The Magician

I was devastated when "Mr. In-Between" ended in mid-2021 after three short but fantastic seasons. I haven't explored the reasons why the show came to a screeching halt just when buzz was really starting to build but I did stumble upon "The Magician"...a low-budget 'prequel' (not an origin tale) exploring the early (?) years of Ray Shoesmith (the fantastic Scott Ryan). The ending of "The Magician" throws a timeline curveball to anyone who watched the FX series but creative license allows for the bending of time and space, right? I found the "Blair Witch" handheld camera perspective shocking and effective in a few key scenes but overall it came off as dull and tedious. Call him 'The Magician' or 'Mr. In-Between'...let's just hope someone calls Ray Shoesmith back into action soon!
