The Magicians: No Better to Be Safe Than Sorry (2019)
Amazing, beautify made and moving episode
I have seen this episode many times at this point and it moves me every time I watch it. Was it the ending people wanted? no. But did it move you? Did you feel something? absolutely. This is one of the most emotion evoking episodes in a series I personally have ever been able to enjoy.
Something I really appreciated in the books were the endings, they never resolved how you would hope they would. Instead they ended realistically and for better of for worse showed the consequences of their actions. It feels like in the show, they maintained that real world gritty feel in every season finale, and this episode was no exception.
This episode is well filmed with some fantastic cinematography, especially in the last quarter of the episode which was passionately acted, beautifully shot and amazingly edited with the music. No matter what your opinions may be of what happened in the show, I am sure we can all agree that this episode will make you feel some emotions.
Wu Assassins: Ladies' Night (2019)
Disappointing
I have been enjoying the series so far but this episode makes me consider if I actually want to continue the series.
The poor episode formatting was already talked about in another review but this episode makes a lot of poor choices beyond the overdone skipping back a few ours formula. The episode felt like it had odd plot holes, questionable use of the weaknesses of the Wus, and left the watcher pondering the believability of the choices all the characters made.
