Join Dave and Wayne for genre television show news, a glimpse into what the guys are currently watching, commentary and analysis for this week’s episode of the BBC production Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, and our listener feedback.

This week on SciFi TV Rewatch we begin our discussion of the seven part mini-series based on a novel by Susanna Clarke in which magic returns to England after a 300 year absence. A prophecy states that two men will bring magic back to England, but there will be costs.

In our What We're Watching segment, Dave indicates he's completed three seasons of The Magicians but highly recommends the podcast Through the Looking Glass: A Lost Retrospective. Wayne explains his love of Peaky Blinders and its return for a new season.

Fred from the Netherlands hopes the Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell gets better in Listener feedback.

Remember to join the Dark (and other genre television and film) discussion on the SciFi TV Rewatch Facebook group and follow us on Twitter @SciFiTVRewatch for the latest genre television show news and podcast releases.
