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...

Phenomenal show!

Amazing, sweep-me-away entertainment. Love the story and the acting. They’ve established the most incredible protagonists: Him, who’s always the right guy at the wrong time, the one who absolutely does not want to be at the center of it all. And Her, who wants to be at the center of it all, sometimes creates lightening storms when she does, but truly has the best of intentions. These two are the best oil and water. You can tell how people itching about the show being “political” just don’t like good drama. The tension between greed and humanitarianism, about seeing to the self vs. seeing to the whole is exactly what makes this show so great. Listen. You won’t be able to stop.

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, but not for everyone

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.
