Fate: The Winx Saga

I enjoy the show, the storyline is interesting. The only thing that really bothers me is the age of the characters? Like why are the characters 16-17 years old having sex in school, smoking and drinking? I know the show is fairies and fantasy but that part is just really unrealistic and disturbing.

Other than that i really enjoy the show. Its for people that love Charmed, The Magicians and the umbrella academy.

The main character is kind of explosive and all over the place given she's only 16 in the show, it makes sense but the over dramatics is sometimes unnecessary. Love how each character had their own distinct personality and the show keeps me wondering whats going to happen!

Watched this with my wife over the past week or so, and it's not too horrible, but there are definitely plot holes and biases. Pretty obvious they made this with a young female demographic in mind. All kinds of diversity on the female casting side, yet the guys are a pretty homogenous set of pretty boys that like to pretend to be strong.

They did their best to fuse a bunch of concepts together. For instance, magic is supposed to manifest around puberty, but they want the school to feel like college, so they compromised and they're all "16", but look 25. They wanted to fuse fantasy elements with modern world, so they have cell phones and military vehicles, but somehow no guns of any kind. M2 would seriously wreck house and I've got to think that'd take the spotlight away from their magical special effects.

Our lead tries to exercise some reasoning to accelerate the story past "naive protagonist stumbles through whatever" but she somehow gets satisfied with only one round of analysis without weighting long-standing bias. For instance, if you implicitly trust a mentor character, and that mentor character has decades of grudge against whatever, how do you not take any precautionary steps to respect that mentor?

No spoilers, but I took a star for the haphazard manner the season finale was handled. Pretty much gives them a mulligan on, well, everything in season one, which is extremely lazy writing.

First off, pros, beautiful cinematography and a captivating storyline. Second, cons, angsty teens with powers run around causing havoc and just being annoying.

I was expecting this to be a bad adaptation, I ended up really liking it, was definitely not expecting it to be good but it actually is. It's very different form the original show and that can be seen in the trailers, the trailers were bad for my taste. I recommend you giving it a try just like I did, maybe you'll enjoy it.

Definitely worth a watch, but the writers made the main character so incredibly insufferable it's almost hard to watch. She's rude and overly-aggressive and so thick-headed it almost made me stop watching the show all together. The way she insults anyone who disagrees with her or won't give her what she wants is almost comical, no one ever puts her in her place and it's infuriating. Hopefully, a season 2 will have some better writing for character development.
