What's on Netflix This Week: Shadow and Bone, ...Shadow and Bone, Season 1You know you need another young adult fantasy series in your life, but unlike most of the others, this one is actually pretty good. Based on Leigh Bardugo's dueling Grishaverse novel series,
Shadow and Bone and
Six of Crows, the big-budget series follows a young woman who discovers she's in possession of a power that can save the kingdom, natch. The tone is somewhere between
Game of Thrones and something you'd find on Freeform, with a dark color scheme and violence mixing it up with love triangles. If you liked
The Witcher but could do without the occasional silliness of that show, you'll probably like this. Fair warning: the world-building of the first two episodes can get a little tedious, but it gets better after that.
