Netflix Quietly Dropped a Gorgeous 20-Episode WWI Drama That Should Go Down as a Modern Classic

At first glance, Netflix’s anime series Love Through a Prism looks like comfort viewing: a lush period romance bathed in warm light, filled with gentle but confident performances and sweeping vistas that feel almost indulgent. Like many prestige romances, it emphasizes restraint and yearning rather than grand declarations. But its idyllic vision of early-20th-century London comes with a deadline. World War I is approaching, whether its young artists know it or not.
