* FridayNightDeathSlot: Poor ''Series/EmeraldCity''. It didn't help that it went through DevelopmentHell and was cancelled in production before [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell it came back,]] but it was saddled with the infamous slot, causing its rating to be crappy. The result? Cancellation after ten episodes. [[CultClassic The ever-growing fanbase]] are calling for the show to be moved to {{Creator/Netflix}} or another streaming service, and some are even calling for a second season to be made as the show was [[LeftHanging cancelled on a cliffhanger.]] Even Creator/AnaUlaru, one of the actors of the show, would be happy for a second season. Sadly, we may never know of the show's fate, but it might as well be dead for good. [[TooGoodToLast Shame.]]

** Dorothy is shown crashing to Oz in a police car, later takes a leather jacket and gun from the trunk, and even finds herself escorted by a police dog in the pilot episode. One of Adria Arjona's earlier characters was Dani Silva, a recurring police detective from ''Series/PersonOfInterest''.
** Creator/AnaUlaru played a [[Film/AVeryUnsettledSummer relatively sexually active character in the past,]] but Maria was more of a seductress than West was.

* BrokenBase: For the same reason as Literature/TheWickedYears. DystopianOz, nothing new. But when the misogynist aspects of said DystopianOz start coming out frequently in a novel series designed as a feminist fantasy (feminist by the standards of the era it was made), it gets ''very'' divisive.
