Think 'Narnia' if the wardrobe led to therapy and morally questionable magic. Witty, meta, and stuffed with deep-cut lore references.

It’s this balance between semi-R-rated fun and sci-fi ingenuity and emotional candor and character-focus that has made The Magicians a consistently satisfying watch these past seasons.

Common Sense Media

"Be warned: This adventure is no mere children's tale," and as a result, it's best left for older viewers.

IGN

The series had confidence in its own strengths from the beginning, even if it was only just introducing itself to its audience, and that daring and fearlessness continued throughout the season's entire run.

IMDb

The plots are craaaaazy, Alice in Wonderland level crazy, and characters keep growing with the story and changing which is surprising because I never would have guessed it from season 1.
