What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Alakazam alakazoo, The Magicians bids you all adieu

The Magicians (via Giphy)

‎¡Hola! In a night of many streaming options, Top Pick goes to Syfy's The Magicians for a third and final time. I watched the first season, which was quite entertaining, but then it got lost in all my peak TV watch slate. But WOT creator Emily VanDerWerff has been a loud advocate for the show since before its debut, even the latter episodes, which even fandom said the magic had diminished. I watched a bunch of clips today, and I think I love Fen... Ok, I'm putting it on the list of shows I should go back and finish. Elsewhere, Netflix puts Kim's Convenience back in business, spotlights a judicial nightmare, gives Iliza Shlesinger a sketch show, and teases your sweet tooth yet again. Oh, and haircuts at Jay's Chop Shop are back on, PBS' programs spotlight Cuba, Trisha Yearwood and her husband perform a live concert, David Blaine does tricks, Amy Hoggart studies friendships, and I loudly root for Brooke Williamson to win Tournament of Champions. 'Tis a somewhat busy night. ♪ Three thirty in the morning / Not a soul in sight / The city's lookin' like a ghost town / So here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 1!
