It fell flat to me. I love the concept of this show but I feel like in order to do it properly, it all starts with a good main character.
The main guy was SO similar to the main character of "The Magicians" he might as well have been the literal same actor. The show is almost the same as well including the setting. I was far more interested in many of the minor characters. He bothered me immensely. He wasnt likeable even 20 min into the first episode. It was cringeworthy to watch and I dont see how this could appeal to anyone above 16 years of age.
