These 8 Fantasy TV Masterpieces Have Defined the Last 25 Years

The conversation around fantasy TV masterpieces is rarely tidy. People bring different classics to the table, and disagreement is almost guaranteed; these lists are meant to spark debate rather than settle it. We dive into the dragon fire to pick shows that have defined the genre over the past two decades, ranging from anime epics to network dramas.

Attack on Titan stands out as a modern fantasy masterpiece: a dystopian world where humanity hides behind giant walls from Titans, with intricate plots, foreshadowing, animation and music that create an epic feel. Arcane pushed the envelope with gifted storytelling and jaw-dropping visuals, following two sisters from a rundown city caught in a conflict with a rich utopian paradise over arcane technologies.

Game of Thrones reached fantasy TV's peak in its early seasons, thanks to iconic characters, quotable dialogue, strong effects and dragons. Supernatural offered a grittier, lived-in take on fantasy horror as two brothers hunted demons and upended religious expectations.
