A corny, nonsense, simple movie with a billion flaws BUT it left me with a smile on my face. Not sure what else one needs from a light hearted 90 minute distraction. Definitely nothing deeper to be found in it, but if you feel like some mindlessly feel good entertainment then this is a great choice. The chemistry between the main characters was great and the scenery was beautiful. Takes me back to a simpler time when movies were short and sweet and there to make you happy... not all about the apocalypse or blood and gore. A simple happy love story! Sometimes that's all you need it to be. But again, don't expect more than that!

The word I would choose is: Bizarre. So a traumatised orphaned young teen girl is adopted into a family... and it's somehow then normal that her two adoptive BROTHERS immediately develop a love triangle with her?! Like WHAT??? But seriously, how is this okay? Cos teen romances usually end well (right?)- so living in the midst of a teen love triangle is healthy for this girl? And a healthy long term situation? That the adults are okay with it is bizarre and indicative of a poorly written and weird story. And what weirdo teenagers would gain an adoptive sibling and jump straight into hooking up. She's supposed to ultimatelyately become their sister FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES, but hooking up as horny teens is A-Okay? I can't.

The family is also unrealistically large with an unbelievable number of kids (mostly boys). Like who has 8 kids of their own and 2 cousins already living with them? It's unnecessary. A family of, say, five would have had that "big" feeling but still be believable.

And on that note- those kids are definitely neglected. They get scraps of parental attention and yet everyone makes out as if THIS is the stable family the poor girl would benefit from?! The mother couldnt even stay on the first day she arrived.

Last annoying thing- the family is in financial difficulty and they mention that looking after Jackie is "another mouth to feed". As if her wealthy parents wouldn't have left allowance in their will to cover her care??

All just bizarre and annoyingly written. I still managed to binge most of it though so I guess I shouldn't be too harsh- it somehow still manages to be entertaining.

This show is trying to be so many things, and it doesn't quite succeed at being any of them. Far too many stories, mythologies and themes all jumbled into one messy string of episodes. Character development is all over the place, magic seems far too convenient at times and totally absent at others. I don't really find myself invested in anyone or anything that the show is trying to make me care about.

Credit where credit's due though- I somehow did still find it entertaining and watched the whole season. But the reality is that it is a mediocre show, offering nothing more than some simple entertainment. So if you're looking for another GoT (the first 6 seasons), this is NOT it, but it will keep you mildly entertained for a couple hours (if you're expectations are aligned).

I haven't read the books so my criticism has nothing to do with them having changed the story, and is aimed solely at the poor acting, abysmal writing and weak story in the show itself. Clearly it's made for teenagers, which is fine, but then be upfront about that and don't target adults in the advertising and waste my time. The teenage "knights to be" are laughable in their attempt to take on an actual mission (are we supposed to take them seriously? Or maybe they'r just there for some comedic relief?). Really low quality stuff... such a pity given the gorgeous setting (and the awesome horse)

Not a particularly realistic story, but it's entertaining and the cliff hanger endings keep you hooked. Likeable characters (with the exception of annoying Hope), beautiful setting and a sweet romantic story- it's definitely not perfect but it's a pleasant way to waste a of couple hours

Keeps you really engaged and offers a great wrap up to all the storylines in the end. Not perfect in every regard, but definitely entertaining and well written. Makes for some very decent viewing. Glad i watched it- was entertained throughout and really liked the characters

The concept and effects were great- but they must have forgotten to write the script since the story ended up full of plot holes, infuriatingly stupid decision making, poor character arcs and no actual answers to how any of the magic works... I can't imagine how actual writers thought this could pass for a decent plot that would keep any viewer remotely satisfied. I watched the whole season and found it creepy enough at times that I don't think its appropriate for a young audience but its so insultingly DUMB in every other regard that I certainly wouldn't recommend it to any adult. I'm annoyed that I wasted my time watching it

A perfect show. Filled with moments that will make you laugh, make you cry, warm your heart and leave you happier than you were before you watched it

I laughed and cried throughout, and loved every moment of this epic conclusion. All of the subtle call backs to past movies made it all the more entertaining. I've heard lots of complaints about logical flaws etc, but I really think it answers as many questions as it possibly could (and tbh any more realism would be misplaced in the MCU). Was a truly memorable experience seeing all the storylines culminate in this film, and watching it in a full audience where people gasped and clapped and cheered together was the perfect ending to this whole phase.

Full of funny moments, redeeming character arcs, positive relatable messages and really touching romance and friendship. It's not supposed to be serious or logical, but it works perfectly for what it is and leaves you feeling happier than before and with a smile on your face. There were some cringy moments too but it added to the charm and didn't go overboard with it. Doesn't deserve all the harsh criticism- It's a nice mindless distraction for an hour or so, sometimes that's all you want from a movie!

I am horrified that somewhere out there a whole team of people agreed to spend time and money on creating a show that is this bad... Though "bad" is an understatement. Characters so annoying and exaggerated. Writing is terrible. Struggled to get through one episode
