The Witcher

Netflix • Oct 30 • 2019

DramaAction

Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.

Strongest Match

Devil May Cry fans get the same grim monster-hunting energy, with a solitary fighter taking brutal jobs and making ugly choices while the world stays hostile. The Witcher leans harder into moral weariness and grounded violence, trading flashy demon-slaying swagger for colder, more solitary survival pressure.

The Legend of Vox Machina

Prime Video • Jun 3 • 2022

AnimationComedy

They're rowdy, they're ragtag, they're misfits turned mercenaries for hire. Vox Machina is more interested in easy money and cheap ale than actually protecting the realm. But when the kingdom is threatened by evil, this boisterous crew realizes that they are the only ones capable of restoring justice. What began as a simple payday is now the origin story behind Exandria's newest heroes.

Why This Pick

Devil May Cry’s appeal for irreverent fantasy action carries over into Vox Machina, where demons and dragons get handled with loud misfit banter and fast, punchy fights. The Legend of Vox Machina keeps the danger moving scene to scene, but it’s comedy-first, so the laughs stay on even when the stakes spike.

Wednesday

Netflix • Aug 6 • 2022

Sci-Fi & FantasyMystery

Follows Wednesday Addams' years as a student, when she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a killing spree, and solve the mystery that embroiled her parents.

Why This Pick

Devil May Cry’s supernatural creature-feature vibe fits Wednesday’s deadpan sleuthing, where every episode brings new monsters and sharp, dry humor under a haunted-school roof. Wednesday swaps nonstop demon-hunter set pieces for mystery puzzles and social friction, keeping the same dark edge but making the tension feel more investigative and claustrophobic.
