New Netflix series ranks # 1 in over 30 countries

After Squid Game, a new Netflix series is on the rise with streaming providers. And maybe you should give this show a chance even if you don’t know the background material.

The new Netflix series Arcane conquered the leaderboards of the streaming service, and in the opinion of our editor Daniel, you should see them even if you are not a League of Legends fan. What does the Moba LoL have to do with it? Pretty much anything, as Arcane tells the backstories of some of the video game’s most iconic heroes.

Stream Arcane on Netflix now.

Granted, video game adaptations are rarely good, and even more rarely are they recommended for those who aren’t even familiar with the game. Arcane is an exception – the animated fantasy series has on IMDB a rating of 9.4 / 10which is impressive. In addition, this rating is not only due to the LoL fans: Many write in their comments that they have no idea about the game and are still impressed by the series.
