Returning to the challenging and struggles that follows a group of students, who join Brakebills, a secret school for magicians, where they struggle against finding out that magic is really and so dangerous. In this new season, Eliot and Alice, make their mind to go to a hike.
Just like grief, Season 5 of The Magicians makes it feel like he could turn up at any moment-in golems, shrouds, and dreams. And, just like grief, it's painful when he doesn't.
If it can find a way to tie together these various mourning, screwed-up heroes, and have them keep battling their way toward the best versions of themselves, there's probably always going to be a good reason to watch The Magicians.
