🎄 The Magicians: Christmas Is Hell 🎄

Season 1, Ep. 587
•

Not for kids!

Welcome to the most dysfunctional holiday season in the afterlife. Coroner Blake Alexander—aka the Grinch, aka the King of Death—is drowning in paperwork, murder cases, and reapers dressed as Santa Claus. When a Manchurian candidate turns up dead and Blake gets shot investigating, his serial killer son (who moonlights as an elf) must save him before Christmas cheer kills them both.

From haunted malls to morgue carolers, this supernatural noir comedy dives deep into festive madness, cosmic bureaucracy, and family drama with a twist of dry wit and electric chaos.

🎅 Murder. 🎁 Reapers. 🎄 Tinsel.

It’s not just Christmas—it’s a very grim Christmas.
