I currently enjoy watching The Worst Witch on Netflix. The 2017 series, not the 1998 one. I did watch some of the latter on TV before, but visually that sucked.

I guess I like the concept of a witch academy. I mean, I have enjoyed Wednesday as well, and Little Witch Academia. Oh, and let's not forget Harry Potter, shall we? Though I enjoyed the books far more than the movies.

Might be that I actually enjoy stories that's in the real world but have a connection with the magical unknown. I know I've read a few great books with this concept, like The Dream Merchant (Dutch: De gevleugelde kat), and The Cabinet of Wonders (Dutch: De ogen van Kronos).

Mm, I think it might be time to revisit a few books I have. Got a little itch now to check out this genre again.

@trinsec Have you seen "The Magicians" on Netflix? It's about a magical school, but for young adults, so they're able to explore certain more-mature subjects that the kid-friendly stories can't. The quality is a little uneven, but overall, it's pretty good and has some excellent memorable moments.

@LouisIngenthron No, I haven't. It looks like that isn't available on the Dutch Netflix here either.

@trinsec Ah, too bad. Maybe another streaming service got the rights there? I don't think it's a Netflix original.

@LouisIngenthron The only streaming service I can find available to us having this is SkyShowtime Nederland, and that's said to be atrocious and subpar subtitles. So, alas. Maybe in the future, I think I should jot this down. After all, I did the same for the genre 'bunch of old people solving murder mysteries'. ;)
