very boring, filled with generic characters with no personality, cringe and full of stereotypes. It's really that bad. I also don't really like that they cut characters out and changed their etnicity (like for Flora). Stay away from this.

As an adaptation, this is bad. If this was called something else, it would've been okay. Let's start off with the good: 1. The storyline is pretty decent

As an adaptation, this is bad. If this was called something else, it would've been okay. Let's start off with the good: 1. The storyline is pretty decent
2. The CGI is neat
3. The aesthetic of the show is also neat
4. There are some good songs used in this show
Yeah that's all I can think of on the top of my head. Now let's get to the bad:
1. I will never forgive them for whitewashing Musa and "Flora" (technically Flora's cousin, Terra. But still, why is she white???)
2. Why isn't there any Tecna? She's literally the best fairy along with Musa. If they decide to make a second season, let's hope that they add her along with Roxy.
3. There are some cringey dialogue that just wasn't needed and that could be seen as politically loaded. Those never age well.
4. This live action adaptation and the original show are so different. Literally the only things that they have in common are the character names and the show name. 5. The cast lacks character growth trough out the show.
6. There are other things that bother me about this show but I can't really pinpoint them so yeah.
With that being said, I am giving this show a 4.5/10. This has what I call the Riverdale syndrome, we wanna make a story but have no fate what so ever in it, so let's shoehorn another IP in there to make it appealing and it should work. Like I said, bad for an adaptation, okay if it was called something else.

The show's mostly about overly emotional teen behavior and lgbtx snogging, sadly not much else

I Think the story HAD, in the past, a good potential.. As a rude fan of the cartoon, I think I expected the live action to be just like it but it doesn't.
It was so badly done. Starting with the lack of such special characters as Flora and Tecna, they simply ignored it.
2 - The lack of characterization of them as fairies, which in the cartoon is so noticeable and unique of them, they were super united and loved fashion and in the series ???? Bloom is totally ignorant and selfish all the time like she didn't wanted to be friends with them. 3 - They adultized the series without any needs talking about marijuana all the time, the love triangle between two best friends Bloom and Stella ????? Bloom was already a pain in the ass in the drawing but they made a Stella SO inferior of what she was.... It seems that at least they didn't even watch the drawing and **** everything! It was also the terrible script that made the series unbearable to watch.
I hope I do cinema to make a true good live action of the Winx Saga.

That Flora appears to be lesbian is no character development because everybody expected that actually much earlier. Too many stereotypes for me so that I actually stopped caring for what happens and will not see more seasons (if there are any). Expand

Some of the actor's performance is good as cinematography and interesting ideas. That's all the good things that I found at this show.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After I rewatched the whole first season after a day and I can't give a bad rating for the series. Yes there are things done poorly, but nonetheless a bit part were been great. I didn't watched a lot of the old winx version and just say about my feelings with the netflix show.
How is the character development? I'd say it's good for how short the show is. You can't show every character evolve in six episodes. We saw problems of power controll with Aisha, a relation between Sam and Musa, and Terra thats tries to have any good relation, but espacially a good one with Dan. Not every of it was till the end done perfectly fine. I didn't liked Stella, that she was always only upset about everyone, but atleast at the end she showed sorrow and the reason for that. You saw Bloom evolving with her powers but with the relation with their friends, family and Sky.

Story? It was for me enough to watch it in two days two times and enjoying it. The main story are the burned ones and Blooms past and power development during the show. I can't complain about it, we have a cliffhanger, but thats the reason why im excited for the next season.

Area? I think it should be more magic then just a forest. Maybe they did have limitation and thats why it's almost exclusively in the school just a quick part before and in the house of Bloom parent's. Maybe there were some limitation that's why im not upset and i didn't quite remember the old show.

Animation? Yeah that wasn't amazing at all some probably a problem caused by the pandemic, but nonetheless still done on a good level. Even tho I think could been done far more better.

I maybe do some people upset, but they record it in a difficult time to make a smile on some faces. I like the series so far (as I propably said few times in the review). It's a great base to build on a good story, hope they make more episodes so we can see more involvment of each character with each other and make it more smooth.

The Show is really good. The Story is interesting and I'm excited to see what happens in the future.

I know people miss some characters from the old cartoon-like Flora, but I find Terra to be a really good character and I like seeing someone in the show who isn't Stick thin or muscular. There is always hope for other characters to be introduced in the second season considering they are getting more episodes and can explore the characters further. I'm also aware of people who dislike it as they think the show isn't a lot like the Cartoon it is based on, but the show shouldn't be exactly like a Cartoon I don't think it work very well if it was, things needed to change. I think people should give the show a chance and Compare it less to the old cartoon version, I think that it is able to stand alone as a very good show.

So many people were complaining but for a spin off it's amazing. I like the story, for me it's better than some seasons of winx cartoon, actors are amazing and I can't wait to see season 2. Btw the location of filming is just beautiful.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As an OG fan of Winx, I love this adaptation. I do miss Tecna, Flora, and Roxy though. I’m hoping we get to meet them next season. I get very heavy Brakebills vibes from “The Magicians” from the way they chose to represent Alfea and the grounds. I like the CGI treatment on the burned ones. I absolutely hate the penultimate scene in the final episode of season one but I’m supposed to so well done, writers. My partner and I binge watched the entire first season in an evening and he’s a huge shonen fan so this is outside his norm. He said, “Wait, this was a kid’s show?” Not anymore it seems. Excited for season 2 Expand

I think the low rating most people give is unreasonable. It's a good show if you don't have any preconceptions about it. Yeah there are a few dumb overly dramatic moments, but I think overall the show has potential.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With only 6 episodes Winx gave us suspense, romance (Musa and Sam were adorable together) and a sense of wanting more after it's finalle. The actores delivered great performances, even the new ones, and lead us directly to Alfea. The only thing that struck too hard was Stella's sudden change of heart, but it didn't spoil my experience. I'm looking forward to find out how they will dictate the next season. Expand

Fate the Winx Saga has a good enough story. the acting is decent. But it is without a doubt a Harry Potter/Twilight wannabe. Yes, it is a decent show, but it is not a great show. It passes the time till the next fantastic beasts movie.
