Harry Potter was a smash hit about a boy discovering he’s a wizard and going to school in a magical world full of wonder and adventure. Twilight didn’t hit quite that high a note, but the story of a teenage girl who learns her classmate is a vampire and falls in love with him did quite well. The Hunger Games popularized the dystopian genre with a bow wielding teenager stepping up to survive death games, have angsty romances, and fight the power.
As far as I can tell, nothing has quite hit that same kind of high since and it may be awhile until the next truly big wave. But if it were up to you, what would the next big thing be about?
There was a TV show on this plot that was cancelled after one season (to which I was very disappointed) that was done quite well. Can’t remember what it was called. Used to be on Netflix like 5 years ago. Very big twist at the end of the season though (like show altering twist)
Ascension. It has the Best Pilot episode ever. Even if 1 Season, I still recommend it.
Thank you! Yeah I really enjoyed it. I couldn’t believe they canceled it
It’s the Netflix way of doing things, sadly.
