotuses stolen by the elves and belonging to the new moon goddess Selemene.

Dragon's Blood is based on Dota 2, but those who have never played the game should not dismiss this option — you can watch the show even if you are not familiar with the lore of the original source.
