Willow

I've watched three episodes and I'm trying to understand the connection of this TV show to the 80's movie I enjoy (Apart from a few name drops). Yes, there are some actors from the original movie. But the plot seems lost and I left wondering what this is all about. I miss the silliness/campiness of Madmartigan (Val Kilmer). The strong female role of Sorsha (Joanne Whalley) and the evilness of Bavmorda (Jean Marsh - FYI *Love her!*) and finally Willow Ufgood as the native wannabe magic user (Warwick Davis). There are no likeable characters here and we are left with a weak/non exist storyline. This is classic Disney, taking a well known brand/cult following and milking/ruining it! I hope they don't make another season! But check out the remake of The Equalizer (2021) if you want to see another example of a poor remake. But they keep making season....

This show is rightfully canceled after the first season. The show was written to serve a purpose: for the writers to shove their agenda down your throat at the expense of a beloved character and movie. This is obvious in the first two minutes of the first episode. But it's more than just that, this show has no depth of characters, a cheesy storyline that was an afterthought to the agenda and acting that is on par with silly 80's TV shows - which is to say that the acting, again, was an afterthought and the director of this doesn't even attempt to bring any sense of entertainment to you because this was not the shows primary purpose. This series had so much potential to be a great piece of fantasy television. Willow was a character we all loved in the movie, the story itself was cute, perhaps corny, but cute. This steaming pile of garbage has no appeal to anyone outside those who applaud agendas.
