The Magicians

I've just stumbled apoun this new series called the magicians which is a new syfy channel series i assume, as to which is based on the trilogy books by Lev Grossman.

it got my interest peak with the use of magic the plot After being recruited to a secretive academy, a group of students discover that the magic they read about as children is very real and more dangerous than they ever imagined. But will getting hooked on the thrill of magic distract them from honing their powers when they need them most?

Now think of the film hogwarts with harry potter but in a more modern day collage that you go to but this collage teaches magic & is hidden from the out side world. Now your think ok so this is just another x-men magic teaching series......that what i thought until i started watch it.

Its a little slow to start with introducing you to the main characters of the series, then it start to get weird but cool you see students doing a magical stuff with their gifts, which it great because you get this brilliant C.G.I visual effects. Now you thinking that this is just going to be light comedic story telling series.....you thinking well thats just boring why watch if it just going to be that way?

Well straight off in the first episode i can tell you this is no ordinary series, what ive seen so far is there is a era of destiny with the main character in this series with a twist, but this is no light comedic series hell no this has a very dark concept.

I have watch the full first series but this has some potential to be a good series if it hasn't been cancelled. If you like harry potter this is more of a up to date modern day harry potter with a very dark concept in magic that is actually worth checking out, im surprised they have made a film out of it .
