When ordinary teenager Jim Lake Jr. stumbles upon a mystical amulet on his way to school one morning, he inadvertently discovers an extraordinary secret civilization of mighty trolls beneath his small town of Arcadia. Suddenly destined to play a crucial role in an ancient battle of good and evil, Jim is determined to save the world, right after gym class. A must-see original series for the entire family.
Although this animated series treads some of the same ground as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (high school student with single mom is forced into role of legendary fighter of monsters who can only come out in darkness), it still manages to feel fresh, while also being funny, exciting, and heartstring-tugging. I love it!
My entire family is hooked and can't stop watching. We finished season one in about 3 days. The creators of this series are genius, creating every 20-30 min episode with a small cliff hanger leaving you wanting to watch the next one. The last episode has the greatest cliffhanger of them all. Can't wait for season 2.
