I'm curious as to what all your thoughts are on SyFy's The Magicians based on the work of Lev Grossman.
I was personally a big fan of the books, but I'm still unsure about how I feel about the show. They've definitely changed a lot of elements, but it still seems fairly true to the voice of the original work. I think they did a solid job casting. Especially with Arjun Gupta from Nurse Jackie (!). Still, I can't help but feel that they are trying to appeal to the YA audience too much. I think that a lot of the tongue-in-cheek tone from the books is missing... For some reason this bothers me.
What do you guys think?
