Note: The show hasn’t come out, but if will be actually good on Best TV Shows, but if it will suck it will go here.

Fate: The Winx Saga is a british-italian teen drama series based on the Nickelodeon animated series Winx Club, which was created by Iginio Straffi. It is produced by Archery Pictures in association with Rainbow, a studio co-owned by Iginio Straffi and ViacomCBS. Fate was developed by Brian Young, who also acts as the showrunner and executive producer.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) It literally tries to be another darker take on the original cartoon it is based on, but fails at that.
 * 2) * To make matters worse, the earlier spin-off World of Winx wasn’t overly dark and it had the same charm and feel as the original, albeit targeted for a slightly older demographic.
 * 3) Poor casting choices for the Winx, all of them (Except for maybe Bloom and Stella) look nothing like their counterparts from the original show.
 * 4) * The show was also accused of whitewashing/replacing characters. Musa (Who is Asian in the cartoon) doesn't have any ethnic differences and Flora (who is Latina) was replaced with a white girl named Terra.
 * 5) It shoehorns in things you see in any other adult focus show, all for the sake of edginess.
 * 6) * In Episode 3, Terra brings weed brownies to a party. In fact, there is quite a lot of drug usage all throughout the show.
 * 7) * In the same episode, the girls all get drunk when they play beer pong.
 * 8) * There is a lot of sexual innuendo and references, but thankfully there's no nudity.
 * 9) * Heavy usage of swearing. In fact, the first word said in the whole show is the word "Fuck", by a farmer. In fact, the word is used again in the same scene, which is just the first 30 seconds alone.
 * 10) As mentioned above it doesn’t have the same charm and feel as the original show nor the mentioned spin-off.
 * 11) Very poor representation of the source material. To make matters worse, Iginio Straffi (The original creator of Winx Club) was involved with the production of this series,  In addition, Aisha is already introduced in the series at the beginning, while in the original show she was introduced in the 2nd season.
 * 12) Akin to other gritty reboots like Riverdale, the show can take itself way too seriously.
 * 13) Due to the aforementioned reasons, it’s an odd chance for the series to be targeted at young adults compare to the original show being targeted at pre-teens and teens (though it got dumbed down for kids in the final 4 seasons.), like an excuse of saying that they’re older now for those who watched the original show.
 * 14) Some characters from the original series are absent, like the aforementioned Flora being replaced by Terra, Tecna also being completely absent and the Trix (The main villains of the original cartoon) are also absent, only to be replaced by a generic villain.
 * 15) While the special effects, for the most part, are good-looking, there are some instances where it can look downright fake and unrealistic.
 * 16) Alfea now looks like some sort of generic clone of Hogwarts from Harry Potter. (Ironically Harry Potter was one of the inspirations for the franchise.)
 * 17) Bloom is portrayed nothing like her cartoon show counterpart, as she’s portrayed more selfish than she was in the original show, to the point where she is unlikable.
 * 18) * Likewise a few of the other characters are also portrayed differently.
 * 19) The soundtrack feels generic at best.
 * 20) The dialogue is extremely cringeworthy and laughable, such as when Aisha, says "You're a fucking fairy," to Bloom, this makes it even worse due to overuse of swearing.
 * 21) The writing is really atrocious, because of this plot-holes can be commonly seen, and sometimes the plot can be really confusing.
 * 22) * In addition it's even a lot more confusing if you haven't watched the original series.
 * 23) All other than that, it feels more like a giant middle finger for those who liked the original series, rather than a tribute to it, or a faithful adaptation.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Most of the special effects are really good-looking.
 * 2) The cinematography can look beautiful.
 * 3) Some of the acting is pretty good.
 * 4) At least Dane was a likable LGBT character.

Reception
The show was met with primarily negative reviews, from critics and particularly fans of the original series, on Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 36%.
