What's On Tonight (Friday): *Throws Dart* THE SOUND OF MAGIC!

Who's up for a Korean musical TV series about a mysterious magician-of-indeterminate-age's relationship with a teenage girl?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Well, too bad because it's the Top Pick for today and now you are legally obligated to check it out.  All kidding aside, the trailer looks good, but musicals, particularly non-comic ones, always give me pause (anything Sondheim and Les Mis are the exceptions).  I don't think I'm alone in that so don't expect this to become the next Squid Games.

Bosch: Legacy breaks the cardinal rule that if you want people to miss you then you need to actually leave for a while.  Not surprisingly, Bosch cares not for rules, cardinal or otherwise.  You can watch it on Amazon Prime, but this is actually on Freevee (FKA: IMDb TV).  Because you know what was the one thing all the fans of the original Bosch series were clamoring for?  Ads.

Over at CBS there is the fourth season finale of Magnum P.I. and the twelfth season finale of Blue Bloods.  I'm honestly more surprised by the longevity of the former.  I mean, this Magnum doesn't even have a 'stache.  Why do you think Blue Bloods has lasted so long?  It's all about the 'stache.

Elsewhere, Shudder has a new horror film about twins called, appropriately, The Twin.  Apple has a new docuseries about a guy who stole a billion dollars from Social Security and surprisingly is not an elected member of Congress.  And OWN has a new soul food cooking competition show, which might be the first show that ever aired on OWN that I had the faintest amount of interest in.
