I am going to start off this
review by saying that this is not the Wizard of Oz that you know and love, it
has the same characters names some of them anyway but the story a little
different. I would say it is a combination of if the TV shows Game of Thrones,
Once Upon A Time, and The 100 all had a baby it would be Emerald City. The show
started off with Dorothy who was in her twenties, and she was a nurse who was
going to help someone in the trailer park and when the tornado happened she was
in a police car. When she got out of the car after driving into a house she has
no idea where she is, and she and Toto who is a German Shepard in this version,
happen upon Oz near Munchkin land as a matter of fact, in this version it is a
more of a tribe of people than munchkins, and the leader takes Dorothy to prison.
Dorothy saves a man the scarecrow that she names Lucas as he does not know his name, but Lucas is where she is from.
On the way to the Emerald City they happened upon the Wicked Witch of The East,
and Dorothy takes her how to use the gun that she found in Dorothy’s bag to
kill herself. Her sisters the witches of the north and the west bury her, and the
witch of the west is not well but she ends up surviving. There is a healer that
Dorothy takes Lucas to as he is about ready to die, and she saves him with the
help of the healer, the healer has a son that he keeps locks in a room that at
the end of the episode thanks to Dorothy, Lucas, and his friend Jack.
There were many good quotes, and so I would watch the
episode if you can it was tour hours long with commercials. “Something has
happened in the east.”- Ozian “Toto is a dog
in our language”- Tribal leader”Follow the brick road to the Emerald City, the
Wizard is there.”-Tribal Leader. “I’m a helper I’m a healer.”-Dorothy
I loved this show and I loved the vibe that they were trying
to give it, I thought it was clear where they were coming from with the choices
that they made. This is the story that you know, with an updated twist and that
is one of the many things that I loved about it. I loved the dark tones, and the most adult tone of the show, it made me
feel like it was the story that you know but with an elevated tone to the
voice. I loved the characters, and I loved that they added something that were new and different to the characters that
you know and love, and that it had the kind of a thing that was different with
the adding of the original characters that they created. I would highly recommend for anyone who loves the world of The
Wizard of Oz.
