I just found about this show and I'm overjoyed. I've been searching for a story, setting, and characters like forever! Just wish there were more seasons and more books.
This is my favorite scene in the whole show, lol. I come back here to watch this again and again. "What the hell are THEY??" "They are called horses. I made them out of HORSE sand.....Hot rolls and marmalade anyone?" 😂 Gotta love the British. Especially when they decide to get sarcastic with each other. There's nothing better. 🤣
@@archniki_ I know this is 2 years late, but the story continues in a second book? I came across the story as the tv show and am planning to read the book now, however, from the research I've done there's only one book. If there is a second book (or more) could you tell me the name(s)?
@@Hollyblacknose_gaming_channel The 2nd book is quite 'far off', especially since the author is reportedly ill. The first book is significant dense, a lot more details and history then the series. Even if the 2nd book never came, the 1 book is quite the read all on it's own. Especially since the story of Strange and Norrell concluded.
@@Hollyblacknose_gaming_channelthe second book is apparently still happening but with the authors health and the research done to make it a release is a long way down. She made another separate book called piranesi which can hold you over. The strange and norrell sequel will apparently be about childermass and Vinculus.
I remember in the books, this caused problems because it changed the underwater geography, and so the Royal Navy was at risk of running aground again because they became unfamiliar with the terrain. The show alluded to the unintended consequences of Strange's reckless use of magic, but didn't do so in this, the most blatant example.
Plus he assumed that the crew of the ship would know how to rope the horses he had summoned to draw them to deeper water. Y'know the way that all people who work with their hands must know how to do that sort of thing, "servants' work" I think you'd call it. (Admittedly after his time in the peninsular he wouldn't have made such a mistake barring misplaced churches and 'Vauxhall-gardens' magic)
This scene is intended to establish Strange as a powerful magician, and to show the seeds of envy being sown in Norrell. Those asides in the novel were very interesting, but when you only have 7 hours to tell the story, every scene has to be important.
Come now sir, each is a great magician (after a fashion), it is in how they use their power, one from the head and the other from the heart. No doubt a long time spent bound together shall teach each the strength of the other. Whether they shall cleave to one another as man to wife, each complimenting the goodness and failings of the other. Or, if you shall allow me- they shall cleave their bonds and emerge more rounded in their skills, motivations and perhaps, more importantly, the knowledge that may inform their own innovation. For my part, as a Norrelite, I see a master worried by his apprentice playing with such wild and ungrounded magics. That you see the existential worry of the apprentice exceeding his master, speak to your sympathies and little more than that. I see a child alighting upon the secret of fire, after spying flint and tinder used. True, all they need now are the tools and they can have fire, but the child knows nothing of what stray sparks or embers might cause. Any watching parent would be fearful of their recklessness and hope to beat some restraint into them, such that 'safety' is our watchword and not 'power' (though it may come at great cost). I trust that this finds you as it leaves me, proud of their story, as it has been told to us, and hopeful of their future promise.
Norrell: Uses by-the-book magic to set up invisible wards and it looks like he did nothing at all. Strange: Impromptu summoning of sand horses with a dramatic and impressive display. Great contrast between the two men.
More or less Norell uses the magic set up by the Raven King, he invoices the promises and deals he set up for magicians of Britain. Which is why his magic is so dry and unspectacular it's basically the magical equivalent of a contract "perusing to paragraph 12 of the sea spirit agreement with the raven king entered on behets of all Britain I invoice the the invisible beacon" while Strange forges deals on the spot using his talent and raw magic to subjugate nature spirits nearby
It is the most incredibly gorgeous, funny, witty, hugely imaginative and surprising book I've ever read. Everybody should read it, there is so much more to the book than they could possibly put into a series, for all that the events are mostly the same.
@@mishasan7 and the subtle spelling changes that draw you in... if I were "shewed a pair of scissars" I might think it odd at first. Half way through this book these obsolete spellings have ceased to be minor stumbling blocks. They became reminders of the world I was reading about
If the Kardashians ever tried anything like this, their tattoos would peel off and their false eyelashes would go up in flames. And it would be even funnier to watch than this I think, lol.
Never read the book. Up to that scene I thought magic in this story was just a hoax. This scene is very powerful and changes the tone of the show entirely. It was brilliant for director to put it in second episode.
That is very bad advice. Hola is terrible. It makes your IP address an exit node for tor meaning that somebody can be using your computer and IP address to download child porn or become a bot in a botnet. If you're not paying for the product, you are the product.
The moment we all fell in love with the show and with Jonathan Strange. Amazing.
I wish more people knew this show, because this shit was TIGHT! ♥

