Bones: The Hole in the Heart (2011)
Great episode but...
So I'm a huge fan of Bones (have loved David Boreanaz since Angel) and David and Emily's chemistry is amazing onscreen, you can also tell in interviews they truly enjoy each other.
This episode is a pivotal point in Booth and Brennan's relationship, I did however, find that I was slightly disappointed with this episode - a full 6 seasons of 'will they won't they', and we don't really get to experience the moment we had all been waiting for, I appreciate the writers may have felt that they had to be sensitive to atmosphere of the episode, however I just felt it was slightly anticlimactic. That being said, the death scene with Vincent Nigel Murray was heart breaking and the ship yard scene was excellent. I personally think this should have been the finale.
The Magicians (2015)
STICK WITH IT!!!
If you love Narnia/ Harry Potter, with a dark/adult twist then this is for you...
Now, I am an avid TV series watcher, and it takes a lot for me to rate a programme (this is the first time I have ever felt I needed to reviewed a series). Come episode 2 I was THIS close to turning it off as it seemed like a ridiculous teen series (vampire diaries flashbacks!) however, I came back here to read the comments... And boy was I glad I did. I initially felt Quentin was 'over-awkward', and found Julia incredibly annoying - yet come end of season 4, I absolutely adore Julia and her individual storyline and Quentin has grown massively to be a relatable hero. I love how they follow modern themes, such as mental illness, sexual assault, homosexuality etc, yet still manage to tie it in to fantasy fiction. There is dark wit, sillyness, musical numbers (fyi - they're great) as well as magic, gods and mystical world's. Honestly, it will give you a 21st century fantasy. It is wonderfully written and some truly intimate moments between characters you don't expect from a show like this. Stick with it and enjoy the mayhem.
