I'm very......how about you?

Only 1/3 through meh. Odd. I know the books are super bizarre but this? Vincent D'Onofrio's wig is freaking me out.

I don't think they were trying to make it comparable, other than some of the names.

I think they're trying to make their own thing, their own take on Oz. I like it so far. I think it's pushing that diversity agenda...ie: rather than feeling celebrated, it feels forced and contrived, not appreciated.

But they have some interesting visual takes and new story backgrounds to explain the characters, and that's pretty cool actually.

And I stepped on the ping pong ball!

At first look it's not similar to the books nor the 1939 movie, and I've read all the original books. It's no doubt a grown-up version of the story, whatever else might be different. Looks impressive though.

Bottom line it's very slow moving to the point of boredom oh yes it's being done on a grand scale but that doesn't help.
Let's not forget the MUNSTERS reboot!

I liked it. The dark. The diversity. All of it.

The show sucks. All style, no substance. That is why it is on Friday nights. That is the night many shows, other than the news documentaries, that will only mostly appeal to kids/teens are on (see: "Grimm").

Maybe I was expecting more, but this is just a soap opera n a sword and sorcery setting. It will never have any satisfying conclusion or even episodic shows; it will just go on and on with boring "intrigue".

I'm done with it. There are too many other good shows and movies to watch to waste more time on a show that will never go anywhere.

Well, 'disappoined' is not the right word for how I feel, because I've seen the previews and promos and kind of expected it to go the dark route. That is far from what the movie stood for, but I am theoretically opened for the new version.

I found it impressive how expensive it seams. Sets seam real, camera work is great, even the castle looks real. It's definitely not 'OUAT in Wonderland' production quality.

Even though they deviated from the movie versions, I enjoyed the acting and interaction of The Wizard, Glinda and The Wicked Witch. There is some interesting GoT/LOTR intrigue in there.

I didn't care much for Dorothy, though. I don't know if it's the actress or writing or both, but she was just… there. She wasn't horrified or surprised enough for someone just awaking in a foreign land. She should have asked questions about her whereabouts, magic and such, not taking it all for granted.

Also, they rushed things with Toto. Since they went with a story that he wasn't her dog from before, they missed an opportunity to create a relationship through examples of training and trust. Basically, as soon as he was with her, he was with her. No questions asked.

Munchins make me sad… they didn't even attempt having dwarves… with this and OUAT take on dwarves, one wonders weather there is more height discrimination now than it was in the 30s, which is ridicolous.

Is anyone else kind of tired of 'The Chosen One' stories if the chosen ones aren't that interesting?

Overall, I gave it a mixed review.
