John McNamara (2) (1962–)

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 show more 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. show less

A ninth-grade genius with a reputation for being a nerd wreaks revenge on his tormentors using his latest science project, by which he can invade their homes via their television screens.

I really enjoyed this first episode.
