Review of Wizards

Wizards (2020)
7/10
(A little too) fast-paced, but enjoyable
1 October 2020
Hell was I excited to hear that there's a sequel to one of my favorite shows, especially since the low storytelling quality of 3Below was such a disappointment to me.

The whole time travel thing really messes with the show's continuity (though it gives it a kind of Avengers Endgame appeal), but it's easy to ignore that with all the stuff happening at such a quick ate. Frankly, Wizards can be a little TOO fast-paced at times, cramming as many plot points and characters into an episode as possible, most likely due to the short run time of the miniseries. But at least this way, they leave out most of the cringier humor that I disliked about Trollhunters. A negative side effect is that they have almost no time to cautiously prepare those more epic and emotional sequences that really sold me about the original show.

With Douxie, they surprisingly succeeded to add a protagonist similarly empathic to Jim. The other characters do their part, but many fan-favorites are missing.
