Fate: A Saga Winx

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.

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!

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

A series with mostly average acting, terrible writing, laughable development and just some nice VFX and heart-warming teenish score!

It's so unbelievably bad and shallow that green-lighting a second season of that nonsense is just laughable, while brilliant series get cancelled after the first one.

Be sure that the same acrobatic circus and total nonsense will repeat in season 2.

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.
