Welcome to Brakebills University, a secret and magical institution intended to educate its students in all aspects of magic. With that in mind, we’ve put together a comprehensive collection of TV series about witches and magic that explore all types of magic! The Magicians, SyFy (2015 – 2020) We all need a little magic in our lives every once in a while, even if it is just vicariously through our favorite enchanting TV shows. I mean, who said that magic was limited to tricks, illusions, and witches? After all, doesn’t magic pretty much cover what we’d perceive to be unexplainable, supernatural, and mysterious? That could include spells, incantations, potions, sure – but also superpowers, unexplained phenomena, and the occasional vampire, werewolf, or demon, too!

I’m looking at you, J.K.!Įven outside of that phenomenal fandom though, the realm of magic is so vast that there’s a plethora of potential creative inspirations to explore and expand. Although I really think someone needs to get on that real quick.

P.S.This article contains affiliate links. JAPANESE ANIME > KOREAN DRAMAS > TAIWANESE DRAMAS > JAPANESE DRAMAS > CHINESE DRAMASīut there are exceptions to this rule, and I will report them in my reviews. I don’t include Chinese dramas because of the horrible censorship, the forced redubbing and the soulless direction.įor your reference: in the asian drama world usually the quality goes in this order: I have included Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese dramas. Also dramas like Gokusen are out of the list because of lack of romance (yes, there is a latent attraction hinted between shina and yankumi in the series, but it never become a romance), even if I consider it a masterpiece. On the other hand a drama like Switch Girl is a true school drama from the beginning to the end, but it is awfully directed and not worth watching, so I didn’t include it.

My criteria for inclusion is based on three rules:ġ) it must be a true school drama (not just a drama with few scenes in school)ģ) it must include some elements of romance (no school drama can be called such without having some love in it)įor example a drama like Pinocchio is very good, but only few episodes have school life as setting, so I didn’t include it. School dramas are the best! This is my ranked list of the best school and college dramas I’ve seen so far.
