The Best TV Shows Based on Video Games

1-5

What's going to be #1, huh?

Castlevania netflix

5. Castlevania — Castlevania is an anime series on Netflix, based on the video game series of the same name. The plot is heavily inspired by Castlevania 3, a classic from the NES era, and revolves around Trevor Belmont. He sets out to kill the evil vampire Count Dracula, together with a mage and the half-vampire Alucard, son of Count Dracula himself. Incredibly exciting and absolutely recommended!. (Credit: Netflix)

Dmc anime

4. Devil May Cry — I'm sorry, the Devil May Cry anime series is from 2007? Wow, how time flies. This series was the only way for me to experience anything from Devil May Cry, because I couldn't play the games back then. For me, it's still absolutely worth watching to this day, so check it out yourself! (Credit: Capcom)

Scott pilgrim the animation

3. Scott Pilgrim VS The Animation — Okay, I have to admit that I cheated a bit with this series. Actually, Scott Pilgrim first appeared as a comic book. Then there was a video game, and at some point the terrific movie Scott Pilgrim VS The World. In addition to the movie, there was an animated series that came out and told Scott's backstory. Anything with Scott Pilgrim in it is automatically gold. (Credit: Adult Swim)

Pokemon serie

2. Pokémon — Well, you probably didn't expect that, did you? Even if you didn't always realize it when you grew up with the Pokémon series, it was of course based on a video game! And it still holds a special place in my heart to this day. (Credit: Amazon)

Witcher netflix

1. The Witcher — This will surprise very few people. The Netflix series for The Witcher is simply awesome. While it's mostly based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski, what truly inspired the series was the huge popularity of CDPR's Witcher 3. Henry Cavil, who plays Geralt, is also an avid gamer and a huge fan of the series. (Credit: Netflix)
