12 Most Exciting TV Shows Of January 2020

5. The Magicians - Season 5

Premiere Date: Jan 15th

Available On: Syfy (USA), Amazon Prime (UK)

What happens when Harry Potter goes to college? The results might not be far off from Syfy’s underrated fantasy series, as the mild-mannered Quentin is enlisted into the secret magic colleague of Brakebills.

Instead of the fairly innocent high jinks of Hogwarts, our 20-something students do drugs, have one night stands and skip out on classes...when they're not busy saving the world.

Yet, the plot isn’t just a goofy spoof scenario, the lore is rich, the characters involving and the plot filled with high stakes and disturbingly dark moments too.

With the main structure moving onto its fifth seasons, this is one of Syfy's last terrific shows that they still haven't axed. Fingers crossed it continues...
