The Magicians: Season 1/ Episode 1 "Unauthorized Magic" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview I want you to imagine an American inspired by Harry Potter wanting to put their own spin on it.

State of Affairs: Season 1/ Episode 1 "Pilot" [Series Premiere] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Overview Another political show featuring White House drama with the only change being two female leads.
