In short, the series seems to forget what it is and what it should be during this season.
Since it’s following such a well-established set of tropes, “Fate: The Winx Saga” is rarely surprising — but it is strange, in a way that’s also becoming too familiar. ... By rejecting the aesthetic and vibe of its source material entirely for a pale imitation of other YA properties, “Fate: The Winx Saga” might just end up slipping through the cracks.

Such a great season 2 and after that season finale hopefully a season 3 with more than 7 episodes

If the focus was just on Bloom and how she figures out if she’s a changeling or not, that might have worked. But the “Scooby gang” approach to this story seems all too familiar, and not at all interesting.
It has questionable things to say about foster families, punitive justice, and even genocide, toying with tired both-sideisms that continue to plague TV to this day, and confuse even the show’s main cast with a lack of nuance. This may be a setup for interesting developments in a prospective second season, but unfortunately, I’m left feeling like Fate has little to offer beyond obvious pop culture references and crooning indie pop musical cues. Fate: The Winx Saga fails to dazzle at every juncture.
I love this serie

As an adaptation, this is bad. If this was called something else, it would've been okay. Let's start off with the good: 1. The storyline is pretty decent
2. The CGI is neat
3. The aesthetic of the show is also neat
4. There are some good songs used in this show
Yeah that's all I can think of on the top of my head. Now let's get to the bad:
1. I will never forgive them for whitewashing Musa and "Flora" (technically Flora's cousin, Terra. But still, why is she white???)
2. Why isn't there any Tecna? She's literally the best fairy along with Musa. If they decide to make a second season, let's hope that they add her along with Roxy.
3. There are some cringey dialogue that just wasn't needed and that could be seen as politically loaded. Those never age well.
4. This live action adaptation and the original show are so different. Literally the only things that they have in common are the character names and the show name. 5. The cast lacks character growth trough out the show.
6. There are other things that bother me about this show but I can't really pinpoint them so yeah.
With that being said, I am giving this show a 4.5/10. This has what I call the Riverdale syndrome, we wanna make a story but have no fate what so ever in it, so let's shoehorn another IP in there to make it appealing and it should work. Like I said, bad for an adaptation, okay if it was called something else.

Fate the Winx Saga has a good enough story. the acting is decent. But it is without a doubt a Harry Potter/Twilight wannabe. Yes, it is a decent show, but it is not a great show. It passes the time till the next fantastic beasts movie.

I Think the story HAD, in the past, a good potential.. As a rude fan of the cartoon, I think I expected the live action to be just like it but it doesn't.
It was so badly done. Starting with the lack of such special characters as Flora and Tecna, they simply ignored it.
2 - The lack of characterization of them as fairies, which in the cartoon is so noticeable and unique of them, they were super united and loved fashion and in the series ???? Bloom is totally ignorant and selfish all the time like she didn't wanted to be friends with them. 3 - They adultized the series without any needs talking about marijuana all the time, the love triangle between two best friends Bloom and Stella ????? Bloom was already a pain in the ass in the drawing but they made a Stella SO inferior of what she was.... It seems that at least they didn't even watch the drawing and **** everything! It was also the terrible script that made the series unbearable to watch.
I hope I do cinema to make a true good live action of the Winx Saga.
