Based on Lev Grossman's trilogy of books, The Magicians is the perfect answer if you're looking for an epic drama with flawed characters and some serious mystical stuff. At first, it's like a grown-up Harry Potter, as Quentin Coldwater discovers that he's actually a magician and attends the challenging but hedonistic Brakebills Academy, but it soon devolves into a nightmarish twist on fantasy tropes that's every bit as creepy and mystic as Lost ever was.
