I loved this cartoon and I just binged on this whole first season. Do I have others who want to chat about it with me?

I will be watching it throughout the week while H is at work. He has no desire to watch it so I have to wait. I also watched the cartoon as a kid. I've heard some mixed reviews, so I have a little trepidation.

Is this the live action of the winx cartoon that was on about ten years ago? With some changes.

This feels a lot darker than the cartoon I remember watching.

The awkward loner vibe Bloom is giving weird.

Beatrix is definitely up to something. I wonder what the real story is.

I'm on the last episode, and Rosalind is shady as hell.

{Spoiler} She says she lives at the school because it's where her dad works, but this was her first year an actual student. I thought Terra was a second year? I find myself confused.

Wait, so Bloom isn't adopted in this one? {Spoiler} We can discuss this later. I kind of liked that they made her Changeling because of it's negative connotation. Similar to HP and how being raised by muggles taints him in a way for some pure bloods.

But that may be the nostalgia talking. There is definitely a lot going on with secret pasts and unknown magic. I agree but I watched it when my niece was small and she was super into it, and I stayed into it even after she was over it! LOL I will say, nostalgia aside, I feel like this is what they are doing with a lot of things. Archie and Riverdale, even the new Walker (which I loved with Chuck Norris, and I love Jared from Supernatural) feels darker than the old show. Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Not the title, I know) is darker on Netflix than anything they did with Melissa Joan Hart. But that was in line with Archie (yes she's from those comics,) it was supposed to be a light, and funny. I do like it, and it's the kind of a show that my niece (teenager) is back to liking because it feels "her age!" She devoured the season and then complained to me about it. LOL Especially of bitchy Stella because she loved Stella. But also Aisha wasn't in the original for a while I thought. And wasn't she a princess? (Several of them were I thought) I don't know if I like that Beatrix is only 1 person in this, as Trix was 3 witches, but she does have the 2 guys so... š¤·š½āāļø Can you tell I have feels?

I think they are all princesses in the cartoon? I do remember it being a big thing when they found out Sky was the prince and Stella was dating his knight. Since SHE should get the prince and all. I guess they felt the need to tone down the amount of actual.royalty But Aisha doesn't come in the cartoon until season 3 or so. I'm a little annoyed at the lack of Techna. And Flora, though they did sort of mention her as Terra's cousin. Also, Musa. I am unsure how I feel about what they did with her powers. She obviously still has the music connection...

I am SUUUUUPER late but finally binged all of it. I really enjoyed it (I did watch the cartoon a bit a long time ago, because I loved Sailor Moon in HS, but only a few seasons). Definitely much darker than the cartoon but I think it worked. Questions/What I'd like to see in S2: (spoilered, just in case) {Spoiler}- Obviously, eventual Rosalind comeuppance, especially for doing Farah so dirty in the finale. - What happened between Aster Dell and Bloom being left in the first world - like, how did Andreas survive (I'm assuming Rosalind healed him), and did Farah/Ben/Silva not notice or question Rosalind leaving there with two babies? How was Rosalind sealed in the undercroft? - Flora - Incoming first year, maybe? - Tecna - Going to put this out there, but I'd love to see Tecna come in as an adult. With what happened to Farah, I feel like the girls need an older fairy mentor that isn't batshit (aka Rosalind and Luna). Maybe as a new teacher, or an ally in Solaria, whatever - just someone outside of Rosalind's cult. - I feel like a major showdown between Andreas, Sky, and Silva is inevitable and I cannot wait. - Terra mentioned her mom's name is Rose, but do we know if she's alive or not? Also, what happened to Sky's mom? - WHY AM I SO FOCUSED ON THE ADULTS - Robert James-Collier. That's it, that's the line item.
