Don't expect Magicians-caliber writing. Honestly, when I saw the trailer, I looked at my husband and said , the acting will be awful, the sfx awesome, and the story meh. But, I was wrong. It's less pithy than Magicians, less clever, but it's well written, most of the acting was good-some really good (the villain is outstanding).
Cons:
The lead characters have no chemistry.
The lead female character is bland and boring.
The lead male needs more of a character development. He starts off more interesting and then a couple of really big plot points that could have been a major development stages just sort of...changed behavior not the character himself. As in, it felt like he was acting a certain way because that was the script not because of these life changing events. Missed opportunity on the writers' part.
The ending made me nearly throw something at my TV. Rawr.
