'The Order' is perfect pandemic escapism

Despite the thousands of adults who self-identify as Hufflepuffs, Harry Potter is still undeniably a story written for children. As an aging fan of the series, I understand the nostalgia, but today's hellscape makes it hard to look back on the adventures of some wand-fizzling pre-teens and feel the same sense of dread at a villain whose name isn't spoken aloud. That said, magic is still tight. There's nothing more appealing right now than pure escapism, but given the assault of bad news staring up at me from my phone, keeping my attention requires a show that's a little bit ... savage. Let me introduce you to that series, which is currently blazing up Netflix's top 10 charts: "The Order."
