The Fable

The concept of a hitman, groomed to be ruthless and cunning his entire life, being ordered to live a mundane normal life, sounded very interesting even before I started watching the show. I must say that the concept has been executed very well. The Fable has a good balance of comedy, action, and intensive scenes, and throughout the season it felt like the perfect mix of slice-of-life and action I needed. The show served as a good break from the extreme "mundane life" and "end of the world" stories we usually get these days.

Animation-wise too, the show holds really well. It manages to deliver the expressions of the characters really well, which was a necessity for portraying especially the protagonist faithfully.
