I strongly believe like this was created to appeal to me specifically.

First thing I have to say, where is the sequel?! I need season two now!

If I had to describe this show in one word it would be fun. If you love funny, emotional, gay, character-driven fantasy…. I highly recommend checking this out.

The beginning of this show is fascinating, and there are some laugh-out-loud moments. There are some elements of this series which are borderline reality, and that is really the fantasy that I love best. ОК. This wasn't necessarily unique, and yet it's so imaginative. 

The main plot treads some well-known ground, but I find that’s really where the main positive element comes in, sometimes stories don’t need to utterly surprise us to be worth. There is a lot of creativity on display in the smaller details - the music, the costumes, the magic, the problems that need to be solved and the ways it allows the characters to interact.
I found it well-written and fleshed out. It doesn't have an overabundance of explanation and details, but nor does it have a big of plotholes.
The pacing is a bit too slow. For example, romance is incredibly slow burn, and I would have liked it to have progressed a little further by the end.

Overall I speak gush about this series all day but just know it is was utterly funny, charming and delightful from beginning to end.
