Really, my headline says it all.
The backgrounds of the characters could work out to be interesting and they could do a lot more with the magic effects than the original so that could be awesome to see but right now, they're focusing on the wrong things.
Yes, be current and with the times but don't shove it down people's throats like it's buzzword day at the office. It loses all meaning and makes people roll their eyes instead of think and digest.
I really don't like the use of the angry lesbian/feminist trope, especially when you're trying to push a feminist show. Counterproductive writing.
