The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Romance, Supernatural, Horror | 4.15 out of 5 on MyShows | 4 seasons | 2018 - 2020
Sabrina Spellman is half human and half witch. She is about to turn 16: on that day she will have to undergo the rite of "dark baptism" and dedicate her life to the service of Satan. Only this will mean saying goodbye to her friends and boyfriend, and Sabrina doesn't want that at all. So then she merges the two worlds, living as both a witch and a mortal girl.
"Thank you, Sabrina, for the emotion, the music, the goosebumps, the love, the friendship, the family, the Salem, the atmosphere ✨🔮 Special merci for Ambrose and Prudence. Four seasons in one breath," - Infinity_a.
"Well, this is quite an enjoyable series. Flaws can be found everywhere, so I'll only talk about the good. And there is a lot to note here: I liked the play of the actors and the way they sing. I would even focus on this: most of the time the series emphasizes acting (which is logical), and singing is just for show, but here it was a pleasure to listen to the songs! The voices of Kiernan and Jazz are a total delight! I liked the soundtracks, the setting, the costumes, the unpredictable (for the most part) plot, and most importantly - a great sense of humor) Accidents are not accidental: there are a lot of Easter eggshells, and some of the jokes are very subtle" - lougara.
"I'm actually glad the series wasn't renewed. They put a nice ending and didn't stretch the series. Of course, I will miss the characters and there are still a lot of open questions. The season turned out to be at the level of the first and second and something tells me that I will be more than once to review the entire series," - Tatyana_Y.

Fate: The Winx Saga
Action, Drama, Fantasy | 3.92 out of 5 on MyShows | 2 Seasons | 2021 - 2022
An adaptation of the animated series The Winx Club. It tells the story of five fairies who are friends and go to a boarding school of magic called Althea, where they are taught magic. The girls search for love, compete with other students, and battle monsters that threaten their very existence.
"This one of my favorite shows. It's a shame it was shut down. I don't understand that decision. The story isn't over, the series is cool, interesting, beautiful. Netflix is breaking my heart 💔💔💔💔," Ryaboshuk.
"This series wasn't meant to be exactly like winks. It's based on it, filmed really well. The second season stands an order of magnitude above the first, very nice soundtracks that increase the level of emotional surge while watching; good effects and a really good plot. It immerses us in the atmosphere of childhood, when we watched the cartoon, but at the same time keeps in a strong tension of the plot; although in some moments there was kindergarten, yes, there were stupid moves of the heroes, but where without it, without it there would be no plot" - sb122007.
"It's a shame that the series was shut down. Yeah, it wasn't perfect at all. I have so many complaints about it that you can't write everything, but it was still fun to watch. It's a shame because the show had potential. It really could have been very cool, but in the end, everything went wrong from the beginning. There's not enough shows like this now. Where there's friendship, love and fantasy intrigue. There is a lack of simple banal teen series and Winx Saga could be such a series," - rina_stay.

Legacies
Romance, Supernatural, Drama | 4.06 out of 5 on MyShows | 4 seasons | 2018 - 2022
A spin-off of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals series . Salvatore's boarding school for the young and gifted is where young witches, vampires and werewolves are raised. Here they grow up and learn to control their powers. For example, the school is attended by Klaus' 17-year-old daughter named Hope, the first ever witch, werewolf and vampire hybrid who has yet to realize how great her powers are.
"Goodbye Legacy. This series about magic and stuff, for me, was quite interesting. Especially considering it's a spin-off spin-off spin-off, and that's not something I see very often in my memory. Sort of. The silliness though has been there throughout the 4 seasons, but even with that as a backdrop I'll only have a positive impression. I will miss a lot of the characters," Ofer.
"Legacy isn't just about Klaus and Hayley's daughters, Alaric and Caroline, the next generations of werewolves, witches and vampires. It's the school itself. The legacy of the Salvatore brothers. Thank goodness for weird, sometimes failed series and seasons. But this universe is ALWAYS AND FOREVER in my heart!" -Anastasia88.
"Legacy was a good and quite interesting addition, as we went from "Wow, there are werewolves here too" to "Yeah, now fairies and dragons are the norm too." Sometimes it lacked the drama and suspense of this world, the villains were defeated in just a couple of episodes, and the main characters were endlessly resurrected. Although, maybe, there is even some charm in it, a kind of modern fairy tale. Despite everything, I will have only warm memories of the series. Characters of the universe have always been around like good friends, and every time I return to them, I feel at home," - axenassie.

The Magicians
Drama, Adventure, Fantasy | 3.95 out of 5 on MyShows | 5 seasons | 2015 - 2020

Meanwhile, his childhood friend Julia's life is going downhill: she fails to get into Breakbills and sets out to find magic outside the university.
"One of the most bizarre, absurd and funny TV series ever. A series that managed to only get better with each season. A series that was able to close when everyone still loved it, rather than being renewed for 15 seasons, draining all the juices. A series that gave me a new magical universe and fresh new faces,"- juliakey.
"I was formed as a person on this show, I grew up on this show. And I'm grateful for all the lessons it's taught me. And how I looked forward to every season? God, thank you Wizards for everything ..." - Arti_Nikson.
"I remember how in the beginning I didn't believe that such an unusual series with a craziness could live for at least one more season, and then it took off and didn't end, I was so looking forward to every Thursday. And I'm glad it's wrapped up now without dragging on or cutting off the plot," - Sotofa_Hanemer.

