Has anyone seen Don’t Trust the B in Apt 23? I loved that show when it was on. Such an underrated show. I’m rewatching it. Just realized Olivia Taylor Dudley, is the friend they visit in the Hamptons.

she’s literally the most annoying character ever lol it’s so hard to sympathize with her & her acting is so bad…

Mm-noom-ba-deh

The scene with Julia trying to solo cast the "hook" thing to heist Marina. Starts about 27:23. Anyone know what is playing for this scene?

So I recently got the books after watching the show and being obsessed with it. I'm half way through the first one and I'm really enjoying it. I do have one issue though, I kind of 'jump scare' myself (I don't know a better way to word it) any time I read the descriptions of any of the characters because in my head I keep picturing the TV Show versions, like whenever it mentions Alice's black hair and Eliot's jaw my brain skips and I have to pause to remind myself of their book appearances.

I'm curious what other people's opinions were either having read the books first and seeing the cast or watching first and then reading their book descriptions.

I just finished the series last night for the first time. Emotionally i am NOT okay, what a beautiful piece of media that will stick with my forever. I think I even dreamt of the show, and cannot stop thinking about it!!

Hey! I am looking for BluRays of the show, but amazon only has like Season 1 and Season 5. There is a Boxset for ~120€, but it seems like only Season 1 is for Region B, and the rest for Region A according to some reviews.

Do you have any recommendations for Europe? Thank you!

I found this guy who does reaction videos and he's watching The Magicians. He's almost finished with the first season. I just love this show so much, I'm excited to see someone else get into it.

Also, since the show is not on any streaming services now (that I know of) it's the closest I can get to a rewatch atm. Check it out if you need some magic ✨ in your life

If you're a reader, you should check out The Bright Sword 🗡️ It's by Lev Grossman and it's a new story based on King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. I just finished it and it was fantastic.

If you had to only pick ONE, what would it be?
