Review of Wicked City

Wicked City (2022– )
4/10
Good concept, but...
4 November 2023
Even if it were a soap opera or telenovela, the over-acted melodrama is cloyingly interfering. At times the dialog and interactions put it on par with YA-bordering on juvenile-programming.

It's like a repackaged new age children's series trying to wear mommy's makeup and adding in some PG/R rated themes and hallucinogens in attempt to hook some adult attention.

It might be summarized as an ALLBLACK wannabe version of Charmed, but even less "believable".

If it hadn't been for the uniqueness for the target audience and niche network, I sincerely doubt it could have survived long enough to air the first season without being kicked to the curb. Even the attempts at new age fantasy schlock fall short.
