Keep in mind that this review is coming from someone who loves fantasy/romance stories.
Never in my life have I seen such an awful show. It doesn't suffer because it's a ripoff, it suffers because it shows how dead Nick is. This show makes me cringe just by existing. But before we get into the list of shows and movies this show is ripping off, and trust me, it's a long one, let's go into show aspects. First, the acting: It's awful. The cast is dry and often looks like they don't want to be there. Even the cast hates their own show! Now let's talk about the horrendous animation! The affects are so lazy. It looks like used an iOS app or an Apple computer to edit the show. It's absolutely horrible! And then there's the concept. It's all just the stereotypical "girl falls in love with a boy and a mean girl automatically hates her and makes friends with the weird outcasts" It's over used, dry, and boring. I'm willing to bet that this was basically the stereotypical teen sitcom, and decided to add magic "as smart decision" Newsflash: It was a stupid choice. Now for the LONG list of media this show is ripping off:
Star Vs. The Forces of Evil
The Little Mermaid
Lolirock
The Tinkerbell movies
Star Darlings
Sofia the First
Wizards of Waverly Place
Every Witch Way
Every Disney Princess movie ever And there you go! All the reasons why this show is awful! Bottom line: It is the worst Nickelodeon sitcom ever made. And on a list of worst Nick shows in general, it's not number one, but it is EXTREMELY HIGH ON THAT LIST. It's needs to be cancelled. NOW.
