Who Should Watch It

What Taming the General Is About

Taming the General is the kind of secret baby & family series that makes a strong first impression and, unusually, keeps it.

The setup, in plain terms: To save her dying twin from conscription, Ella Green cuts her hair, binds her chest, and goes to war in his place as demons gather for a new invasion. But the army is led by General Micah Roth — the man who once saved her life, stole her heart, and still sees her as a child.

The Episode Format — What to Expect

Like most vertical dramas, Taming the General runs in micro episodes that each end on a beat built to trigger “next”. Expect roughly 60 to 100 episodes, most between sixty and ninety seconds. Clear your evening before pressing play.