Gosh YES, it's the best! Absolutely incredible.
I've tried so hard to get people to watch it. Definitely one of my most favourite series. Book was great too.

One of the few times that the series outdid the book - the action scenes were all so well done! This kicked so much arse :)
Awww the envy on Norell's face. He'd have definitely needed his books for that.
"They are called *'horses'* ...I made them out of *horse* sand. Hot rolls and marmalade, anyone?" 😂😂😂
Gotta love the British and their way with words!
Good sarcasm for all the snarky remarks from the unhelpful fellow 😂❤
I was looking for a new show. I think i found it
By far my favourie scene.
Johnathan Strange was so funny, great character. Excellent casting of the actor.
This show should have never ended!
Not Applicable. it has continiue in new book. but i like that base story short and didnt get fillers.
I'd have killed for a second season. So many questions remained unanswered.

I was thinking the same thing lol that changed the depths there drastically
And this is the moment Mr. Norrell knew that Jonathan Strange is a far better man well magician than he will ever be.

@@fomoran this is one of the most nerdy replies I've ever witnessed. And I love it.
@@fomoran I was going to reply, but you've said it all.
Mr. Norrell wasn't even there to witness the event, in the book. No mention of him being aware of it either. 😆
Norrell: Uses by-the-book magic to set up invisible wards and it looks like he did nothing at all.
Strange: Impromptu summoning of sand horses with a dramatic and impressive display.
Great contrast between the two men.
The difference between a sorcerer and a wizard, lol.

Always spectacular, also after years.
Love the Show so much
This is such a great scene. I love the intensity in his face!
hot rolls and marmalade, anyone?
I wont say no to tea and crumpets
that was surprisingly awesome!
Coolest moment of the whole show. Wish this was more common
I want MORE
My favorite scene!
I'm reading the book right now, about halfway through, and I can see that this show can't even compare to the reading experience.
Oh, im buying that shit :)
It might as well be a different thing entirely.

Tough book to film, to be sure.
Toby haynes is a great director. He made one of the best doctor who episodes: a Christmas Carol, written by the great steven moffat
Reality shows are getting more and more interesting every day.
Jeffrey Ruggles Never liked reality shows.

I mean, someone came back from the dead at the end of the first episode
The Fonz of the 19th century was Jonathan Strange, lol.
This is even more cool than hitting a jukebox and turning it on.
1 sezon çok güzeldi umarım 2 sezon bizi fazla bekletmez..
am like fuck it this is how you get shit done
sending four horses ageast evil.
I wish they didn’t acknowledge that the keel would have split in two. We should have a bunch of drowning men after this was cast. :(
I'm just wondering how would men drown if the boat is stuck on sand? Couldn't they disembark onto the sand? How is anyone drowning in this situation?
yea well, watched it once on streaming site, very good...but then again netflix canada doesnt have strange/norell....
use a vpn
+Nick Smith doesn't work
Check out Hola VPN, I've used that n it worked. plus its free

Am I the only one that thinks Tom Mison would've been great for this roll?
good actor but too formally handsome. bertie wossisname is just a bit wacky which is perfect
Yes, it would appear you are 😏
@@zedell1233 Carvel. Bertie Carvel. And I'd argue but he is amazingly, wonderfully wacky.
Link please for full movie
He's doing Magic in front of Muggles! He's violating the International Statue of Secrecy!
Who's here from tiktok??
If you love the book, please don't see this show.
I adore the book but also greatly enjoyed the series. One doesn't lessen the experience of the other. :)
I LOVE the book and I love the show. Please sit down and don't speak for the rest of us.
I loved the book and think that the show is a fantastic adaptation! I very much recommend it.
