The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance is an American dark fantasy/adventure television series produced by Netflix and The Jim Henson Company.
The series is a prequel to the 1982 Jim Henson film The Dark Crystal that explores the world of Thra created for the original film.
First the good things:
The show looks great, there is a richness and scale of the production mainly as a result of the miniatures, costumes and characters.
And it’s a decent story, it has all the elements of an epic fantasy. There are princesses, multiple cultures and many creatures, some possessing magical abilities.
The main protagonists are Gelflings:

and Skeksis:

As it’s a prequel to the movie, it suffers from a predetermined end point. Somehow, drama and conflict needs to be created to motivate the characters and provide a story. To a large extent this is done, while the main conflict is between the Sheksis and Gelflings, there are conflicts within both groups that provide drama.
Unfortunately this all leads to a rather weak ending. While there is a large battle that is done well, it does feel a bit quick and lacking.
The other main problem is the decision to do things the same way as the 1982 film. This does give the film a consistent look. However it does limit the movement of the Gelflings, as these are hand held puppets.
They did an animated test, and it does show that an animated character has more scope visually, it can be portrayed as a full body. It also moves more fluidly and there is more scope for facial movement.
