About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, entertaining crime series that spices up weekly cases with clever illusions and an ongoing mystery; Not for you if you dislike consultant-cop setups or want fully wrapped-up storylines like Forever.
Pros: fun magic-meets-crime cases; engaging character chemistry; intriguing ongoing mystery | Cons: occasionally silly plotting; some predictable turns; unresolved loose ends
