Nice Things:
Whoever is over the CGI is definetly doing their job.
Oz Lore being mentioned, understood, and used.
I’m actually interested in seeing where the story with Ozma goes!
Ok…I know the show has to follow the books, but I can’t help but feel a little ticked that the Wicked Witch of the East is dead. How she died was a neat twist, but I really wanted to see more of her!!!! 🙁
Glinda & the Wicked Witch of the West have an interesting sisterhood, but it’s definetly believable! Can’t wait to see what happens with them, and really hoping one of them gets the chance to kill the Wizard, who I am definetly not fond of.
Bad Things:
“Mistress”? Really, is that what they call the iconic Witches of Oz?!!!!
Ok…I don’t really know if this is a mini series or an actual series, but it feels as if a bit too much is happening at once. One story is Dorothy & Lucas, next is The Witches of Oz, then there’s the Wizard, then Tip, and then there’s the Guards…it just feels like the story so far is all over the place.
Dorothy…Dorothy…Dorothy…hmmm. It’s not that the character’s bad, but…she’s not really interesting. Hopefully that changes soon!
Ok…I know this is their interpretation of the story, but I just don’t get an Oz feel from this show. It lacks so much magic and wonder that the Land of Oz is supposed to have, at one point I forgot I was watching a story about the Wizard of Oz. The world seems more like a cross over of Star Wars and Game of Thrones….like was that really the Emerald City?!!!
Overall:
Not as grand as I’d hope, but it was interesting enough to make me want to watch the next episode or two.
