Magical realism can be one of the trickiest things to pull off on a TV show, but when it can be used successfully, it’s one of the most interesting devices in media. Magical realism, which adds magical or fantasy elements to an otherwise realistic or grounded story, doesn’t always work for viewers. Some are looking for an entirely realistic experience on screen, while others may not mesh with the elements of fantasy that are added into the story, but some magical realism can work for any audience. When used well, the device can tie together loose ends or accentuate meaning.
