I wasn't too impressed with the first one and this looks to be very similar...hm. I love the concept and I really wanted to love this series but it just feels so cheap to me, maybe it's just hard to take it seriously since it's live action.

alright just finished it.

Songs wise. Ways to be wicked and What’s my name are the best. Chllin’ like a villain was ironically fun. The rest I couldn’t care much about.
Still with the setting, would it kill them to have some horse drawn carriages? I just feel like it would work better if they weren’t holding back on the whole fairy tale thing. It needs to be more unironic. Though Fencing is infinitely better than than football - so good choice.
Evie most definitely needed this character development she was the least one developed. Almost makes the waifu list.
Didn’t really like that “Rather be with You” playing in the Step Mother’s shop, granted it was Dizzie playing it but it felt really surreal. Also, don’t think Step Mother would have let the shop be like that. She seems like the type that would have pushed for more of a “bringing culture to the slums” kind of woman.
Seriously talking Duke? Worst decision.
The Lonnie side plot really was horrible. Going by Descendants 1 only (as it seems all aspects of Descendants are seperate canons) Lonnie was a Gossip girl that didn’t seem to have any interest in sports. So this literally came out of no where.
Chad and the 3D printer. It was just hilarious.
Harry was so over the top cartoony I love it.
Uma was just great. Though still made me wish we got Freddie.
I felt like it took Mal and group WAY too long to realize that Ben was under mind control. Like come on villain kids. Also did love the uma/ben dance with “Kiss the girl” playing.
Hello Raven Queen, what are you doing here?
Wished they could have done better with Mal’s spell book. They should have shown it lying in their hang out area and show Uma probably finding it while destroying the room.
Cool to see Squid Uma vs Dragon Ma…and it’s over.
Seriously? That’s your cliff hanger.

In the end…better than the first film I suppose. Sadly not wanting me to pick up the books like I was hoping for,
