   The actors did a great job of acting out a modified version of Wizard's First Rule. For example, Craig Horner (Richard Cypher) couldn't have been more humble or witty than he was the book. Bruce Spence (Zed) also didn't disappoint. He was able to maintain a level of humor and mystery that made his role as Wizard indispensable to the plot. Still, the series would have been meaningless without the stellar performances of Bridget Regan (Kahlan) and Tabrett Bethell (Cara). To be honest, I thought Tabrett was a much better actor. I always thought her reactions and emotions were much more convincing than Bridget's. In sum, it was an excellent series replete with suspense, great fantasy action, and memorable moments. Remember, don't judge it for not following the book to the t. Enjoy it while considering they had to modify the storyline to accommodate a tight budget and younger audiences.… Expand

   Although the show is very loosely based upon the Sword of Truth series of books, I really enjoy it and look forward to watching it every weekend.

   A fun show to watch, could use a little more support in the script department. This is my new guilty pleasure show.

   To say that the Legend of the Seeker was "adapted" from Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series is a lie. It would be better to say that only the characters' graphic descriptions and world settings had been excellently depicted in the television series but the same certainly couldn't be said for the novels' essence. As an avid fan of the novels, I am greatly dismayed that tons of the original story plots and concepts had been twisted, turned upside-down and were even missed to create an altogether new storyline. It seems as if the Legend of the Seeker has only used the Sword of Truth's characters and world settings to act on an entirely different tale. Having an entirely separate storyline, those who haven't delved yet into the Sword of Truth novels would surely find the Legend of the Seeker interesting and worth watching. They would surely be entranced by its astounding visual effects and its actors who are truly visually suited for their roles. They wouldn't find it hard not to sympathize with the characters in the long run.… Expand
