Yup, Merlin's now a sexy woman in a very skimpy ensemble - works for me! Added to this, the sins themselves are a mixture of mythical and legendary figures, from the King of the Fairies (aptly named King) to Merlin herself. The central tenet, that a rogue group of knights known as The Seven Deadly Sins, went rogue and have since disappeared following an infamous massacre, lays the ground for lots of juicy revelations and plot twists. The show is set in a time before the human and mythical world's were separated, and as such we're treated to magic, giants, knights and monsters, thrown together in a pretty terrific mix of action and adventure. So to say I'm a bit late to this particular party would be an understatement. Well, if not for all the gratuitous groping and chilling slaughter.Ī Netflix Original Series, The Seven Deadly Sins is based on the manga of the same name by Nabaka Suzuki and was the second anime to be exclusively licensed by Netflix way back in 2015. I'm still not sure what exactly drew me to the series, but once invested I found myself oddly drawn to a mix of fantasy, comedy and action that I found to be rather reminiscent of Saturday morning cartoons. Oddly, The Seven Deadly Sins wasn't actually one of them, rather the result of a late night and a casual trawl through Netflix. Being stuck at home, while not that different from my usual routine when in the UK, I've found myself watching a number of series that have been on my radar for a while.
