The TV Addict 

I got this late one night, like after midnight, and found it fun. However, I can not find when it plays regularly in my area. I miss Hercules and Xena, they were cheesy fun.

http://www.legendoftheseeker.com/ Just go there and up in the top right corner they have a option to put in your zip code, and it tells you when and what channel you can watch it on..

As for the review. I was skeptic at first. My dad was an avid watcher of Hercules, and Xena, and I caught it as much as possible but I was a young lad. When I got it started I couldn’t stop. It’s great. So addictive.

“complete with faux British accents”

I wish. It’s more like complete with faux American accents with most of the cast being Kiwi’s, Aussie’s, South African, etc…

Sad too because this genre goes well with any sort of non Western English accents. So for me, things just seem less mythical and though I’ve watch each episode so far, I really don’t find it all that good. I guess it’s the fact the I like the genre that will keep me slightly interested, for now…

Based on the books is a big stretch. For the rest they managed to make a low B Series not very interesting flat good versus bad story.
Great scenery acting not that bad scripting faulty and very little humor or human interest so far.

please what are you people smokin cause i would love to have some.the only thing that makes LotS anything like Hercules or Zena is Raimi and New Zealand.. The only thing from the books that are right are names and maybe places. As far as im concerned they have taken an awesome book and made it a joke.know better then what they did to eargon.they should all maybe make a call to England and check with J.K.Rowlings to find out what it takes to turn a book into something worthy of saying based on a book.im so disappointed.

I read the books – loved them, even though Terry is VERY wordy and can be snore inducing when he goes off on his philosophical tangents. Heard about the series, was so excited I wanted to pop. Totally wasn’t sure about the casting…never watched Xena or Herc.

I LOVE this show. No it’s not like the books and frankly, that’s a good thing – the show is giving us whole new world for the characters to play in with new stories, new characters to meet, and new adventures – all of the while they maintain their core integrity as the characters from the novels. The books and the TV show are 2 separate entities, purists just have to deal with that and move on. Both are enjoyable in their own different ways. The series has wonderful fresh young talent, Craig and Bridget positively ooze w/ chemistry and the amazing Bruce Spence (Road Warrior) is a riot as Zedd, The great FX, beautiful lived in looking sets and costumes, stunning sweeping vistas/landscapes, and gorgeous music make for a very enjoyable hour of TV watching. The sword choreography is fun and Richard and Kahlan are as fantastically engaging as they are in the books.

Yes Sam Raimi/Rob Tappert made changes…yes the show is different, but that’s a good thing, it’s fresh and is intended to introduce to new fans of fantasy the world created by Terry Goodkind. The show’s Goodkind light, whereas the books are dark and each week – the episodes just get better and richer.

Please, please people, understand that the way this show must develop episode by episode is much different than a book; glaring plot deviations aside think for a moment and try to understand how over the course of many episodes the bigger picture might be revealed in a timely manner. Most shows these days string the viewer along, not revealing anything until pertinent so why should this be any different. I doubted the show at the outset, but its beginning to make sense.

I agree with Barron, this show is a travesty. I cherish the memories of the great adventures told within the novels. However LOTS is a farce, for those reading this, do yourselves a favor and read the book! You will then see that whats been done to this great story is equivalent to handing a box of crayons to a seven year old and asking them to recreate the Mona Lisa.

Having watched the first two episodes feel as though I’ve dirtied myself. What makes me feel even more dirty is the fact that Goodkind himself stated he did not want the book to be turned into a movie as he thought it would not do the books justice in terms of telling the whole story.

If they had just stuck to the key plot points in the book I would have been overjoyed to follow this B grade effort. However all that is left of the story from “Wizard’s First Rule” is the an echo of something that was once great. Let sword of truth RIP and quit pissing on its grave

I’m so happy this isn’t like all the other shows because all I ever see now are cops, doctors or reality shows…Finally a Great Show!

I love the books, the series is great (of course I like the books better). The only thing I personally feel it falls a little short on is Richard, literally. The books give us a mental picture of a “big” guy; the actor just doesn’t fit the bill in that respect. Otherwise, they do a great job. Zedd is right on. Love it.

i watch every episode and i can’t wait for the new season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
