Flights Of Fearful Fancy - S02 Review
Magic and fantasy elements sat well with great character-arcs and sorcerous creatures in the second season of "Fate: The Winx Saga". Though they had only seven episodes, each was almost an hour long. This gave the writers and directors enough room to play, and not rush the story (contrary to what some other reviews claim happened).
S02 managed to contain numerous high points worth appreciating, from teen romances and notable inter-character chemistry, to emotional plot-elements and sufficient suspense. Directors Ed Bazalgette, Sallie Aprahamian, and David Moore did notable work. Writers Brian Young, Victoria Bata, Amanda Rosenberg, Talia Gonzalez, Vanessa James Benton, Shaina Fewell, and Gregory Locklear scripted an interesting lineup of episodes. They explored important story branches, in "Fate: The Winx Saga" season 2 that fans of the show will like.
Musical scoring by Anne Nikitin was great. Engaging cinematography by Manoel C. Ferreira, Sergio Delgado, and Philippe Kress. Alluring production design. Good work on set decoration and art direction. Great FX and stunts. Noteworthy costume design by Rebecca Hale. Good hair-makeup and sound effects.
Bloom, played by Abigail Cowen, was memorable. Riven, played by Freddie Thorp, was great. Terra, played by Eliot Salt, was amazing. Sky, played by Danny Griffin, was quite good. Aisha, played by Precious Mustapha, was outstanding. Musa, played by Elisha Applebaum, was good. Beatrix, played by Sadie Soverall, was interesting. Sebastian, played by Éanna Hardwicke, was good. Grey, played by Brandon Grace, was great.
Saul Silva, played by Robert James-Collier, was notable. Sam, played by Jacob Dudman, was good. Flora, played by Paulina Chávez, was quite good. Headmistress Rosalind, played by Miranda Richardson, was great. Andreas, played by Ken Duken, was outstanding. Former headmistress Farah Dowling, played by Eve Best, was memorable.
All other cast and crew did good work in "Fate: The Winx Saga" Season 2 now streaming on Netflix.
With magic, there is always going to be the 'convenience factor' to worry about. While season 1 gave us plenty to enjoy, it just felt like they freely used magic in season 2. This reduced the script's conflict value, and made important moments feel conveniently resolved. Nonetheless, it took little away from the overall story, especially the motivations of its characters.
"Fate: The Winx Saga" season 2 boasted more than a handful of interesting moments. Performances were on point, and good soundtracks enhanced various portions of the script. The further involvement of Blood Witches and the coming of creatures like the magic-consuming Scrapers enriched this season's thrill factor. Characters like Terra, Aisha, Headmistress Rosalind, and Andreas made S02 worth watching.
Though performances and VFX kept season 2 interesting, it could have benefited from more magical and action-driven sequences. They also had room to make this season darker and more terrifying, but alas. The real action and emotion scenes were all packed into the last two episodes. Two important characters were taken out of the picture rather early, though. I'd have liked to see them contribute more near the end.
The biggest reveal of the show came in the finale episode of S02, but it was not given the grand attention it deserved. Regardless, Bloom's Dragonflame still has room to roar. The last few minutes of the season were both portentous and ominous.
I personally believe the show deserves a third round, if only to tie up loose ends and prove it can do better. Here's hoping Netflix greenlights season 3 "Fate: The Winx Saga" - preferably with ten or more episodes. As the saying goes, third time's the charm.
