any fantasy or fantasy-esque show recs? Something anywhere from a:tla to arcane, with just good worldbuilding and characters (esp good female characters), where there is an overarching storyline. No preference if it's animated or live action.

Y’ALL if you're looking for a queer fantasy show to watch, I got just the thing. HBO Max just came out with a show called Teenage Kiss: The Future is Dead (B.A.: O Futuro Está Morto, in the original Portuguese). It's set in a futuristic, dystopic Brazil in which the Amazon has been replaced by an industrial park and all adults are affected by a disease called monochromatism, which turns them lifeless and gray.
In this conservative world, the rebellious youth stands out, specially a group called the Teenage Kiss. Under the guise of a fashion brand, these teens unite to speak out against the authoritarian government and fight for their individuality, each character with their unique gift, such as super-hearing or convincing people to do whatever you want.
Then, some of their members start showing up dead, killed by a mysterious entity with seemingly supernatural abilities. Our protagonist, Ariel, is dragged to the center of the plot when he's recruited by Lin Lin, who can force the truth out of anyone, and Tomás, who can enchant people with his stare — though their powers don't seem to work on him. Now, Ariel needs to discover his gift and fight against the monster that's targeting his new-found family. And also the government, because fuck the government.
The show is very interesting visually — the contrast between the gray, authoritarian society and the colorful, wild youth — which helps further the message and grab your attention. It's very easy to get attached to these characters and I can't wait to see how their stories end. If this show is cancelled Istg. Also, not a single one of them is straight, if that helps.
please watch it I want it to be renewed so bad and I need more funding for brazilian shows pls pls I swear it's good

Hey! Anybody have good fantasy show/podcast/book recommendations? Asking for a friend (all I can think to suggest is Critical Role 😂). Bonus points if it has a bard in it!

For that matter, toh fans have also got to come check out wot
milfs galore, found family, trauma and healing, deep lore that transforms the story as it unfolds, kickass soundtrack that cuts to the heart of the story, epic magic fights, parts of our world showing up in unexpected interesting ways, diverse queer rep, diverse poc rep, a varied magic system, haunting the narrative, magic systems as systems of control vs freedom...I could go on. And I probably will.
For now I'll just say, if these were things you loved in toh, you will go wild for wot.

I hope it's alright to use this as an opportunity to pitch Wheel of Time to you!
So basically,
the Dragon (the title for chosen one, basically) tried to save the world but mostly failed, and the world was destroyed. The survivors basically had to rebuild society from the Stone Age again. Now, 3000 years later, the Dragon has been reborn and its up to the Aes Sedai (basically a female wizard) Moiraine to figure out which one of these 5 plucky young villagers it is, and make sure they do better this time.
It's a race against time, since the forces of evil also know the Dragon is one of the 5 and is trying to kill all 5 before any of them can save the world.
Thank you so much for the help! I wasn't really trying to put "Wheel of Time" on blast, but I've held off on watching it because I just couldn't figure out the vibe of the show. This is very, very, helpful.
Would you say that it's...
Earnest, like Jackson's LOtR movies
Funny, like the D&D movie, or
Grim, like The Witcher
For reference, I didn't make it 3 episodes through "The Witcher," binged "Willow" before the took it off D+ and loved it a ton, made it through only a single episode of "Carnival Row," and never bothered with anything "Game of Thrones." I haven't seen enough to tell me what WoT is even about, let alone whether or not I'd like it. Same with the Rings of Power.

I am so over how absolutely distastefully sad Fantasy shows are. I just finished Carnival Row and I had hoped at least a few of my favs would make it- the Barrack, Kaine… why do fantasy shows have to be so damn gloomy and fucking dark why cant we get a little escape. Historical fictions are full of blood and war, thrillers too, and so are most drama shows these days. When will we finally get happy shows????? I AM JUST SO FUCKING TIRED OF THIS. Also I love a good queer representation, but Tourmaline and Vignette seemed a bit forced. Vignette looked to be much more in love with Philo.
