The Magicians: Season Two [Blu-ray]

Truly my favorite show for background noise and also to watch. It’s great and I’ll love it forever

Got hooked watching Season 1 on Netflix. Don't have cable so I only see what I can access from my Prime or my friend's shared Netflix. I was planning on waiting til Season 2 showed up on Netflix or some other free method, but after going through Season 1 again, I broke down and bought the whole thing through Amazon and watched it stretched out over 3 days.I can't top this description. "It's like Harry Potter on heroin." But I'll add what I can, having experienced almost everything from the 70s, except heroin:Love the quirky weirdness and the courage of the writers play with the presentation on occasion, without going overboard. And I actually enjoy the limitations put on them by budget, which allows the viewer to go back in time to whenever it was they were last able to imagine themselves in the story they were creating or experiencing, whether on film or in book, or in the back yard.I haven't read the books, so can't comment there, but I did end up liking Season 2 even more as the characters fleshed out. In fact, I liked Season 1 more the 2nd time I sped through it, knowing what was coming. Most shows these days don't challenge your assumptions of how characters are going act to in future events, but The Magicians did it enough to make the characters more human and interesting, while not throwing out the characteristics that make a given set of stock characters compelling in the first place, or locking in to what makes a given set of stock characters boring in the first place, depending on which characters attract one in the first place, which won't be exactly the same as those of other viewers.

I loved this show and unfortunately it got cancelled but it is worth the watch!

Great movie, watched the whole series, loved every minute of it.

I love this show, and despite what some people have said about it becoming either worse or more ridiculous than the first season, I personally find this season to be much more entertaining than the first. The first season had its merits--personal discovery, budding romance and friendships, mystery and just enough gore to differentiate it from Harry Potter, but it was definitely a more serious season. Yes, this season is more over the top, but not in a bad way. If I suddenly found myself ruling a kingdom in another world that I had always believed fictional, my incredulity would very likely make me a bit more prone to rashness, and in this season we see the characters branch out a little bit and not take themselves quite so seriously. The chemistry between them is strong, the storylines interesting and good at taking surprising turns, and the quips keep coming (Thank you, Margo!).

The DVD meet my expectations but the non Amazon vendor glued the DVD to the paper box so I had to destroy the box to get my DVD.

I love the whole series and have watched all five seasons - twice!

Couldn't wait for Season 2 to come out on Netflix & not all episodes were available on Cable or Prime Video so we purchased the whole season instead. I'm glad we did, it's a good enough show to re-watch and we enjoy the series a lot. There are some plot lines / character developments I didn't personally like. There are also things in the show that can trigger viewers - like suicide / rape / mental health issues, so be aware of that. The way they did CGI / special effects isn't the best, but it's okay. The immersion is good. Overall, it's like an adult Harry Potter / Narnia series that doesn't take itself too seriously. Can't wait for the next season. 5/5.
