Adam Blackwell and Amy Stirling met as graduate students in anthropology, both obsessed with studying the same dead language and long-lost culture. Their relationship was always... complicated. They were bitter rivals, ideological opposites, and even went out on a date once - though they’d really prefer if everyone forgot about that last thing, thank you very much. Then, they became the first two people in thousands of years capable of doing magic. Over the next five years, they became global su...

Nooooooo

I need season two immediately, please! This is EXCELLENT in every way: writing, acting, effects. I’d watch this series and I binged the season, and now I have a harbingers hangover. So good!!

Good writing except

The story is good but then they pull you out of the show with the terrible political commentary. It ruins the show. The occasional one off, fine. Almost every episode, and the escape you’re looking for from the 24/7 political commentary you face everyday, is lost.

Excellent Production, Plot and Cast

I needed a new podcast to sink into and be perfectly distracted - and this is it! The story is fascinating, the cast is top notch and I’m in love with the score. Two episodes in and I was a Patreon member ;) Totally worth it and happy to support such awesome talent!

Well written, really interesting premise. Worth the listen, however - this is more than storytelling. If it was a story that had some peripheral political elements or personalities it would be more palatable, but I came here for the witch aspect. The writers have an extreme leftist/borderline radical agenda they're pushing. I don't subscribe to either side, red or blue, and when I come to these worlds of fiction I'm looking to escape the propaganda that is forced on us in our day-to-day lives.

Not a single likable character in the entire thing

I don’t get the high ratings and praise. It’s as if when writing it, the writer decided the main characteristic for all the characters is “arrogant and unlikable”. And the dialog is just them bickering and even yelling over each other which, in a podcast, could be one the most annoying things to have to listen to. I made it to episode four when I realized I had to listen to the exact same date scene again as if it wasn’t unpleasant enough the first time around and i tapped out.
