Chloe Sep 20 It was quite interesting up to the point where the mentally impaired Wizard of Oz kills the nun out of the blue. I couldn't bother to watch the rest. But not only because of that. The whole thing is honestly barely watchable, quite amateurish, and with such a ridiculously small worldbuilding. It feels like a theater setting. Waste of time after all. For me all what I drop is a waste of time, even if it was somehow enjoyable up to that point.

And full of COMPLETELY unnecessary drama and PROFOUNDLY nonsensical decisions which makes you wonder if there's a similarly bad writer behind the worst mistakes of your life. Who tf would otherwise behave in such demented way? There have been episodes where I just couldn't believe that someone actually greenlit this. I just couldn't believe that they didn't notice how immensely wrong that part of the story was. And there were parts that felt like "ok, wtf, I just keep watching and f. it". All in all, one of the worst series I watched in a while. But I'm the guy who HATED Andor for confusing realism with unnecessary drama and random suffering. So, maybe you shouldn't believe me.

There have been many adaptations of the story, but Emerald city managed to feel different and unique, without losing the wonder of the original tale. I especially enjoyed how it humanized and gave the Scarecrow, the tin man and the lion backstories. The hierarchy between the witches and the wizard was interesting and I love how the series brought a more political intrigue to the original tale. It’s a shame it was canceled after one season. The show truly had the potential to grow into a classic over time. ^^ See more Carlee G Apr 7 Emerald City starts slow but evolves into a gripping and unique storyline. As a child, I was obsessed with The Wizard of Oz, and I loved the reimagining for an adult audience. It’s a dark and mature take that offers in-depth and evolving characters. My only complaint is that there is only one season. On the right platform, this series could have been a hit for many years. See more Andy H @andyhh Mar 15 Why so serious? That's what said to me after watching The Dark Night. Isn't Batman a super hero. Well, thats what made "The Dark Night" the "The Dark Night", and not just another super hero movie (although that was before the SH churn). But I am just borrowing that quote here, "Why so serious?". There is no point really. But ok, its pretty good, and I got hooked, on that west-coast to east-coast flight anyway. I do like darkness, it seems. See more Mike C 11/28/2024 This was so bad, and Im an enormous fan of all fantasy movies like this. I really wanted it to be great. The acting was horrible across the board and the main actors were definitely miscast. Nothing exciting or intriguing ever happened, horrible plot of there even was a plot. I knew by episode 3 that this would be cancelled by the bad acting alone. I can’t believe they even aired this. See more Read all reviews
