If you want science fiction that respects its own premise, The Worst Witch is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. The 4-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 206 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch it for Lydia Page — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

The Worst Witch is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. What makes The Worst Witch work is that the ideas never crowd out the people having them. Mayhem and mishaps follow young witch Mildred Hubble wherever she goes. She just can't help it! But with her friends' help, Mildred always manages to avoid disaster just in time. The human element stays intact thanks to Lydia Page and Megan Hughes, who anchor every scene. 4 seasons (2017–2020) gave the story room most shows never get. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find The Worst Witch genuinely rewarding. Viewers who responded to Wizards of Waverly Place will find a lot to like here too. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Lydia Page's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.

The Worst Witch wrapped up in 2020, created by Jill Murphy and Brian Grant — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
