magicians on syfy

[trywait]

anyone watch "the magicians" on syfy?

after attending their panel at sdcc in 2015, it seemed to have such promise.

especially with the premise of a magic school.

but seriously, after 6 or so episodes in, it's just not entertaining. it isn't captivating.

it's no harry potter or charmed or anything of that sort.

maybe, it's because the leads are not very good either. Quentin (Jason ralph) or penny (arjun gupta) are not exactly "man-candy."

maybe i'll read the books that it based on since it's basically background tv noise now.
