This show isn't about magic. This show is about very annoying, neurotic people in a soap-opera style setting. 3 Episodes in and I don't think that there's one character I like (definitely not the amazingly annoying anxious emo lead. Think Woody Allen without any humour or charm), nor a character relationship I believe.
There really is very little magic or spells in the show, so all you are left with are the neurotic, peppy, ridiculous, New-York-upper-class characters (who look more like parodies than actual characters), more befitting a particularly bad episode of Gossip Girl.
What really amazes (and saddens) me is that they managed to create a "magical world" devoid of any charm. I really wanted this series to be good, but the magic simply isn't happening, and this is not a world I want to step into, and not one I want to have in my life for 45 minutes a week. Expelliarmus.
