I'd seen The Amazing Digital Circus referenced at conventions and other events in recent years, but I never gave it a ton of attention. What little I knew of it was that it started on YouTube, and from my limited, thirty-something worldview, it felt cringe for a man of my age to even engage in it.
Fortunately, I have a brilliant young daughter who desperately wanted me to watch it with her, so I fired up my Netflix subscription and off we went. Nine episodes later, I fully admit I was wrong, and I totally get why so many people went to see the final episode in theaters. It may be cringeworthy to some, but The Amazing Digital Circus ended up being one of the best sci-fi shows I've seen in a while.
