GMA is a multi-awarded station, and I have another title to add to their long list list: Most shallow show on Philippine TV. I always thought that nothing can sink lower than the titanic production of Mars Ravelo's "Darna" the soap opera, but I was proved wrong with the release of "Majika", the network's most seizure-inducing, second childhood-generating soap opera ever.
And just what is this "Majika" all about? It's about spell slinging lady magicians in skimpy and colorful costumes battling it out in a badly-dressed fantasy set. Obviously, it was created with children in mind and it stars "Darna" herself Angel Locsin with Dennis Trillo, supported by Katrina Halili, Eddie Garcia, Jean Garcia, and Carmina Villaroel among others.
I have serious reasons to call this one shallow; there are absolutely no redeeming factors to save this one from damnation. The costumes and set design are absolutely meaningless and are so colorful it might induce seizures; the story is stereotypically soap operatic that each moment is a passing of never-ending clichés of love and mistaken identity; the premise is obviously a ripoff of various Disney films and Harry Potter---the show might actually trigger retardation because of its dumbed-down plot line.
What makes the show pathetic is that in order to save their sinking ratings (the rival show is slowly creeping up on the ratings game), they made the ladies' costumes a lot shorter in order to show more skin and attract the older, hot-blooded male audience. However, even the combined forces of Ms. Halili's fantastic body and the supple skin of Ms. Locsin cannot save this disaster of a TV show.
And what do passengers do when the ship is sinking? Jump ship before it takes the whole network down with it.

Spell AWFUL. M-A-J-I-K-A. That's how awful this show is. Majika tells the story of a girl named Sabina who is not a normal human being-she is a daughter of a "majikera" (a woman magician). Seems like another rip off right? What is it? I know! Harry Potter! Sabina is like a stupid version of Harry Potter. Angel Locsin's downfall performance from another idiotic TV drama "Darna" never improved. She looks like a sexy actress with a magic wand in her costume, so as Dennis Trillo. It seems like the costume designer is targeting the mature audiences, not the children. Every episode was craply written, and the acting was very awful (my GOD Jean Garcia, what happen to you?).
Majika was one of my Top 10 most awful TV dramas of all time (ranked #3 only, lined with Captain Barbel as #1 and Darna as the second). God Bless GMA-7.
1/10 stars
