The show is still snappy fun in between magical crisis after magical crisis. The Magicians has always been about trauma, grief, and pain, and Season 5 continues that journey in a cathartic and touching way.

It’s not the show it once was, but to the show’s own point, it’s not like it’s been “Harry Potter for adults” in a long time. 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.

The road to recovery in The Magicians’ fifth season is initially a bit... rough. ... It feels at once like it’s moving on from the loss of its central character, but also still feels like the same show I came to love.
