Swamp Thing (2019) is a dark and atmospheric television series that premiered on the DC Universe streaming service in May of 2019. The show is based on the popular DC Comics character of the same name and follows the story of Dr. Abby Arcane as she investigates a deadly virus that is spreading through a Louisiana swamp. Along the way, she discovers the existence of a powerful and mysterious creature known as Swamp Thing.

The show stars Andy Bean as Alec Holland, a brilliant scientist who becomes the Swamp Thing after a tragic accident. Derek Mears provides the voice and motion capture for Swamp Thing, bringing the iconic character to life with a mix of CGI and practical effects. Crystal Reed plays the role of Abby Arcane, a CDC scientist who comes to the small town of Marais, Louisiana to investigate a deadly virus outbreak. Maria Sten plays Liz, Abby's best friend and local reporter who helps her uncover the secrets of the swamp.

As Abby investigates the virus, she begins to uncover a dark conspiracy that involves the local government, a powerful businessman named Avery Sunderland (Will Patton), and the mysterious forces of the swamp. Along the way, she encounters a number of colorful characters, including Jeryl Prescott as Madame Xanadu, Virginia Madsen as Avery's scheming wife, and Kevin Durand as a dangerous and unpredictable villain named Jason Woodrue.

One of the key themes of Swamp Thing is the clash between the natural world and humanity's desire for control and domination. Throughout the show, we see Swamp Thing struggling to come to terms with his new identity as a protector of the swamp and its inhabitants. He faces constant opposition from those who seek to exploit the swamp for their own gain, including Avery Sunderland and his team of scientists. Meanwhile, Abby is forced to confront her own conceptions of science and what it means to truly understand the natural world.

One of the standout features of Swamp Thing is its stunning visuals and production design. The show creates a rich and immersive world that perfectly captures the eerie and mysterious atmosphere of the Louisiana swamp. The use of practical effects and puppetry to bring Swamp Thing to life also adds a level of realism and authenticity to the character that is rare in today's CGI-heavy film and television landscape.

Overall, Swamp Thing is a captivating and engaging series that will appeal to fans of horror, science fiction, and comic books alike. With its compelling characters, thrilling plotlines, and stunning visuals, it stands out as one of the best entries in the DC Universe streaming service's lineup.

Something unnatural is happening in the swamps outside Marais, Louisiana. When a mysterious illness strikes the town, CDC investigator (and former Marais native) Abby Arcane is sent to investigate. At the hospital, she encounters biologist Alec Holland who believes the bizarre illness might be connected to his scientific work in the swamp for powerful businessman Avery Sunderland. Abby has a history with Avery and Maria Sunderland, who still blames the young Arcane for the tragic death of her daughter years before. But with a deadly swamp-born virus out there, something is wrong in Marais right now. Along with Sheriff's Deputy Matt Cable, Abby once again crosses paths with Alec, but this time they encounter a terrifying, dark force that's not only killed intruders, but is also taking control of its victims. At Delroy's Roadhouse, Abby consults her old friend and local reporter Liz Tremayne who has a lead deep in the swamp. When Alec goes missing after investigating the unnatural experiments deep in the swamp, something else rises in his place: Swamp Thing, a mysterious creature born of the depths of the swamp's mystical and terrifying secrets. With nature wildly out of balance and coming for the people of Marais, in the end, it may take some Thing from the swamp to save it.
