tldr: Season 1 was a masterpiece and hard to beat. Season 2 was good in its own way and I had a good time with it. The difference is that S2 didn't catch me as emotionally as S1.

Part 1 and the first 3 episodes were nice. Sadly, the music was a shitty choice. For me, the music destroyed a lot of the atmosphere. Not their best choice.

Part 2 was excellent. The music was way better and the end of episode 2 and 3 hit hard in the guts. These 3 episodes the nearest to Season 1. 👌

Part 3 started with an alternate future, which was an enjoyable idea and a good episode. But at this time, I wanted the show to proceed with the main story. 😅 The end was well-made and a perfect fit for all characters.

Now, that story of Vi and Powder has ended. They and all characters have a fitting end. I'm eagerly awaiting to see more of this world, in a following series. And I'm curious how they try to make the next show. Both Season were visually impressive. There were other shows that tried to imitate it, but they lacked the love for details. Funny thing, despite Arcane being overall the best show I watched in a long time, it was not triggering the desire to play the game League of Legends. I'm not too savvy with the game and the surrounding lore, so I'm happy they didn't something where you can enjoy the lore without playing the game.

I love every aspect of the series. It can be funny as hell but also can punch you in the stomach. Like Scrubs in the US-Politics.

They started to change the storyline in Season 6, which makes sense at this point. I didn't like the turn so much, but I got used to it.

There is one thing I didn't like from the start. How the Veep Selina is treating her daughter. I know it fits into the tone of the character, but after some “jokes” it was too much for me and an annoying part of the series. As I said, it fits to the tone and the story of the character but, sometime, less is more.

But what was the best part of the show? Clearly Gary and Mike. These characters were sooo goofy, I always laughed out loud when said did something funny. Moreover, the background stuff that was going on. Occasionally, I wasn't following the main story because some characters did something in the background. I wonder how much of the jokes were improvised.

One character that also stood out was Jonah. I liked how he was a self-destructed fool with pure luck. Sadly, the luck was more to keep him in the series. Later in the series, I did not like what he represented, but most of his scenes were also funny. And a bonus point for him, he is a metal guy in the series. 🤘

I can recommend this series to everyone. And I also want to watch it again, someday. :)
