When Season 3 of The sensual amateur hairy sex couple videosMagiciansended with the memories of nearly every main character's magical lives being wiped to create nonmagical personas (to better protect them from an unknowable Beast who had taken over the body of their friend), there was a lot riding on Season 4 to bring that totally bonkers plotline home to something resembling coherency. How is there supposed to be a show called The Magiciansif none of the main crew have access to magic?
As of the first episode of the fourth season, there still isn’t an answer as to how the Brakebills Seven will emerge from that particular conundrum, but there’s even better news: The Magiciansis still an excellent show.

In this case, fate is Dean Fogg’s hilariously dumb idea to turn Kady, the craftiest of the main characters, into a highly proficient police detective and expect she won’t find her way back to magic and the rest of her similarly mind-wiped friends. It takes less than half of the episode to get mostly everyone in one room and the other half quickly reintroduces them to the concepts of magic and the world they left behind.
Moving quickly toward important plot points hasn’t always been the show’s strong suit, but The Magicianshas improved in that regard since largely abandoning (or stretching out, it’s still unclear) the story as it was written in Lev Grossman’s Magicianstrilogy.
That’s not to say the storylines pulled from the books were in any way worse, but comparing the first season, which struggled with pacing as it attempted to cover the first novel, to the third, which was bold enough to set a capsule episode inside a musical alternate reality that ended with the cast performing Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure,” is truly an apples and oranges situation. Weird-ass oranges. With great singing voices.
Now in the fourth season, the cumulative weirdness that seeped in through the show’s exceptionally funky writer’s room has created something that goes beyond Grossman’s books. Plotwise, The Magiciansleans in on stuff being bonkers — Alice’s imprisonment in the library sets her up to meet Santa Claus and hide a cockroach in her mouth for an uncomfortably long time; Not!Eliot murders the ice cream man for using an unfamiliar, regional term for sprinkles; and Margot’s alter ego meets a dead god playing with kittens — and it’s made the show one of the most fun and least predictable on television.
It’s easy to catch up on The Magiciansnow. The first three seasons are conveniently on Netflix, and the fourth season only recently premiered and has its episodes up on SyFy’s website. If you’re not already watching and are a grown-up Harry Potter fan, or miss Buffy, or just want to see a bunch of magic hotties engage in fantasy mayhem, it’s definitely worth your time.
