Syfy’s new fantasy series The Magicians debuts tonight.
Here’s our spoiler-free review… Quentin is hipster nerd who is awkward at parties and often lost in his own thoughts and intellectual pursuits.
Hopefully, her more powerful story from the novels will emerge as the show progresses.
The most intriguing parts of the pilot are the mysteries that are laid before the audience.
There are dream sequences in which Quentin travels to the world in theFillorynovels hes so fond of.
At one point, Quentin encounters a couple of crestfallen Brakebills students whose classmates have disappeared under unknown circumstances.
Pilots are a tricky business; some suffer from bland plots, others get lost in exposition.
Fans of the Grossman trilogy and of the fantasy TV genre are both sure to be pleased.
Luckily, neither will have to wait long to enjoy the pilot.
