I like many am "A Wizard of Oz" fan seeing the film countless times, and I do enjoy "Oz" spinoff's and this three part 2007 "NBC" miniseries "Tin Man" was one different and darker take on the classic tale. Still the themes of good and evil and witches and wizards, also the magic, mystery and escape is present as even after Dorothy Gale other characters are connected to the "Oz" universe. The story centers around D. G.(the attractive and sexy Zooey Deschanel from "New Girl") an ever day girl living with mom and dark she soon discovers that she lived in another land far far away. Soon D. G. finds out that's she connected to other characters on her journey and it mainly involves family and her sister("Beverly Hills 90210's" Kathleen Roberston) plays a wild card like force in all of this, and many characters along the way help D. G. and her friends thru trouble including "The Tin Man" as he finally feels some freedom also. So if you love the original and are an "Oz" die hard fan then watch this more modern darker tale which has more of a sci-fi like feel, and the cute Zooey Deschanel made it a watch with some eye candy.
