I give Netflix an E for effort. The school reminds me of Brakebills in The Magicians, but instead of being a school where everyone is magical and different ages are accepted, Belgraves is a normal college, except for a few students who can do magic. It is about an Order and the new members cater to the older ones, just like in a frat or a sorority. The difference is the main character, Jack, who wants to expose the order as the cause of his mother's death, but gets caught in the middle of something he didn't expect when the primary mission was to get into Belgraves and the order. The show is different, but yet similar to the other shows and movies about magic where the main character or characters enter into a school to learn magic or already know how to do it and refine their abilities.
