The show ended just last weekend. I feel a little broken, I'll admit. I have been following this show since Summer of 2021, witnessing this show go from being a controversial subject, to becoming a legendary show, praised as the best show on Disney Channel since Gravity Falls and being regarded as one of the WORST instances of corporations dragging a show through the mud due to low ratings.
However, for those of us who saw it the whole way through, we know that Dana Terrace and crew ultimately had the last laugh as the show's second season AND third season of three hour-long specials were nothing short of fantastic.
I will attest, it does take a moment to pick up speed. Season 1 has a lot of filler episodes and they... vary in quality. However, once you reach episode 15, the story kicks into overdrive. Understanding Willow, Enchanting Grom Fright, Agony of a Witch, Echoes of the Past, Eda's Requiem, Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's Door, it just kept getting better, and better, and better.
Was it overstuffed? A bit, yes. But Dana and her crew gave it the best they could, given the circumstances, and turned out a show that will be remembered as a masterpiece for years to come. And I'd be hard-pressed to say that it wasn't worth getting through the rough patches to witness the majesty that this show brings. Please, PLEASE go watch it! If you love magic, fantasy, dark looming threats, and even a hint of love in there, you WILL enjoy it.
