#THE DRAUGEN HILDA FREE#
This is a great episode as we see different groups working together to keep Trolberg noise free from the bells. plan and carry out a heist to take the system out before it is rolled out. In episode 6, The Old Bells of Trolberg, when an automated systems which rings the bell on the hour every hour is installed by the Safety Patrol it wreaks havoc on the lives of everyone in and surrounding Trolberg. However, is she hiding a deep secret? This is an emotive episode that looks at how we can do bad things, even when our intentions are good it's the whole 'hubris of man' thing. When the team meet her -living off grid in windmill surrounded by woodland creatures- they are suspicious of her but soon she wins then over. The Windmill, which is episode 5, sees the return of meteorologist Victoria Van Gale. This is quite a gruesome episode as heads and limbs are lopped off, but it's all quite comedic as David learns the value of accepting who he is. There are sweet moments like when a pupil meets her teacher and realises that she didn't disappoint her but achieved her best.Įpisode 4, The Eternal Warriors, has Hilda, Frida and David explore the wilderness with the Sparrow Scouts but when David is scared of ghost stories he meets Warriors who can grant him immunity from fear.
#THE DRAUGEN HILDA FULL#
It's fun and full of awesome moments, and features trials much like the ones The Goonies faced but more kid friendly and with less problematic slurs. The third episode, The Witch, sees Hilda and best friend Frida help the librarian retrieve an overdue library book from a scarily private and accomplished witch.
This is quite scary as you see the ghosts of dead sailors seeking to wreak havoc but the ending is quite sweet and emotional. This includes meeting pirate ghosts (the Draugen) and making a deal with the Rat King, but to no avail. In episode 2, The Draugen, Hilda goes through different adventures to ascertain who Ahlberg is and what his endgame is. This is a great start as it sets up an antagonist for the duration of the show. In Episode 1, The Stone Circle, we are introduced to Erik Ahlberg who is the self-appointed Trolberg Safety Patrol Inspector and is a vain glorious man, seeking fame and fortune at any cost, even if it means ruling up the trolls who are wandering closer to the city walls. The individual episodes and my thoughts are below, but be aware, there be mild spoilers: He is a great foil for our heroine over the course of the show, which has this through-line. It deepens the relationships between Hilda and the citizens of her world as they try to navigate the threat posed by Ahlberg, a narcissistic figure who seeks to destroy the trolls and ascend to some form of power. Fear not however as these original tales are excellent and continue the good work done in the previous season.
#THE DRAUGEN HILDA SERIES#
With season 2, Netflix have kicked things up a gear as we have lots of new stories which diverge from the comic series as most of this had been covered in the previous season. I loved the original series and felt that the weirdness and slight tinge of unease was reminiscent of Over The Garden Wall, Gravity Falls and Scrooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated.
There were elves, stone giants, a Thunderbird and even a nightmare inducing teen thrown into the mix and it all ended up making sense as the world with a tapestry of story and character with its world-building logic. It was here that the main thrust of the series pushed forward with each episode being an amazing and whimsical adventure. She began to understand the beauty that can exist in the city and developed friendships through the Sparrow Scouts group she joined. Here, Hilda adapted to life in an urban setting, meeting new people and the complexities that brought. When their home is destroyed Hilda and her mother left their cabin and moved to the city of Trolberg. It is in this landscape that Hilda went on her first few adventures filled with magical creatures and magical worlds that co-exist alongside hers/ours. In season 1, protagonist Hilda lived with her mother in a cabin near the woods and mountains, away from people.
