The Magicians (2015)
Could have been great
The series started out great, and stayed great for at least the first 5 episodes or so. The it went downhill. The story got gradually more boring, more cliché, and the whole series sort of closed itself in. The story could have gone so many other ways than to some cheap wonderland with lame villains with some hero sent out to save it. The characters didn't feel like they changed, at all. They just kept on being there throughout the whole season.
To make things clear, the thing that ruined this show for me was the story, it just got worse and worse. The direction, cinematography, effects, the score, and especially the writing, was great.
The show could have been great, but it turned into some lame, cliché children's story with a visibly rushed season finale.
I was hoping for something fresh, a story of modern magic. I got the same old fairytale story, and I was disappointed.
