About this show

Based on Lev Grossman's best-selling book series, "The Magicians" follows Quentin Coldwater, a highly intelligent but socially withdrawn twenty-something secretly obsessed with a series of fantasy novels he read as a child about a magical land called Fillory. Beyond that, Quentin's life is dull until he finds himself admitted to a very secret, exclusive college of magic in Upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the practice of modern sorcery. However, magic doesn't bring the happiness, adventure, and meaning that he thought it would…until he and his friends discover that Fillory is real.

This isn't a bad series, the story is patchy but intriguing for the most part. It's spoiled though by some pretty sub-standard acting, too much pointless swearing and tacky sex - it's like it's being deliberately written to appeal to a teenage mostly male audience. It's not bad, it's just not great either.

Paid for series 3 and only one episode is available to watch. Been waiting weeks for more episodes! Episode 1-10 available are on Amazon. Not impressed wasted £16 and I can only watch the first episode. Will use iTunes or amazon in future
