Emerald City (TV series)

Dorothy Gale is the main protagonist of the NBC television series ''Emerald City''. A teenager from Kansas, Dorothy is thrust into the magical Land of Oz after a tornado transports her and her dog, Toto, to another world. Unlike the classic portrayal, this Dorothy is more cynical and resourceful, rapidly adapting to the dangers and challenges presented to her by the fantastical land and its inhabitants. She possesses a strong will and a surprising resilience, often finding herself caught between warring factions and forced to make difficult choices. Her journey is one of self-discovery, as she grapples with her own power and destiny within Oz. Throughout the series, Dorothy develops a complex relationship with the various inhabitants of Oz, forging alliances and facing betrayals, all while searching for a way home. Her inherent goodness and compassion, however, remain a constant throughout her trials, shaping her actions and influencing those around her. The interpretation of Dorothy in ''Emerald City'' departs significantly from the iconic character in L. Frank Baum's books and the classic film adaptation, providing a more mature and complex portrayal suited to the darker, more adult tone of the series.
