Arcane

Netflix's animated series set in the League of Legends universe is not just the greatest animated series of the 2020s — it may be the greatest animated series ever made for adults. The story of sisters Vi and Jinx across the class-divided cities of Piltover and the Undercity is told with painterly visual artistry (Fortiche studio), rich characterization, and devastating emotional honesty. The fact that it's based on a video game is almost incidental.
