The Magicians is based off a Sfyf series of novels by Levi Grossman. Jason Ralph stars as Quintin Coldwater, a mid twenty something year old man who discovers that magic is real and enrolls in a school for magic. The plot develops from there and he gets involved in adventures with his fellow students.
I like the show. It is not perfect but at times it is pretty good. Jason Ralph played Quintin. The show is not just Quintin’s story but he was often the central character. He was the new student at the magic school (the entry point for the audience as it were.) The last episode of season 4 killed Quintin and Ralph has officially left the show.
Is the show a bit oversexed? At times it might have been. I think it calmed down after the first season. The show started to do musical numbers and those have been fun or moving. The cast is good, and the magic and alternate worlds are fun. The show can also be grim.
