Just like Riverdale and Sabrina, Netflix took another childhood favourite and changed it into a live action, dark teen drama, full of action, suspense, mystery, and of course teen angst!

At first, I wasn't sure if I would like this; got slow halfway through, but things got interesting in the second act, especially the last episode; and the ending, I did not see that coming!

Thank you Netflix, for making Winx Club bad ass!
I really can't wait for season 2.
