The Emerald City series has a pretty mixed bag of ratings depending on where you look, but most fans seem to agree it's a solid 7/10. I binge-watched it last winter, and while it didn’t blow my mind like 'The Witcher' or 'Stranger Things,' it had this weirdly addictive charm. The visuals are stunning—like, every frame could be a wallpaper—but the pacing drags in a few episodes.
What really stuck with me was the soundtrack. Those eerie, synth-heavy tracks gave the whole show this dreamlike vibe. If you’re into dark fantasy with a slow burn, it’s worth checking out. Just don’t go in expecting non-stop action.
IMDb users rated it 7.1, and I’d bump that up to 7.5 for the sheer creativity alone. The Emerald City series takes huge swings with its reinterpretation of Oz, and while not all of them land, the ones that do are unforgettable. The Gale Force storm scene? Chills. It’s the kind of show that lingers in your head afterward, even if you’re not sure you loved it. Perfect for fans of 'American Gods' or 'Carnival Row.'
Metacritic scored it 65, which matches my take—flawed but fascinating. The CGI for the flying monkeys was surprisingly good, and the dialogue had moments of real wit. It’s a show that rewards patience; the first few episodes are slow, but by mid-season, you’re hooked. If you’re into reimagined classics, this is a must-try.
Rotten Tomatoes has it at 68%, which feels about right. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s fun. The acting’s decent, especially the actress who plays Dorothy—she brought a lot of depth to what could’ve been a flat character. The world-building is neat, though some lore dumps feel rushed. I’d say it’s a good weekend watch if you’re in the mood for something atmospheric.
I’d give it a 6.5/10, honestly. The Emerald City series had potential, but it felt like it couldn’t decide if it wanted to be a gritty reboot or a whimsical fairytale. The costumes and sets were gorgeous, though—super detailed and immersive. My favorite part was the political intrigue between the witches; those scenes had way more tension than the main plot. If you love 'Once Upon a Time' but wish it was darker, this might hit the spot.
