Normally, it’s a bad thing when a show leavesNetflix.

And you should definitely go watch it.

Shows like Shadow and Bone: The Magicians

Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

What’s ‘The Magicians’ about?

“The Magicians” is based on a trilogy of fantasy novels by Lev Grossman.

The show stars Jason Ralph as Quentin Coldwater, a graduate student at Brakebills University for Magical Pedagogy.

That’s because Fillory is a real place and the magical world is under grave threat from dark forces.

There’s also Julia (Stella Maeve), who’s a more complicated figure.

But don’t take it just from them.

Our own Kelly Woo loves this adult spin on the world of magic.
