    After the very good season 3, this one is kind of a deception. The plot was slow pace and seemed really stretched out. There was a very boring singing episode. The ending was very touching and I like it but in many respect, it was a rushed ending. Like they couldn't calculated how to balance it sooner. The acting was unequal. The story was making solutions on the go too often. Season 4After the very good season 3, this one is kind of a deception. The plot was slow pace and seemed really stretched out.

Kind of a useless season which you can watch a couple of episodes and be done with it (something Margot would say).… Expand

    The story is not so interesting and unfortunaltely most of the strong non-male characters are loosing momentum in this season. Room for impovement in the next season.

    The writers blast all kinds of arcs in your face, and the fractals come at you with full force. But no matter how many layers of latex pile onto an actor's body so they can become an amphibious beast or a hircine god, the feelings are always real and the stakes are always high. The Magicians demands that its characters sacrifice love for magic, but I would never demand that The Magicians sacrifice energy for coherence.

    The Magicians is provocative, entertaining, perturbing, and sometimes messy. But it is never boring.

    The Magicians Season 4 reboots its characters in exciting ways without losing any of the charm and anarchy that makes the show so delightful. Impossibly, it’s a serialized, character-driven sci-fi series that shows no signs of slowing down, and is opening up compelling and refreshing new avenues of storytelling that are grounded in emotional truth and a willingness to get funky.
