After being recruited to a secretive academy, a group of students discover that the magic they read about as children is very real and more dangerous than they ever imagined. But will getting hooked on the thrill of magic distract them from honing their powers when they need them most?
what makes this television services stand out is its amazing hard-hitting, edgy script that defies traditional storyline plots. Taking Harry Potter to new heights, this foul-mouthed, sexy version of magic offers up a Naria that is far and away mature, dealing with death, intimate relationships, betrayal, and plot-twists that elevate this series beyond the tame, juvenile pablum that has been produced so far. Oddly enough, the perhaps only weakness to this series is the sincere effort that scriptwriters have gone to be so different as to almost seem manipulative and desperate to ensure the audience experiences something truly different. This much darker and serious take on magic informs and reflects nicely on contemporary life in today's societal complexity. One on the most daring, bold magical presentations out there. Well worth the effort to watch, if you dare to experience the darkness with a glimmer of smudgy hope.
