Okey, i'm gonna be honest and say that I really didn't have like a lot of expectation with this because when I saw the trailer I just tougth that it's just a TV show of a bunch of depressing teenagers with first world problems (like mostly of the shows that Netflix loves to create)... and, I mean, there is no a biiiiiiiiig difference beetwen that and the whole situation of the serie, but now that I watched it all I have some things to say. Please take a sit. 1. I have to let it clear that this is a ADAPTATION, and the funny thing of everything is that the creators can actually take all the bases, all the main trama, a lot of the original characters and create something new to the grown childrens that saw the animated show. I think that i'm actually satisfaed with it... I could enjoy all the main story with Bloom, her past,the discoverment of her powers, etc... when I was a little girl and now being a young adult. 2. NOT AND INFANTILE SHOW. Don't let kids watch it with you, please conserve the innocence of Alfea with them. 2. Maybe it's too "mainstream" or "millennial" for some people a lot of thing that were on the show (like the existence of Instagram or smartphones and texting messages in case of danger, in every single person in the fairy magic world... even teachers) but I think that this just make that the story would be light, funny and accurate to our times. I feel it REAL. 3. Story is DEEP. And that's why I feel it real! 'Cause we all know the main characters of the original version, yes, but not in the sense of talking and treating a LOT of topics that put this show in a range of +16 public (violence, revenge, ~~sex, alcohol and drugs~~, etc, etc). All the whole situation of Bloom and her powers and family... it was deep sis... 4. FINAL CHAPTER GOT ME SHOCK, no more comments. 5. I think the show deserves a chance, just like Shadowhunters did (wich actually I find both REALLY similar... weird), it's just the first season and I think that it was a very well-doing beginning, I honestly want to see more...

Just like Riverdale and Sabrina, Netflix took another childhood favourite and changed it into a live action, dark teen drama, full of action, suspense, mystery, and of course teen angst! At first, I wasn't sure if I would like this; got slow halfway through, but things got interesting in the second act, especially the last episode; and the ending, I did not see that coming! Thank you Netflix, for making Winx Club bad ass! I really can't wait for season 2.
