Netflix's Voltron: 5 Reasons It's The Best Animated TV Series Of 2016

5. The Twists And Turns Will Keep You Engaged

The writers should give themselves a pat on the back for delivering such a dramatic and mature take on the eighties franchise, especially with the developments on the characters as they have to take responsibility to protect the galaxy. What was surprising, though, was how well done the twists were, and how they gave the show some brilliant dramatic scenes.

Firstly, our main characters meet after uncovering a crashed spaceship that contained Shiro, an escapee from the dominating Galra Empire. Suffering from amnesia, we see Shiro's memories slowly coming back to him and it's eventually revealed that he was the leader of a small team of explorers with no idea where they could be. But while he takes responsibility as the leader of this newly-formed group, his returning memories add tension as we constantly question his true intentions.

What makes twists and turns like this one intriguing is that they are all linked to the Galra Empire. This menacing and massive force remains a mystery in terms of how they managed to dominate the galaxy and in a series with strong sci-fi elements, their power turns out to be dark magic and brings in a surprising twist to what viewers might not have expected. From our heroes to the victims they assist to entire planets, the threat towards the galaxy and their seemingly impossible defeat keep our heroes and the audience constantly guessing to what they could do next.

But while these twists are just as effective as the biggest dramas on Netflix, the very last episode has the biggest one of all, and is guaranteed to leave you stunned and excited for season two.
