Signed up for StackTV specifically to watch The Magicians and am hating it.
IMDB reports episode 5 as being 43 minutes - but on Feb 16th (11 days after becoming available) Stack TV STILL contains an incomplete, 32 minute version of the episode in which there are plot jumps and audio/video sync issues throughout the entire second half of the episode.
One second El is doing a spell outside a building and Margo is walking into a party - 2 seconds later, El is inside a building staring into a mirror and Margo appears to have been caught by security and is being interviewed in an office with Josh and 23. Then - Josh and the Security dude fall asleep and the episode ends.
On top of this StackTV quality control issue, incompetence and/or indifference. They want $13/month AND still force you to watch several commercials interspersed throughout the episode in 5 or more places.
Magicians is awesome. This episode is probably good - if you're able to see the whole thing. I wouldn't know.
StackTV is a shameless money grab by a greedy company that doesn't care about quality or its customers. Mistakes can happen - even from the best of companies - but GOOD companies fix their mistakes - quickly. The fact that an corrupt video is still in their streaming catalog 12 days after it was reposted to them is all I need to know about this crappy company and their customer service.
