A Bite-Sized Drama That Struggles with Execution
Can I call this a “rotten tomato” without offending anyone who enjoyed it? I was initially curious about the premise, and with episodes only about three minutes long, I ended up quite far into the story before I realized it—so I eventually watched it through to the end.
However, if it had been any longer, I don’t think I would have continued. There are a few interesting subplots, but they feel underdeveloped, with not enough time given to properly explore or expand on them. While this is a miniseries and limited runtime is expected, the lack of depth still made much of the storyline feel flat overall, and Wake Up To Fantasy suffered from that imbalance.
