His Dark Materials was a roaring dumpster fire. The first season started really clunky but got great. The second season had really good parts and really lousy parts. Tthe third season just a head scratcher and never bothered to finish.

i also lost interest partway through season 3 and i’m normally a completionist, especially so close to the end.

As someone who didn't read the books, I really enjoyed the whole thing.

I'll have to disagree with the first place of the list. Game of thrones started as a good series and devolved into what was at the end, a shitshow in which nobody had an idea of what to do with it.

On the other hand, I'm missing one of the best fantasy series of the last years: Castlevania.

And just to add something different, Alchemy of souls. Korean productions take fantasy with an unique approach, more similar to japanese anime that makes them unique.

I thought I liked fantasy but I've only watched the first season of a couple of these and two or three of stranger things

stranger things was good but it's story telling felt too repetitive or formula forced

maybe if I was a teenager right now, the other series would appeal