Vampire Academy
Romance, Drama, Supernatural | 3.46 out of 5 on MyShows | Season 1 | 2022
Lissa and Rose are two friends who attend the same vampire boarding school. Lissa is a powerful Moroi princess and Rose is a half-vampire who must protect her from the wild strigoi. Nevertheless, a mysterious bond develops between the two friends, through which they will try to cope with any threats.
"The good thing is that I read the books a very long time ago and do not remember anything thickly, except for key moments. Because of this, the series was well, very pleasant to watch. I think the actors are coolly chosen too. Rosa is a little strange, but pretty. And here is Dmitri as if all canons canon: slender, thin-nosed, pale bore, always taking all the blame and praying for salvation. x) Anyway, I was really into it," FelisSilvestris.
"I'll never betray the books, but I consider the series a separate story about a parallel universe. There's more intrigue and the drama undercuts the drama, but I like it. There are plenty of flaws, but it's only the first season," - alissia.
"The series came out dumb. You know, there are times when you want to turn off your brain and just look at the beautiful picture in the movie - this is the case. Because if you try to understand the logic of the plot and characters in this series, you can go crazy," - ViktoryMartini.

The Owl House
Comedy, Fantasy | 4.62 out of 5 on MyShows | 3 seasons | 2020 - 2023
Luz is a cocky teenage girl who accidentally stumbles upon a portal to another world. There she meets the powerful witch Ida and a little demon named King who lives in the Owl House. Luz has always wanted to be a witch, so she convinces Ida to teach her magic.
"I can't remember in my memory any truly mesmerizing animated series that made me show as much emotion as I did when watching Owl House. Everything started out banal, but gradually the world unfolded before the viewer and it became more and more interesting. It is filled with many creatures, each of which is something unique: whether it is a head with small legs and hands or huge monsters, the nature of which has not yet been revealed. The main advantage of the animated series is the excellent lore, which is written almost from scratch" - Hlebushek227.
"Here comes the end of the marvelous "House of Owl". It's very noticeable that the creators didn't have enough time to fully complete all the storylines, but they did literally everything they could for this trilogy. Thank them so much for giving such a wonderful series full of magic, adventure and wonderful emotions" - LaginirO.
"Awesome series, very enjoyable. Shows that Disney can still show class. Colorful, beautiful, with meaning and shallow. The characters are all well-drawn, the images are vivid and unremarkable," - ZerooBatS.

"Bottom line: great series with great visuals! Burton's visual style, Gusman as Gomez, a double flick for fans, a good detective story, a great dance Ortega, Ortega himself (I repeat: imho better for this role could only fit Aubrey Plaza, but is not young for this role). Of course, from the series originally expected a story in a different way, but in general satisfied, a good light series for a couple of evenings with a good story, great cast and the desire to see the second season" - karaspunk.

The series, of course, is so-so, but it fits the subject of the list
Nice to ❤
I watched everything except the Owl's House.
Sabrina, Winx and Uwensday are just awesome.
Sabrina is the rare case when the series has not lost after seasons. As the top was, so it remains.
It's a pity what happened to Winx. There was a lot of potential here.
I won't even write about Uvensday. It seems to me that everyone knows this bomb.
Legacy watched the first two seasons in one gulp, and then, as often happens, they deflated. I searched through the force.
The Vampire Academy was liked by a very unusual universe. Not just vampires. It was really addictive. But alas, he repeated the fate of Winx ...
Wizards))) I know that the series has a lot of fans))) Someone says that it's like Harry Rubbed right. But it didn't work for me, for the life of me. I watched it in the background while my husband was watching it for the third time in his life)))
On a similar topic, in addition to what is written, only animeshki come to mind: Magic and muscles, a full-time Magician, the Sorcerer's Bride season 2, exactly.
It was written long before Harry Potter, but Rowling sued the author for plagiarism and lost.
There are similar types of teachers and details. Played here by Una Stubbs, Mrs. Hudson from BBC Sherlock.
Very kind, interesting, about friendship, honesty, how important it is to be kind, to come to mutual assistance.
There is a lot of magic, I watched it with pleasure. The acting is good, all the characters are prescribed, the secondary characters are colorful too. I believe everyone, the magical world and the world of magic are great.
There is a modern version of the series, I haven't watched it yet, but the original is forever in the heart of the Vibe. There is also a sequel about college (and little Sasha Dhawan (The Great, Doctor Who, Sherlock) played here).
PS but it's not about school (in the sense of school years) and not for schoolchildren. The word School in English refers to both higher education institutions and post-secondary education, I am glad that it was highlighted in the selection... Not in the tone he deserves
And Wednesday, of course. It turned out to be very stylish.
I would also add a Secret Circle to this list. It was also a good start for the future, it's a pity that it was closed.
What is important: THE CAT IN THE COMIC IS TALKING!
It's so nice to see TV shows that you liked in one place
I advise everyone, the series are really addictive
