“Fate: The Winx Saga” on Netflix Review by Suzanne 1/30/21
This series is based on a hit 2004 Italian-American animated series called “Winx Club” that also ran on Nickelodeon. The basic idea is similar to Harry Potter: a young person that wasn’t raised with magic goes to a boarding school for magical kids, where they learn to hone their powers. They even make a joke about Harry Potter in the first episode. There are two types of teen students at Alfea, the magical boarding school in the Otherworld (a world parallel to ours): The women are fairies, with magical powers based on the elements such as fire, water, mind etc. Their emotions are linked to their powers. The men are specialists, which appear to be humans training to defend the Otherworld.
The star of the show is Bloom (Abigail Cowen), an American girl who grew up in our world, not knowing what she was or that magic existed. She finds out that she was a Changeling, a fairy baby switched with a human one. She left her human parents because she had accidentally burned down their house and injured her mother one day, after getting angry. She meets the other magical teens as she moves to Otherworld.
It’s a good fantasy show, with a lot of action and teen angst. If you like shows such as “Legacies,” then you should enjoy this.
