It was just two weeks ago or so that I shared the full Official Trailer for the Netflix Original Series “The Dark Crystal: Age Of Resistance” over on my PiercingMetal website and if you missed that clip just click HERE since its going to be helpful if you plan in delving into the show. The series is now available for streaming in full on the Netflix service so make sure you have signed up or made amends with that brother, sister, cousin or ex so you don’t miss out. I’ve included the Official Poster and the MASSIVE voice and puppeteer casting once more as well. Enjoy.
The Synopsis: As the Gelfling race on the planet Thra become aware of the fact that their customarily worshiped overlords, the Skeksis, are exploitative, taxing essence-suckers who are destroying their world, three Gelflings — Rian, Brea and Deet — inspire a rebellion after discovering a horrifying secret behind the Skeksis’ power that threatens their entire planet.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: Sadly I never managed to see the original film once more before taking a look at this one so that is going to keep me from being an early binge-watcher. I did enjoy those trailers thoroughly and feel that the series will be to my liking. I think somewhere in the Great Beyond, the spirit of the late great Jim Henson must be smiling at the notion that his creations are returning so many years after their introduction in 1982. He was truly a genius at such things and with that being said I wonder if you plan on binge-watching this series or are you taking a pass. Chime in down below in the comments section when you have a moment.
