Kingdom
Set in the Joseon era, the hit Korean zombie horror drama is back for it’s second season with amazing writing, acting, direction and cinematography. The first episode picks up right where episode 6 of season 1 ended, with Crown Prince Lee Chang and his kickass entourage efficiently dispatching zombies as they race against time to save the country from being over run, and falling into ruin.
Castlevania, Season 3
Alucard is bae, Isaac is fed up and we want better for Hector. Season 3 of the gory and highly entertaining animated show is easily the best so far with stellar writing and voice acting from the cast. As Alucard, Trevor and Sypha continue their battle to save humanity from annihilation by Dracula, viewers are given more insight into his thought process and how his alliance with Isaac and Hector – the only humans he trust – came to be.
