Scuola di streghe

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.

Coming from watching the 1986 film when I was 6, and now watching it on Netflix this version, I am grateful that they have filmed this. I appreciate the story line and love the characters of this new one. If anyone has not read the books like I have not, this is a great beginning to the actual story line and how it has progressed in the modern world.

Great job guys.

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 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)!

As has been said in other intelligent reviews, The Worst Witch book series significantly pre-dates Harry Potter.

Since JK Rowling was 9 years old when the first Worst Witch book was written, we might well assume there was some early influencing going on. The similarities exist, as those who don't know about the books and think THIS is the rip-off like to point out. However, any similarities would work the other way around. Did she intentionally plagiarize? Probably not. How many of us remember everything we read as children?

This series is a remake of a series that came from a movie that came out in the 1980s (from the book written in 1974). There has already also been a reboot: The NEW Worst Witch.

As with all the others, this is a relatively low budget production, but seems quite cute and would likely be very enjoyable to children, and to those who would like to know the original inspiration for the world of Harry Potter.
