This fall season is proving to have a colourful roster of worthwhile content, and with the chill in the air nearly upon us, you’re going to need a good blanket and something to watch. Here are some of the top picks you can enjoy across popular streaming platforms.
Lord of the Rings – Rings of Power, Amazon Prime This series is set thousands of years before the original events of J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and is based on the history of Middle-earth. The series starts at a time of relative peace and covers all of the major events of Middle-earth’s Second Age: the forging of the Rings of Power, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the fall of the island kingdom of Númenor, and the last alliance between Elves and Men. These events take place over thousands of years in J. R. R. Tolkien’s original stories but have been condensed down for the series. See, Apple TV+ During the 21st century, a virus has wiped out the majority of humanity. Fewer than two million people have survived, and both they and their descendants have lost the ability to see. See takes place several centuries later, when society has adapted and found new ways to socially interact, build, hunt, and survive without their sight. The concept of vision has become a myth, and any mention of it is considered heresy. In the mountains, a pregnant woman named Maghra seeks shelter with the Alkenny tribe. The chief of said tribe, Baba Voss, was unable to father his own children, choosing to marry Maghra and care for her children. However, the children’s biological father, a man named Jerlamarel, is wanted by the Queen of the Payan kingdom for the heresy of being “sighted” (being able to see). The word spreads of Jerlamarel siring children, prompting a hunt for the man and his offspring. Baba Voss subsequently must protect his family and tribe against the Queen’s army. House of the Dragon, HBO Adapted from George R. R. Martin’s Targaryen history book Fire and Blood, House of the Dragon is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones. The show focuses on the infamous event in Westeros history referred to as the Dance of the Dragons. This is a civil war that took place between the siblings Aegon II and Rhaenyra regarding who would take the throne after the death of their father Viserys I. The war would pit all of Westeros against itself, with other houses such as the Starks and Lannisters joining each side. Many of House Targaryen’s powerful dragons would perish, and soon after, would go extinct until Daenerys Targaryen would hatch three eggs hundreds of years later. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Amazon Prime The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina takes place in the fictional town of Greendale. The series is a dark, coming-of-age story that plays on the themes of horror, fear, and the art of witchcraft. Sabrina Spellman, a young teen girl, has to reconcile her dual nature as a half-witch, and half-mortal, all while fighting the evil forces that threaten her, her family, and the world of humans.
