'The Magicians' Best Line Still Hits Like a Punch to the Gut 6 Years Later

In the ever-increasing number of fantasy shows on TV, The Magiciansis unique. The 2015 series, based on Lev Grossman's novel trilogy, ran for five seasons, telling a thrilling story about magical abilities and fantastical worlds. Yet, while the show uses the much-loved concept of a magic school, it quickly turns dark. Brakebills University for Magical Pedagogy is not for children. Instead, it serves as an elite university for aspiring magicians, enabling the series to take a more mature approach to the subject. The Magicianstakes advantage of this by exploring the characters' deep traumas throughout the story, but one thing remains consistent.
