The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance has been acclaimed for its high-quality animation and storytelling, often being overlooked due to its perceived target audience of children. The discussion references other similarly nuanced shows like Yonderland, which blend plots and humor that resonate with both children and adult viewers. The show has garnered a loyal fanbase who appreciate its depth, characters like the Chamberlain, and strong performances, particularly from actors like Lena Headey. However, there is collective disappointment over its cancellation by Netflix, suggesting a demand for deeper, narrative-rich animated content.
