Jan 26, 2017 | Full Review… Dana Schwartz Observer Top Critic When combined in the right quantities, innovative technology such as heat mapping and old school analog tricks like strobe lights and hidden magnets can still be enchanting enough to charm even the most cynical of us. Jan 20, 2017 | Full Review… Alanna Martinez Observer Top Critic I enjoyed The Magicians season 2 a lot more than I did the first season. The sophomore year was way more evenly plotted than the first, even if it was sometimes hard to tell where the season was going. Jan 10, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly Top Critic The Magicians seems like the likeliest successor to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, especially its painful, unfairly maligned late seasons. Jan 30, 2017 | Full Review… Sophia Nguyen Village Voice Top Critic The well is tainted; the magic, gone for me. Jan 26, 2017 | Rating: C | Full Review… Jeff Jensen Entertainment Weekly Top Critic I love the snarky dialogue, especially Eliot and Margo's witty one liners. Aug 28, 2018 | Full Review… Melody McCune Geek Girl Authority The Magicians will sneak up on you. At first it might seem like a cheesy CW show about angst and magic at an exclusive East Coast college. But suddenly, it gets seriously twisted and frightening. May 22, 2018 | Full Review… Annalee Newitz Ars Technica The Magicians hasn't been perfect this season, and last week's episode left me with a bitter taste in my mouth, but this season finale was a solid hit. Jan 10, 2018 | Full Review… Beth Elderkin io9.com Obviously we knew the show wouldn't let the main characters stay dead/incapacitated for long. That's not how TV works. Still, how much fun was it to watch Alice's body heal itself before she went to work on saving her friends? Jan 30, 2017 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Mandy Treccia TV Fanatic There are constant reminders throughout the season two premiere and subsequent episodes about how while this show might look whimsical, the consequences are anything but. Jan 26, 2017 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Sydney Bucksbaum Nerdist The Magicians excels because it never forgets that high dramatic stakes only work when they're rooted in believable emotional stakes. Jan 26, 2017 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Emily VanDerWerff Vox The Magicians is back with a delightful and rewarding return to the world of Brakebills and Fillory. Jan 26, 2017 | Rating: 8.5/10 | Full Review… Terri Schwartz IGN Movies View All Critic Reviews (22) Audience Reviews for The Magicians: Season 2 Jan 31, 2020 Loved it just keeps getting better thomas s Dec 25, 2019 Spoiler alert, they do more harm than good to themselves and everything around them. It is a lesson in relying on sex, drugs, and alcohol to prop up a series. I left when they burned down the talking trees. all of them, and laughed about it. That was the screenwriters. I wouldn't invest any more time with that series. Pooh. Susan L Apr 21, 2019 I absolutely love this show! It's so good you just cannot help yourself from stopping in between episodes. Apr 15, 2019 Outstanding, better than season 1. Mark D Apr 10, 2019 Just as fulfilling as the first season! Nikki B Mar 02, 2019 Characters developed nicely and necessarily. Very good. devon s Feb 21, 2019 A little bit better than season 1, the storyline is getting better along with all aspects of the show. Mike S Jan 23, 2019 this is an awesome show Dec 31, 2018 I enjoyed this show! Its fun and kinda dark! Oct 27, 2018 Possibly the best tv show ever made. Im not usually into sci-fi, but this show is AMAZING! ??????????
