TV show description:
A fantasy drama, this TV series is based on the Land of Oz book series written by L. Frank Baum. It’s the tale of a young woman finding her true strength and identity as she battles to bring a divided world together.
While searching for her mother, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona) is swept up into the eye of a tornado and transported to a mystical world. It’s where an all-powerful ruler called the Wizard (Vincent D’Onofrio) governs over one kingdom, has outlawed magic and faces a looming disaster brought on by a mythical force — as well as the wrath of a growing cauldron of witches.
While on her path to find her way home, Dorothy comes upon a wounded soldier named Lucas (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) and a young man, Jack (Gerran Howell), who’s attempting to free his best friend Tip (Jordan Loughran) from a mysterious woman (Fiona Shaw).
Meanwhile, in Emerald City, Glinda (Joely Richardson) and West (Ana Ularu) come together to say farewell to their fallen sister, The Wicked Witch of the East (Florence Kasumba).
Elsewhere, the Wizard sends Eammon (Mido Hamada) on a mission to discover what fell from the sky and disturbed the Land of Oz.
Episode #10; “There’s No Place Like Home”
First aired: March 3, 2017. The battle arrives in Emerald City as sleeping giants arise. Tip and West (Ularu) arrive in Emerald City seeking vengeance. With a renewed confidence, Dorothy faces off against the Wizard and fights to save Oz from his oppressive reign. Meanwhile, Glinda brings her power to the battlefield as the threat of the Beast Forever looms. [Courtesy of NBC]

I thought it was terrible- A true distortion of what children have to live. Get rid of it and bring back Devious Maids!
RENEW IT
I loved this show. It was cool to see the dark side of Oz. please don’t cancel this show!!!
Of corse it will be cancelled. Look at NBC’s track record, where, ‘Star Trek,’ and ‘Hannibal,’ were dropped, among others.
The network’s short-sightedness about “Star Trek” is a great analogy and a stellar example of history repeating itself! Let’s hope fan enthusiasm for “Emerald City” can similarly pull the show from the brink.
one of the best shows in years for me..i really hope it will be renewed..a fantasy world like no other alongside the stories of Golden Compass and Chronicles or Narnia..i wish ppl will be more into this kind or shows aswell not only war and dramas..we live in a world full of drama i dont need that in a show aswell..i ned something to take me somewhere else ..and this is spot on!
With you 100% on this one, Nick!
I believe the series should be renewed, but it should also be conclude within a few episodes. American TV (and yes I am American) tends to push story lines well past the point of good storytelling. “Lost” being a prime example. Or they leave us hanging; ex: Firefly. I think this is a good show, but it should be wrapped up. The plot line of the Beast Forever must be concluded. Make it a good story. Give faithful watchers a story to remember.
Not sure how much of the Oz stories the writers can adapt to extend the show’s run. If they can do it in good quality, I’m all for it. But the network at least owes its viewers a satisfactory end to this plotline. And another season with a great story like the Beast Forever war may expand the viewing audience to more acceptable numbers.
Love the show and hoping it will continue for the second season!
