Blog N°4  Your favorite series, show, or movie

The TV show I will be writing about is called 'Arcane'. It is an adaptation of an online game

called League of Legends. The show took 6 years of production and after a lot of hard work

it finally came to surprise not only League of Legends fans but also common media

consumers, film enjoyers and generally just average people.

The plot is about two sisters that are born in an undercity that lives in the shadow of the

'topside' city, which is the city of progress and everyone there lives a very privileged life while

in the undercity people die of hunger, intoxication and abuse from the mafia that rules the

undercity. It also portrays how it is to experience police brutality and how 'topsiders' keep

themselves willingly ignorant to the precarious conditions that the undercity citizens have to

suffer.

The first time I watched it was on its release date on November 6th, 2021, I was very excited

because not long ago I was just getting introduced to the online game and I was already

familiar with the majority of characters.

I watched half the show alone and the other half with friends. We all enjoyed it very much. I

enjoyed it so much that I just couldn't stop watching it over and over again and fixating on

the tiniest details.

Arcane is my favorite animated series because it makes me feel so represented as a person

that is part of a community that is systematically oppressed. Every single character

represents the product of what society makes to people under extreme conditions.
