Witches, sorcerers, monsters, vampires - these heroes distinguish mysticism from thrillers and horrors. Mystical series have long been loved by many viewers. This is not surprising. Foreign mystical series are especially popular. The list of the best can be continued indefinitely, but among them there are those that simply cannot be ignored.
"The beauty and the Beast"
The list titled "The Best Mystical TV Series" is led by the Beauty and the Beast project. A rather old and famous fairy tale received another interpretation. This time it is an adult series. The plot is built in such a way that the whole story seems real. This is like a story from past centuries. The series also has a place for romanistic feelings that erupt between the main characters.
In the story, a young monster saved a young girl when bandits attacked her and her mother. Many years later, the girl begins to work in the local police as a detective and simultaneously tries to find her savior. And once a miracle happens. They meet. The hero renders a mutilated soldier by genetic experiments. Not everything is so cloudless.
Heroes are torn apart and deprived of the memory of a mutilated soldier. When meeting, he does not recognize his beloved. After a long struggle, he recalls his beloved and together they begin to fight against those who create an army of genetic mutants.
"Game of Thrones"
In the list of "Best American Mystical TV Series" was "Game of Thrones." The creators of the project thought out the plot in such a way that each series is an intrigue and riddles. Here everyone is trying to take the throne of the Seven Kingdoms for himself. A particularly fierce struggle takes place among seven noble families. This series became mystical thanks to the White Walkers. They live far beyond the Wall and are able to resurrect the dead.
It is noteworthy that the directors' wife was initially against the filming of the series and believed that he would fail. However, the opposite happened. The popularity of the series contributed to the appearance of rumors that the audience is waiting for more than seven seasons. There will be many more. According to fans, the creators of the project plan to extend it to 10 seasons. If they really remove the sequel, then this will only please fans of the saga.
"The Vampire Diaries"
The movie “The Vampire Diaries” also appeared on the list titled “Mystical and Fantastic Series”. The eternal love triangle has found a peculiar reflection in this series. The main characters are an ordinary schoolgirl and her two friends. The brothers are vampires. One of them, according to the law of the “good” genre, does not kill people, the second is “bad”, it eats exclusively human blood. Such a love triangle is used as a plot by Russian films, and not just foreign mystical series. The list of the best projects in this genre is continued by The Vampire Diaries.
The popularity of the series played into the hands of representatives of the American Red Cross. They used a specific slogan to attract blood donors. “Starve the vampire. Give blood! ” That is how their slogan sounded. Each donor received exclusive promotional material from his favorite series as a souvenir.
This project has a spin-off, which also tells about the life of vampires. The series "Ancient" reveals the struggle of the original vampires among themselves for power and success. Their story is no less fascinating and exciting than the story of young modern vampires.
"Once upon a time, in a Fairytail"
Perhaps the kindest and most magical project, which was on the list of the fifteen best mystical series. Adam Horrowitz and Edward Kitsis created a fascinating story, the plot of which covers two worlds at once - the real and the fabulous.
At the very beginning of the series, everything seems clear and can be explained logically: you can immediately determine who the villain is and who the hero is. But from season to season, the characters of the heroes are revealed and it becomes clear that the brave ones have shortcomings, and villains can become better.
Riddle and mystery are what distinguishes between ordinary and mystical series. All the best series keep intrigue until the last series. And the final series of the season turns around the beginning of a new one. “Once Upon a Time” is no exception. If the Evil Queen wanted revenge in the first season, then her kind nature is revealed from series to series, and her sensitive mother’s heart does not crave retribution, but to protect her child. Emma and Regina, who in the first two seasons were at enmity because of love for Henry, later became friends. Emma, Henry’s biological mother, accepted the love and care of the boy’s adoptive mother, Regina.
In this series, you can see Snow White with the Prince Charming, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood. The authors also included Disney Elsa and Anna, who, according to the scenario, are the nieces of the Snow Queen. Heroes find themselves tied in kinship with villains. The authors have a very original vision of fairy tales. They in this series tried to reveal the reasons for the behavior of many heroes known from childhood to each. Multifaceted characters, mystery and unexpected twists of fate - all this makes the series interesting for viewers of all ages.
"Moonlight"
Foreign mystical series are especially popular among Russian youth. The list of the best continues the movie "Moonlight". The series tells about the love of a vampire and an ordinary girl. Their feelings are met with many obstacles in the form of a beloved young beauty and the ex-wife of a vampire.
The confrontation between the vampire Mick and his wife began many years ago. He is sure that he killed her and saved a little girl, which, after a while, he fell in love with. But the circumstances turned so that the wife survived and was trying to return her negligent lover. Mik has a difficult choice to make.
The best mystical series rarely lead a first-person story. This is especially true for the first series. “Moonlight” decided to destroy some canons: the series begins with an interview with the protagonist, which breaks the audience’s initial ideas about vampires.
Initially, the creators called the series "Twilight", but the publication of the novel by Stephanie Meyer made adjustments. In order to avoid confusion, the authors had to change the name to “Moonlight”.
History of Van Helsing
The irreconcilable struggle between good and evil distinguishes not only mystical series. The list of multi-series projects shot in the mystical genre is continued by Grimm and Demons / Last Van Helsing. People are powerless against magic and witchcraft. They need someone who could protect them and protect them from otherworldly strength. In both series, the main character finds out that he is the last descendant of hunters who are fighting evil for the pure souls of people.
The series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Supernatural” can be attributed to the same category of projects. In "Buffy" a young American schoolgirl, who has incredible powers, fights for the souls of people. Two brothers are searching for the missing demon hunter father in the TV series Supernatural.
"Secret materials"
Poltergeist, ghosts, aliens also do not stand aside. Without them, mystical TV shows also do. The list goes on with The X-Files. The plot revolves around agent Fox Mulder and his pretty partner Dana Scully. Each new series is a different story. But throughout the series, the main thread of the plot remains.
Even in the pilot series, the story was told that Agent Fox had lost his sister Samantha in childhood. Having become a special agent of the FBI, Fox Mulder does not forget about his main mission - to find out where his sister is.
Battle of the immortals
"Sleepy Hollow" and "Highlander" tell the story of the immortals, who have been fighting among themselves for more than a century. These two projects are the best mystical series of similar subjects.
"Sleepy Hollow" tells of a horseman who, in the distant past, was chopped off his head in the war. Having risen from the dead, he begins to kill people. Another rebel from the dead is fighting against him - the same man who, several centuries ago, chopped off the head of a rider.
The story of the Highlander is a little different. This series was shot as a continuation of the full-length film of the same name, telling about the fate of Duncan MacLeod - the immortal who fights against the adherents of evil. In the series, we are talking about a descendant of Duncan. He, just like his ancestor, is waging an implacable war with the immortals who have sided with evil.
Witches
Witches, sorceresses, sorceresses are the female half of evil spirits. Without their participation, it is impossible to imagine mystical series abroad. “List of the best”, “Novelties of mystical cinema” - these are all categories, which include projects about beautiful witches.
The whole plot in these films spins around witches. In The Witches of the East End, the main character, trying to protect her daughters, educates them like ordinary girls. For some time now, girls do not even suspect that they have some abilities. But magic cannot be hidden, and it finds a way out.
