Fate: The Winx Saga Season 1 (2021) Series Review

This Series is amazing, and for the life of me I can't understand why it only got 31% on Rotten Fakking Tomatoes while an overly simplistic series like "Lupin" full of Plot Holes and Plot Armor would get a 96% rating. 

Is it because the main Character of Lupin was black, and that there were discussions about "Whitewashing" with Fate: The Winx Saga? Really? So everything is politicized now, including the Series and Movies?

It is not perfect, it is a bit too oriented towards Teens at times, and the first 15 or so minutes of the first Episode was a bit slow. But it did took off from there into a pretty good, watchable Series. 

I liked the Twists, and the Multi-layer Stories, and the fact that everything is not really as Black and White, there's a lot of Gray areas here which is an important message to relay to the younger ones. 

It has a pretty good degree of unpredictability, you just don't know for sure what is going to happen next. I also liked the details they went thru in terms of some of the Powers, like what having the Power to manipulate Light would mean, for example. 

It's not just for illuminating things, but also could be extended to camouflage and illusion. Overall it is like "Harry Potter meets Riverdale, but with Fairies". Despite some shortcomings, I found it to be highly enjoyable, one of the Must See Shows on Netflix now.
