If you are a fan of Harry Potter, you may be interested in tonight's two hour premiere of The Magicians on SyFy. Based on the popular book by Lev Grossman, the more mature tale involves "adults" you are whisked away to a secretive Brakebills University where their magical powers are tested in many ways.
This trailer shows how Quentin Coldwater, the main character, is introduced to this new society.
I watched the first episode and liked what I saw. Unlike other new shows, such as Shadowhunters, the characters are better defined, the special effects more believable, and the story better told as you move slowly into the plot.
Update: After three episodes SyFy believes it has a winner on its hands and has renewed the series for a second season of 13 episodes. Three cheers for the Harry Potter generation looking for adult heroes.
