A visually striking Filipino animated noir that critics wished had more seasons — praised for mythological world-building and Liza Soberano's voice work, with some noting thin plotting across six episodes.
Celluloid Critics Consensus
What is Trese about?
Manila occult detective Alexandra Trese mediates between humanity and Philippine mythological entities — aswang, tikbalang, duwende — when crimes spill from the underworld into the neon streets. Netflix's animated adaptation of the cult comic noir blends folklore with cyberpunk cityscapes.
Critic Reviews
Trese Review: Netflix Philippines' Animated Mythology Noir
★★★½☆
Budjette Tan's comic became Netflix animation — 78% critics, Filipino folklore meets cyberpunk Manila, Liza Soberano voicing Alexandra Trese.
Visually striking [Philippines](/country/philippines/) animation on [Best of Asia 2016–2026](/best/asia-2016-2026/) — six episodes craving a second season.
