Emerald City

I don't understand how this wasn't more popular and why they would cancel it!? it's dark, exciting, the world building is great, acting is great, the cinematography is great.... it leaves off on a cliffhanger and a lot of loose ends which would be great if there was a season 2! but there isn't. and i can't find anything, show or book, that can satiate this itch i now have. we need season 2!

Aside from the obvious elephant in the room when you first start watching the pilot - Dorothy is definitely older than 20- I liked the casting and really like the lead actress and believe she has depth and intelligence. If they had gone and castes a dumb but pretty face for the hot factor alone, leaving a forgettable lead character than I wouldn't have bothered watching past the 10 min marker. But I liked her and I liked the quick lead in and the whole setting really. The casting for everyone else and their chemistry is superb. The set design and costumes are special and worthy of recognition. You SHOULD feel like you're in a different world and you do. I'm also a mega fan of Vincent D and was not disappointed by his turn as a beloved but strange wizard with dark undertones hiding something (many things I'm sure),

The acting was spot on, the story was unique, and it felt like something new. It is disappointing that they never went with a second season but if you are into the fantasy genre this is a must watch.

Its not fair good series always get cancelled and brainless reality tv is still airing. My favorite show "Prodigal Son" and "Emerald City" dang it I want to see Lucas and Dorothy back. The show was creative and had a very exciting new reimagined view of a classic. It truly is annoying when networks don't give loyal viewers any closure despite the ranks.

Why this show scores lower than 8 is a pure mystery to me, maybe because the show is more intelligent than an average fantasy show out there... I am a big fan of Game of Thrones and I can see there is a lot of inspiration in Emerald City that comes from Game of Thrones, the difference however is - no tits, violence and sex ... I think one of the reasons why I like the show is that it has a certain touch of realism politics and characters being somewhat messed up. Just look at them - everyone apart from Dorothy is obsessed with either power, revenge control or magic...

The Story 9/10
