‘The Magicians’ TV series gives adults the magic they’ve been looking for


Syfy’s The Magicians has been airing for a few weeks, and now that it’s had some time to prove itself, I can say with certainty that this show is one to root for.
The story is revolves round Quintin Coldwater a young man who lives in New York and happens to be obsessed with his favorite childhood fantasy novel which he spent a lot of time reading(dude still spends a lot of his adult time reading it)

Quentin then discovers that his favorite series is actually real, and he learns that he has the ability to do magic. After finding himself magically transported to Brakebills University, he gets a spot at the school to learn how to grow and control his powers.

But, of course, things can never really be that simple, can they? There’s a beast after Quentin and people like him, and despite the school being protected by wards and enchantments, beasts are let in and Quentin has to fight and learn magic faster than he’d ever expected.

The Magicians has often been called “Harry Potter for adults,” and that actually isn’t a far off comparison. Any time you get the whole magic school plot, though, you’re automatically compared to Harry Potter. But The Magicians is a unique TV experience, not just a copy. It’s more dangerous and it’s a completely different world.
