5 Animated Series on Netflix not to be missed in 2024

In recent years, Netflix has greatly expanded its content library, becoming a streaming platform with a wide selection of TV series, movies, and original productions. While many people are familiar with the most popular titles, there are some animated series that deserve attention but often go unnoticed. Here are five underrated Netflix animated series that you should definitely watch in 2024. From the fantasy of “Hilda” to the Filipino noir of “Trese,” these series offer engaging and unique stories worth discovering.

Hilda (2018)

Based on the hit graphic novel by Luke Pearson, “Hilda” is an animated series that follows the adventures of young Hilda, a blue-haired girl who moves with her mother to the town of Trolberg. Despite her initial worries, Hilda soon finds herself involved in new adventures and befriends magical creatures and spirits she would never have met otherwise.

The series, which has three seasons, is charming and moving. With a simple but wonderful art style that perfectly reflects its fantastical story, “Hilda” is a must-see series for animation lovers looking for new artistic and unique titles.

Love, Death, & Robots (2019)

Created by “Deadpool” director Tim Miller and produced by David Fincher, “Love, Death, & Robots” is one of the most underrated anthology series in recent years. Since its debut in 2019, this Netflix original series has presented memorable TV episodes, each with a unique and surprising animation style.

Not every episode of “Love, Death, & Robots” is bound to make a mark, but the series is always creative and innovative. Even the less successful chapters are still interesting, and the better ones will leave you wanting to see more. Although some time has passed since its debut, “Love, Death, & Robots” deserves more attention and a wider audience.

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts (2020)

Set in a post-apocalyptic version of Los Angeles, “Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts” follows the adventures of Kipo, a young human girl from an underground community. After being separated from her family and finding herself alone on the surface, Kipo finds herself embroiled in a dangerous conflict that forces her to discover her courage and heroism.

With its surprisingly colorful and psychedelic animation and a cast of likeable characters, “Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts” is a three-season Netflix animated series worth watching. It is funny, exciting, and manages to excellently balance the focus on the characters and the action-packed adventures they are involved in.

Trese (2021)

“Trese” is one of Netflix’s hidden gems in terms of animated series. Inspired by a Filipino comic book series, the series follows the story of Alexandra Trese, a healer and warrior who protects the citizens of Manila from supernatural creatures that constantly threaten the city.

With a strong atmosphere and noir imagery, “Trese” offers an immersive and unique experience. Despite having some familiar elements, the series stands out for its originality and how it skillfully combines the modern world with ancient threats that lurk beneath the surface.

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners (2022)

“Cyberpunk: Edgerunners” might seem like just an expensive marketing product for CD Projekt Red’s “Cyberpunk 2077” video game, but it is much more than that. It is a visually stunning and immersive TV series that deserves to be seen. Set in the futuristic world of “Cyberpunk 2077,” the series follows the adventures of David, an intelligent and promising young man who decides to become a high-level black market mercenary known as an “edgerunner.”

The series offers a good dose of action, but what makes it really interesting is the way it balances spectacular action moments with character development and world building. Those who have seen the series know how good it is, but it deserves a much wider audience than it has received so far.
