Based on Lev Grossman’s best-selling books, The Magicians TV show is set at the secret Brakebills University for students of magical ability. Grad student Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph) spends more time immersed in a fantasy book series than living his life. When he and his best friend Julia (Stella Maeve) are transported to Brakebills for an entrance exam, their world changes forever. The Syfy cast also includes Olivia Taylor Dudley, Arjun Gupta, Hale Appleton, Summer Bishil, Jade Tailor, and Rick Worthy.

What do you think? Do you like The Magicians TV series on Syfy? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
The plots are disjointed and derived from a debased, evil thought process. They push all of the worst human attributes, sloth, greed, perversion, drug use, rape, foul language and people depicted in the most reprobate lifestyles. Essentially a sick fairy tale. The acting skills of most of the cast is pretty bad. I would say keep this going, just as an example of how bad things have become. Gilligan’s Island made more sense than the plots for most of the episodes of The Magicians.
The worst series I have ever seen , I only watched the first season which a bunch of amateurs could beat the villain Master.
So bad, Stopped watching this after that kiddy fight.
