Eine lausige Hexe

I remember reading the books in the 70's and then watching the movie w/Tim Curry in the 80's. I actually just rewatched it the other day. This is a cute little series that shows friendship, trying to fit in, finding your self, and trying out new things. It is refreshingly not complicated or weighed down with special effects or preachy. My daughter, though in her 20's, might get a kick out of this series. It's a fun light watch. Worth the time spent.

This show got me hooked at the very beginning. There is something different about it but at the same time exciting. Kept me glued to the TV wanting more. The plot is very interesting and different from anything on TV right now. The characters do a great job there extremely diverse. The acting is surprising considering this show as mostly kids in it but they do a great job of being the characters. I wanted more and felt like the show could even get even better.

I know this show is really new, and that is likely why the rating is so low, but I think it is also probably because people think its copying Harry Potter, when it is in fact based on an older book series/ TV show/ movie. I have never been exposed to Worst Witch before this, and it is a great show! The child actors are fantastic, especially the one who plays the lead (Mildred) and the show does an excellent job of keeping the magic aspect fun and exciting while also using it to show normal growing up struggles-- something many shows try to do but which Worst Witch does really naturally. I recommend that if you like Harry Potter, as I do, you give it a shot, and enjoy the similarities instead of judging. Also, recommended for both males and females. Just because most characters are female does not mean this show won't be fun for you anyway (trust me it will)!

I think this entire season was wonderful. The actors are not only very good but they truly make you believe they are witches! I was hooked within the first few minutes. It tells such a good story with all the individual back stories to help you as you go along to understand why some of the girls act they way they do. I really cannot wait until the 2nd season airs....Anyone know when that will be???

I am so tempted to just rate this a 10/10 since it's basically how much enjoyement I get out of it but since it's not (unironically) that good I'm not going to do that.

But yeah, this show is fun as hell. One of the most entertaining things I've ever seen. The weirdly comedic and bizarre writing, the endearing yet nonsensical characters, and my favorite, the sort of cringy but also charming acting make it a fantastic experience and a delight to watch.

...season 4 kinda sucks though, not just because they replaced Mildred's actress (which, the new actress does a great job as well but the chaotic energy is just not there you know), but also because the writing starts to kinda feel a bit tiresome and lazy.

Sorry not sorry bye.
