The original Willow feature is basically a medieval retelling of Star Wars: Episode IV. This series introduces several new characters and resurrects some familiar ones.
Joanne Whalley is a standout as Sorsha. A princess in the original movie, she is now a queen with children of her own.
The new characters are well-cast and have some genuinely funny moments. The dialogue is like, jarringly modern at times though.
A show as derivative as this one would quickly be dismissed if not for its connection to a beloved property from the 1980s.
If you are looking for something edgy, challenging or insightful, then this is not the series for you.
This is a show that offers some well-crafted, predictable fantasy from the world's most bloated and exploitative media company.
