I gather that this might be its best chance of getting a second season, after being cancelled by HBO Max. So if you have Netflix you might want to fire that up and get watching.

this show is among the best the genre has to offer, you are truly missing out if you skip it



So there's this fantasy creature, right? Turns out the word "lich" isn't a random one, but instead it's a real (albeit outdated) English word for "corpse/dead body". A bunch of Germanic languages have cognates, for example Norwegian "lik" (corpse) and German "Leiche" (also "corpse").

Interestingly, the suffixes -ly/-like (as in, "childlike" and "manly") are also related to this word!

From *līką (Proto-Germanic word for "body" in both alive and dead senses), originally with the sense of 'having the body or form of'.
