My daughter and I just loved this pilot - everything about it is great, from the character development, the dialogue and character interaction left us wanting more.
My 5-year old is fascinated with building things and loves story books like" Rosie Revere, Engineer" and "The Most Marvelous Thing", so she was thrilled that Dorothy is a fellow tinkerer and she wants to talk about all of her inventions. I liked the interaction between the mother and daughter and that sense that this had all happened before. There are great references to the original while definitely taking the series in it's own direction. The yellow brick road has turned into the yellow brick line and Dorothy's blue and white checkered shoes are reminiscent of the original's dress.
I found each of the characters intriguing and want to know more about their back stories - it seems like they have a lot of fun directions to go with and I don't see them running out of ideas any time soon.
My daughter and I were thrilled to hear that Amazon picked it up and ordered the series. They can't start airing episodes soon enough for us.
