An epic substitute for Game of Thrones embarks on its final season

A Netflix magic show will leave you laughing more than asking how he did that, Discovery pits man versus beast, and IFC imports a silly U.K. comedy. Hello! Eighteen fandoms enter, one fandom leaves! It’s Mad Max: Beyond Fanderdome here at TV Guide, as our annual search for the best TV fandom is underway. We’ve whittled down the best series obsessives to 18, from Arrow to Lucifer to Outlander to Under the Dome. OK, maybe not that last one, but I lobbied hard for it. (Julia Shumway for life!) To vote for your favorite show, all you need to do is [head to the Best TV Fandom HQ]( or [check out this Twitter thread]( find your show, and click a few times. Will Supernatural repeat in the show’s final season? Or will someone new step up to flex their fandom? Show your loyalty, then come back here for tonight’s TV picks. –Tim [Your Watch This Now! newsletter is created by Senior Recommendations and Reviews Editor Tim Surette and more show-obsessed editors at TV Guide!]( WATCH THIS NOW! [Magic for Humans]( [Magic for Humans will make your boredom *poof* disappear]( Season 2 on Netflix Street magicians usually look like rejects from a Christian emo band and have egos the size of a South American dictator’s, making sitting through a special on magic unsettling at best. But you should resist your temptation to skip over this magic series, because the man doing the tricks — Justin Willman — is an absolute delight. Willman counters the manufactured cool of typical magicians with self-deprecation and tricks set up like a sketch show, letting the awe of his performance provide the wonder instead of hand gestures and guyliner. One particularly good gag is his “Magic for Susans” bit, where he performs simple tricks for people named Susan. Killjoy skeptics will call bogus on everything — no one is saying magic is real, guys, and televised magic is particularly prone to targeting — but many of the tricks themselves are spectacular works of sleight of hand and the formula of packaging them together with certain topics like self-control or technology ties it all together. However, it’s Willman’s mastery of the set-up that makes him watchable even if you aren’t a believer. VALHALLA AT ME [Vikings]( [It’s the beginning of the end for Vikings]( Season 6 premiere Wednesday at 9/8c on History The search for the next Game of Thrones has been underneath our noses all this time! History’s Vikings has all the brawny bros and fierce femmes of HBO’s hit without all the incredibly high expectations and aggressively critical fans, making it a sprawling drama about power and blood that’s severely underwatched. Though we’re seasons past the story of Ragnar Lothbrok, his sons continue to duke it out for control. And as a show that’s notorious for killing off its biggest stars, Season 6 will be fatal will many. BEAR WITH ME [Man vs. Bear]( [In Man vs. Bear, the bear always wins]( Series premiere Wednesday at 9/8c on Discovery For too long, man and bear have coexisted peacefully — it’s been 16 years since world famous weiner eater Kobayashi tried to out-eat a Kodiak on Fox’s Man vs. Beast. But the apex predator of North America resumes its position as man’s enemy in Discovery’s Man vs. Bear, which is exactly what it sounds like. Each week, three human-sized human contestants go up against three bear-sized bear contestants and lose very badly in a series of challenges involving strength, agility, and, for some reason, eating. Thankfully for the humans, they’re competing against each other, because these bears absolutely destroy bodybuilders, MMA fighters, and other athletes in events like tug-of-wars and extremely-heavy-object rolling. I’m still trying to figure out if Man vs. Bear is entertaining or not, but it certainly has the spectacle. Don’t worry: The bears involved are all rescue animals living the good life in a wildlife sanctuary, not wild animals captured for our entertainment. CHEERS! [Toast of London]( [Raise a glass to Toast of London, mate]( Series premiere at midnight on IFC The latest comedy to join IFC’s late-night block of shows to get stoned to is Toast of London, an import from the U.K. that stars the baritone bigwig of London laughs, Matt Berry. Berry — who recently became more familiar to U.S. audiences as What We Do in the Shadows’ Laszlo — plays Steven Toast, a bumbling and flailing actor who chases success unsuccessfully. It’s relentlessly silly, mocking the lower tiers of showbiz while letting Berry do his thing, and it’s loaded with equally despicable side characters. Toast of London also shows off Berry’s musical talents each episode with an original song-and-dance number, which only magnifies the surrealness of the show. New episodes will appear every Wednesday, but if you’re impatient, all three seasons (18 episodes) are also on Netflix. [Unsubscribe]( | [View online]( ©2019 CBS Interactive | All Rights Reserved.
