Episode 329 Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell S01E07 A Spell to End Magic in England

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 discuss the series finale and consider how England will react to the re-emergence of magic.

In our What We're Watching segment, Dave suggests checking out the Apple TV + literary series Dickinson whose use of anachronistic dialogue helps drive the half hour episodes. Wayne disagrees with many critics as he touts the HBO series Watchmen and asks viewers to consider there's more to a show than rigidly following the source material.

In Listener Feedback, Fred's wife makes an appearance, but he can only give Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell a passing grade. Not bad, but not great.
