The miniseries is a continuation of the classic novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with science fiction and other fantasy elements added.

DG, a waitress from a tiny village, is sucked into a mythical realm known as the O.Z., which is ruled by the cruel sorceress Azkadellia. Together with her allies Glitch, Raw, and Cain, DG embarks on a mission to recover her lost memories, locate her biological parents, and disrupt Azkadellia's plan to lock the O.Z. in a perpetual state of darkness. The first part of a miniseries that cost $20 million to create was the highest-rated program in its timeslot, with 6.4 million viewers; the entire miniseries would be the highest-rated miniseries of 2007. It was nominated for nine Emmy awards, winning one, as well as a Critics' Choice Award. Some critics praised the acting, soundtrack, and visual effects, while others found it excessively dark and depressing.
