The Magicians on Syfy

Did anyone catch the premier last week? The series doesn't really start until Jan 25th.

This looks like a much darker version of Harry Potter, but not really a rip off. Some cool special effects too.

So far...I don't really like the direction this is heading.
I'll give it 1 more episode before I stick a fork in it.

Same. This had a lot of promise but I don't like any of the characters, at all. Too much emo, woe is me garbage. It tries to be edgy but the conflict feels way too forced.

Ya, pretty emo characters. Been watching it after catching the two episode premiere on a slow night. How is this not a Harry Potter rip off?

If the girl and I weren't struggling for TV content to zone on I would have stopped watching this show. As it stands unless it picks up I'm going to drop it. I may have the wrong expectations for the show, but the only thing I'm really interested in is the "Beast" lord of flies thing. The rest of it kind of drags out for me, and I'm not a fan of the characters. I will say that I do want to see the blonde in better clothes. She looks like she's hiding a nice body in there, as it stands she dresses like she's 12..

Its too slow, needs to pick up pace. I like the show though. Looks like it could be good.

It doesn't seem to have gotten any better since the start of the new season.

I watched it because I love the premise and I had nothing else to watch. Otherwise, the writers just like to make the show a hipster and emo stroke fest.

I don't care for any of the love triangle BS. It's cheesey. That whole fox thing was just stupid, and it gets even worse from there (surprisingly). I especially don't care for giving 30 minutes to a character to finally outburst his or her stupid feelings, because they're SO important to the plot and all.

Emo garbage aside, this kind of reminds me of a fictitious world where the Harry Potter books are actually real (Filory). Kind of a cool concept.

Every week I watch the show I ask myself "why am I watching this"?

To be fair I say that about several other shows as well. I find the blond and Jules..............interesting.

If they need hot sluts to sell it, its not a good show.
