Not the best fantasy series out there, but now Willow is slowly finding it grove. I enjoy seeing some of the characters I loved as a child. And finally it is catching up to the charm of the original, even if some of the tropes feel a bit dated and scenes that feel a bit cheesy. But thats part of the fun, my kids are enjoying this like I did the original movie.

Love Warwick as Willow, charming as usual. Also like Erin Kellyman as Jade, good to see the story focussing on her in this episode. I liked her in Solo as well as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. This young actress will go places. Some of the other characters are a bit less annoying with time, still growing on me.

If you like a kids fantasy series, I would recommend this.

Watching this in seriousness will lead to disillusionment. We've all watched far too many fantasy movies and series that are dark, graphic, and angst-ridden.

This is witty, charming, ironic and, yes, light.

It's old skool family viewing with something for all ages. You don't even need to have seen the original.

It confronts the standard wooden Lucas Film scripts by styling it out, which is even funnier. Some good giggles, enough relationships to tug at a gentle heart, and a story which is predictable and derivative (because they all are).

The kids love it, the young adults spot the references to other movies and storylines (apparently it's all very D&D), and us old folk enjoy the lack of graphic sex and violence.

Good viewing.

The group enter the enchanted forest and meet the Bone Reavers.

This is an enjoyable episode with good spectacle and character moments.

I have to admit this is guilty pleasure episode of mine for two reasons. First and foremost it includes a scene filmed it a local cultural spot near to where I live (Neath Abbey and Gatehouse), and the filmmakers use it very well to stage an action scene.

Secondly, I am either finally warming to some of the characters, or the humour was actually stronger in this episode than previous. I found myself amused by frequent dialogue exchanges between characters.

I like the backstory revealed about the character Jade and she has some much needed focus, however the romance between her and Kit feels lukewarm at best. I don't particularly like that the tension has been forced from the first episode before we were properly introduced to them. Personally, I think the attraction should have been portrayed as growing from this adventure and the meaningful events they go through together. Just when things get overly sappy though, there is a good intervention which I found quite humorous.

All performances are pretty solid and the visuals are strong as ever.

I'll give this one a biased rating of 7.5/10, but as always I round upwards.

So we've struggled through to Episode 5 and it's not getting any better.

Unlike a lot of the younger viewers my husband and I are ardent Willow (the film) fans and could probably quote the whole film. We know it's not the greatest film ever made but you believe in the characters all the way.

With every episode of this TV series I watch I'd love for it to become what it should. Sorry to say it doesn't. The story is poor, the writing dreadful, directing undetectable and the acting wooden and bad at best.

I genuinely do not give a flying fig about a single character. It ticks so many boxes of diversity and yet not a single character has enough authenticity and depth to make them believable.

Sorry Disney you messed up big time on this one.

This show is bloody stupid! I am so tired of Disney destroying things from my childhood! And why is the song crimson and clover in the middle of the episode? This show is making me regret my Disney plus subscription. The characters in this show are the most insufferable turds! The only one that gets a pass is Willow himself, but they sideline him for the teenage "actors". I have never written a review for anything, but this show is even worse than Rings of Power. And I did not think that was gonna be possible. I have been hate watching this show with the hope that it will get better, but each new episode is taking a bigger dump on the memory of the Willow movie!
