GOOD SHOW ON NETFLIX UPDATE

It’s a few years old at this point, but Netflix’s update of the classic 1960s sci-fi show is one of the rarest entries on the service now-a genre show that the streamer can’t cancel after one season, because it’s already completed its three-season run. Just remember, the key word in the title is “bizarre”! Honestly, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is nonsense at times-but such hyper-stylish nonsense that you’ll easily be swept up in the madness.

The decision to focus each season on a different era also makes for a surprisingly digestible viewing experience, despite the scope. Original creator Hirohiko Araki drew influence from Western rock music and high fashion, combining these with exaggerated physiques and hyperkinetic action to make this anime adaptation visually and tonally unique. Luckily, each generation of the Joestar family has a champion (each with a name that can be trimmed to JoJo) to rise to the challenge, mastering arcane abilities of their own-notably summoning ghostly giants known as Stands-to combat Dio and a host of other supernatural threats across the ages. This is no mere tale of warring clans, though, as Dio’s dabbling with dark forces sees him returning over the eras to plague Jonathan’s decendants anew.

In Victorian England, Jonathan Joestar clashes with his deranged adoptive brother, Dio Brando, starting a centuries-long feud that will sweep the globe.
