Wow, umm... I didn't expect it to be as good as the original, but I didn't expect it to be this cliche and bad either. The world-weary Queen Sorsha dealing with the spunky, misfit youngins as they go about their one dimensional cliche routines is all of us watching this remarketed-as-young-adult adventure tripe.
There is no feel of wonder to this world anymore; it just feels bland. The music that plays during the episode is uninspired and not at all reminiscent of the original, and the pop song they play for the end credits is so jarring it spoils whatever tiny bits of nostalgic joy this show managed to dredge up.
I'm currently watching the second episode to give it a fair shake, and so far? Yeah... I don't think I will be back next week. Kathleen Kennedy has already spoiled enough of my childhood stories, she doesn't need this one too.
