Charming and self-aware fun.

Another witch goes to school and assembles a crack team of high schoolers Avengers-style to save her store. Except this one is actually paying the child she blackmailed into a contract!

The cast is quirky and fun, the characters are endearing, and their relationships with each other can be unexpectedly sweet at times. Each member of the team gets a character arc that is explored in their episodes, which plays with the genre and leads to some very funny meta moments. If that brand of humor tickles your fancy and you're in the mood to enjoy a series of lighthearted mysteries that don't take themselves too seriously, you'll probably have a good time.

Also a plus, there is slightly more magic to go around and a few noteworthy cameos from the first season and Phantom School that may please fans, but the real underappreciated star is the antique aesthetic of the shop. It's so cool it stole my heart from the first glimpse! Honestly, I refuse to believe there isn't a market for this with the teen/young adult demographic and I wish we had been allowed to see more of it!

If I had to nitpick one thing, it would once again be the pairing of a much older immortal witch with a teenager. The high school setting at least makes more sense in the story, but the finale really made it harder to ignore this time around.
