An ambitious series that works its magic in its first scene. The novel plot is intricately structured and gratifying while the animation — which dips into various styles including impressionism — invites you into an awe-inspiring alternative world.

Sparks of Tomorrow has a lot of promise, and any fan of high-quality animation, original storytelling, and memorable characters is likely to enjoy this Netflix Original series. Even if the first episode has a lot going on, at the very least, it’s a true feast for the eyes.
