Emerald City (2016–2017)
7/10
Too bad it's cancelled

Warning: Spoilers
I can see some of the points made by other reviewers that didnt like it but they are taking them to the extreme. The show is not garbage. The set pieces and costumes are beautiful. The story line is not stupid or confusing if you know how to put 2 and 2 together without the writers spelling it all out for you. I had the opportunity to binge watch it without commercials but I can see for anyone who was watching as it aired each week would be less forgiving of faults. I really liked Dorothy and Lucas and their journey. Tip a.k.a. Ozma's story was interesting but I was less interested in the other storylines. That doesnt mean they were bad or without purpose, they just felt like an interruption of the story I actually cared about. The ending of the season had very little resolution, if any at all. There is a lot more story to tell that would undoubtedly be more exciting in season 2. Like the fight against this "beast forever" that we've been hearing about, who Dorothy inadvertently set free from a magical prison. Dorothy and Lucas finding their way back to eachother and finding out what exactly Dorothy is. Shes obviously not just an average human born in Oz and raised in Kansas. Sadly we'll never get that.

There are so many shows about cops and doctors and family drama, rehabbing houses ect and so few options with in the fantasy genre that it's a bit frustrating when a decent one comes around yet isnt allowed to tell it's full story.
