Finally, something recently made me think of the 1990s version of FANTASY ISLAND that starred Malcolm McDowell, so Barb and I watched it. It got cancelled pretty quickly, but all 13 episodes can be streamed on Tubi. McDowell is fun as a Mr Rourke who's kind of evil; he wears a black jacket instead of a white one.

One of his associates is a woman with magical powers who's named Ariel, another is a dumb lug named Cal, and one episode features Rourke's daughter Miranda. I don't know if these were just in-jokey references to Shakespeare's "The Tempest" or if they were planning a bigger revelation later.

The 1990s CGI hasn't aged well at all and a few of the plotlines haven't either, but it was an enjoyable bit of TV fluff. (4/4)
