Suppose to be able to put sites on the exclude list but it won’t take. I’ll check Amazon Prime. Must be. I just pulled it up on Netflix, again from the United States, and the whole thing is there. ---

It’s on Amazon here in South Africa. I love the show. Even Season 5. But I did miss Quentin. ---

I’ve watched the two first seasons twice, and twice bogged down watching the start of season 3. The interplay between the normal world and “Not-Narnia” made for some really though-provoking episodes. The cast and design of the world is great. I love the practical effects like the finger-gymnastics they do when spell-casting. Question: The least fun is them being kings and queens of Fillory. How big a role is that in the later seasons? ---

Season 1 done. I love the almost 4th wall break explaining the invisible castle. ---

Re how to watch it where you live, I’ve found [playpilot.com](http://playpilot.com) invaluable for these kinds of questions. ---

Season 2 episode 9, “Lesser Evils” is their first musical number and quite awesome. So much going on this episode. ---

Just watched one of the best episodes, “All That Josh”. Season 3. Culminating is the 8 questors singing Under Pressure. ---

I just watched the last 2 episodes of season 4. That would have been an all time finale to a series. Such a good show. But I know season 5 had some good stuff. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-magicians-rewatching/977901.md?page=1)
