Lev Grossmanin menestyskirjoihin perustuva The Magicians sijoittuu Brakebills Universityyn, taikuuteen erikoistuneeseen salaiseen laitokseen. Epäsovinnaista loitsimiskoulutusta käyvä parikymppisten ystävysten joukko huomaa, että heidän lapsena lukemiensa kirjojen taianomainen mielikuvitusmaailma on liiankin todellinen – ja uhaksi koko ihmiskunnalle. (Universal Sony Pictures HE Fin.)

Imagine a modern cross between Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia, and you have The Magicians. Well, that combination is not going to work for everyone, even though I enjoyed both, so the obvious rip-off did not bother me all that much. After watching the pilot, I even thought it might be interesting, have some atmosphere, and that the characters were not completely pointless (I would have given it a very strong three stars at that point). However, after three episodes, I got to the point where I was quite bored; Quentin's whining about how the magical world is his everything is becoming quite irritating. In addition, that ex-girlfriend of his that I was initially intrigued by is starting to act pretty weirdly too. Just as I thought the rest of the characters were quite likable, each character's behavior, unfortunately, seemed to get more irritating by the episode. That is why I am going to stop after the third episode, as I can still find a few positive things about it, rather than risk making an already weak current impression even worse. 3.5/10.

A modern-day Harry Potter set in college in a horror movie package? I'll take it! The pilot was quite enticing, likeable characters, fine magic and nice pacing. I'm liking it a lot so far. Not much on the subject of magic and spells these days. The question is how much of a horror will The Magicians be ? :)
