What to Know

Critics Consensus

Expansive in scope while hurtling towards the endgame at a rollicking pace, Arcane's second and final season is a supremely satisfying capper to an epic saga.

In true Arcane form, the visuals literally paint a sad but gorgeous image of Jinx feeling unmoored without someone to follow. Go to Full Review

They really hit the ground running, and at the end of the first episode, I knew this season wasn’t going to let up. Go to Full Review

"Arcane" continues to be the most visually stunning and dense series on television today, demonstrating why animation remains the most daring medium for creatives to convey a potent narrative. One can only hope for more stories from this vast universe. Go to Full Review

8.5/10
Storytelling cannot be perfectly even all the time, but in [the] quest to make sure that Arcane concluded in a true ending, many of the characters we loved fell to the wayside, and the thematic importance they carried fell with them. Go to Full Review

Once again, Arcane proves its worth as a spectacle and one of the more impactful animated show of our time, even if it can't quite capture the magic of season one. Go to Full Review

Normal P @Bubbydib 3d Harshest review possible just because of how much it fell off. Season 1 was the most perfect show I have ever watched. This? I don't even recognize this. It's not the same thing. It disappointed more than any other piece of media has. It genuinely upsets me. I don't consider it the same show as season 1. See more Priyansh C @Priyansh 4d It was stunning and cinematic i loved arcane except some pacing issues but we got more than enough , its a must watch show See more Heebie J @hebzzz Jan 14 I wish that it lived up to season one but that is quite a lot to reach the standards of. The animation was awesome but some characters got absolutely butchered development wise. I really wanted to like it but the amount of plot holes really just baffled me. But i would definitely reccomend it, because when it hit it HIT. See more Marnie @Cerybomb667 Jan 12 Arcane season 1 was such a beautiful and well crafted first season, in terms of writing, music and art style. Which was something i never expected and thought id hate or find mediocre but was gladly surprised, however with season 2 it was everything i thought season 1 would be like and was quite disappointed with. Not only did the main characters Jinx and Vi got sidelined in their own show, a lot of characters were ruined or changed completely or just used as plot devices. Like Vi becoming an enforcer, Isha dying just for plot, vander coming to life to only die again, Jinx becoming a savoir and suddenly being forgiven for her crimes, Caitlyn becomes a dictator and terrorizes the undercity with the gas chambers along with other things, Viktor's story this season was overall terrible and added nothing to his character other than being another plot device. But overall this season forgot about its main characters and what the story was actually about, the sisters. (Ekkos perfect) See more Lambie_Forever @The_OneOfDarkness17 Jan 12 Arcane was amazing, perfect even! The series was well produced, the characters were REALLY well-written, the music was brilliant and the plot for season 1 exceeded any of my expectations for this show! Everything to the dialogue down to the visual graphics was just so well done! With season 2 I was rather confused about a few things. The season seemed a little fast paced in my opinion and too much stuff/lore was shoved into only one season. I also felt like some of the characters (HOT TAKE) were kind of.. mischaracterized..? Examples: Vi becoming an enforcer (knowing her background and past) Caitlyn becomes a full on dictator and a bit of an asshole (especially towards Vi like wtf-) and I feel like the series forgets the crimes that Jinx committed in the undercity and is seen as some "liberator" for Zaun which I find is hella confusing. I saw Isha as more of a plot device for Jinx and then Vander is brought back only to die again. It was a little disappointing but season 1 was PEAK. See more Erwin v @criticaall Jan 5 An amazing watch, but it gets somewhat carried by the amazing foundation that season 1. If taken in isolation, it has quite some flaws, but also a lot of amazing scenes. I'm going to look at this series only from a plot perspective. The plot overall was quite good, but with the emotional depth they were going for, you can't rush things or force them. Jinx and Vi reconsiling so soon was unrealistic. Viktor becoming so soon a monster was unrealistic Mel geting taken away for plot reasons was forced. Which would have been fine if here storyline made sense, but it was boring. A waste of an amazing character. The finaly was a disaster, everything before that was quite amazing. Ambessa helping viktor, the monster who would kill everyone, is unrealistic. She is very smart and would never give someone else control. Also she is very one dimentional while she was hinted at to be two dimentional, just not to do anything with it. Other than that, very exciting, amazing, beautiful! See more Read all reviews
