    they should have discontinued the series after the 2nd season. s03 was already bad but s04 and s05 are horrible. in season5 all characters are just sterotypes and there is no real overarching plot, just many loosely connected plotlines...waste of time

    The road to recovery in The Magicians’ fifth season is initially a bit... rough. ... It feels at once like it’s moving on from the loss of its central character, but also still feels like the same show I came to love.

    It’s not the show it once was, but to the show’s own point, it’s not like it’s been “Harry Potter for adults” in a long time. If it can find a way to tie together these various mourning, screwed-up heroes, and have them keep battling their way toward the best versions of themselves, there’s probably always going to be a good reason to watch The Magicians.

    The show is still snappy fun in between magical crisis after magical crisis. The Magicians has always been about trauma, grief, and pain, and Season 5 continues that journey in a cathartic and touching way.
