Saw it on TV and it felt like someone took the cult 80's movie, added a dash of sitcom chaos and let the genie out of the computer.
Based on the 1985 film, the series follows Gary and Wyatt, two high school misfits who use their computer to create Lisa, a stunning, all-powerful woman with a heart of gold and a knack for turning teenage problems into magical mayhem.
Vanessa Angel steps into the iconic role with charm and sass, while the boys stumble through adolescence with explosions, time warps and wish granted disasters.
The tone? Pure ’90s teen comedy with a sci-fi twist.
It’s cheeky, cartoonish and packed with pop culture references.
While it doesn’t match the movie’s edgy John Hughes vibe, the show finds its own rhythm, especially in later seasons when the plots get wilder and Lisa’s powers go full genie mode.
Revisiting a show that didn’t just adapt the movie, it captured it, then ran with it in every direction.
From Chett’s over the top bullying to Lisa’s heartfelt pep talks, it’s a nostalgic ride through the dial-up era of wish fulfillment.
