I saw Wendy and Toby Froud in November at Faeriecon East and they were very excited with all the work building towards this. They couldn't reveal any details, but you tell.

With luck they will be able to appear there again this year to give behind the scenes information.

Premiered today and it looks beautiful. The first episode is a lot of exposition, but damn, the look of this show is unlike anything else I've seen Netflix do... and the storytelling sucked me in right away.

This is truly beautiful show.. the best way I can describe it is: Game of Thrones for young adults.. and the mystical elements give a lot of societal winks/nods without being heavy handed.

Only 3 episodes in.. really enjoying this.

This is top of my list to watch starting tomorrow afternoon. I'm hoping it's as good as most are making it out to be.

Yeah, I'm loving this so far.

Pegg is killing it as the Chamberlain. And, holy shit, the Peeper Beetle-scene.

First episode, clunky exposition, but gradually improved and looking forward to rest of it now.

Just finished watching this. I saw the movie during its original 1982 run and have always been a fan.

To me, DCAOR wonderfully captures the spirit and 'essence' of the film. If you liked it i would find it hard to believe you won't like this. All 10 episodes are excellent.

I couldn't get through the first episode because of the overly dense exposition that bored me. But holy shit, the cast list is bananas. It's like 50% of Hollywood is in this show.
