Its been 37 years since the release of The Dark Crystal; Jim Henson and Frank Oz's fantasy film which was clearly ahead of it's time in 1982 and unfortunately, also ahead of the audience's desire to watch it. Although unsuccessful in cinemas it found it's place in the home video market and went on to become a cult classic. Now thanks to Netflix we return to the world of Thra, some 50 odd years before the events of the film occur! The Crystal and it's protectors, the Skeksis are still there, but this time so are thousands of Gelflings and a fully developed society!
