I didn't really care for any of the characters in the book and I don't really care for any of the characters in the DVD, in fact my brain had blotted out most of the events of the books so it was almost that I was coming to this fresh.

It's basically a US version of Harry Potter, with some echoes of Narnia, only with spoilt rotten college kids and a lot of sex and while I might watch season 2 (cause that cliff hanger at the end of season 1 is epic) I really don't have any great urge to do so.

A magical world depicted in books is real, there's a secret college in New York State that teaches magic and there's a lot of sex and violence thrown in.

It's funny, I've been an urban fantasy and fantasy fan for years but the very gritty fantasy just leaves me cold. And they're pretty much just all brats. ( )
