3. 'DuckTales', 2017-2021

IMDb Score: 8.3/10

Unlike the beloved classic show, the reboot is a well-thought-out series, not just a collection of unrelated episodes. Each episode is a standalone story that is also part of a larger puzzle – the ducklings try to figure out where their mother has disappeared to and what the Spear of Selene has to do with it.

The characters are all well-developed, and Scrooge's nephews – Dewey, Louie, and Huey – are distinguished by more than just the color of their clothes.

The updated Webby is no longer just a cute girl in pink – she's a true heroine and an adventurer who knows how to stand up for herself.

2. 'Hilda', 2018-2023

IMDb Score: 8.6/10

Hilda's mother moves her to the ordinary Scandinavian town of Trolberg. Accustomed to interacting with magical forest creatures, Hilda must now learn to build relationships with people – but, of course, magic and mystery are still involved.

With its cool tones and Scandinavian fairy tale atmosphere, Hilda is perfect for fall evenings.

The story is cozy and warm, but a couple of episodes are truly frightening. For example, there's an episode about marra, night demons that create nightmares.

1. 'Over the Garden Wall', 2014

IMDb Score: 8.7/10

The world of Over the Garden Wall is darker and scarier than that of Gravity Falls. The story itself is also more complex and profound and the ending isn't as straightforward as it seems at first, and it continues to spark debate.

The plot follows two brothers, the melancholy Wirt and the carefree Greg, who find themselves in a mysterious forest and try to find their way home. But what is this forest, how did they get there, and what time does the story take place in?
