I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.

Loved The Magicians! I didn’t even make it through the first book and I can’t remember what on Earth convinced me to watch the show, but I’m so glad I got on board!

That’s fair, and I do remember it being explicitly discussed and still I wasn’t into it. But I am always curious to try it out again. Art hits differently at different times, after all
I wish I was a reader. I feel like I’d enjoy the books.
I don’t usually give up on books, and it’s been a long time so it’s foggy, but my impression was that it was trying too hard to be harry potter/Narnia but adult! And edgy! And I couldn’t stand Quentin or really any of the characters. I only know one other person that’s experienced both and he also gave up on the book series.
Sometimes I am curious to try the books again now, but the show is so good I’d rather just rewatch it!
Ah, thanks for the heads up on the book. It might ruin the show for me then if I tried reading it.

Audiobooks have really helped me.

I couldn’t finish season 1. Too much YA drama and it just didn’t hook me.
For some reason, every episode had me expecting that and then it would turn out to be amazing.
Edit to add: every episode I actually said, “this one will veer too far into teen drama, and I’ll have to drop out” but somehow they’d pull it off. It was really great television
