Set in a magical 21st century kingdom, the evil Queen (Dianne Wiest) casts a spell on Prince Wendell (Daniel Lapaine), transforming him into a dog. However, the Prince escapes by jumping through a magic mirror which transports him to New York - the 10th Kingdom - where he is befriended by Virginia (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) and her father, Tony (John Larroquette). Travelling back through the magic kingdom, the group attempt to locate the mirror and reverse the spell while being pursued by three evil trolls and the Queen's ruthless huntsman (Rutger Hauer).

In my opinion, this a terribly underrated series, perhaps one of the best that has ever been made in the foreign fairytale field. What’s worth mentioning above all is the unique idea that gives us a glimpse into nine beautifully rendered fairytale kingdoms teeming with princesses, witches, trolls and dwarves. But what I like the most is that The 10th Kingdom is just as dedicated to adults and parents as it is to their little ones, with a story full of light-hearted humour that makes everything even more enjoyable. I have no reservations about the casting either, on the contrary, actors like Scott Cohen, Dianne Wiest, Ed O'Neill and especially the demon hunter Rutger Hauer fit their roles perfectly and perform them in the best possible way. If there were more limited series like this, I wouldn't turn away from the TV for the Christmas holidays. Great.
