    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.

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

    I am enjoying it. The script is interesting and well written. Craig Horner is a very likable Richard and Kahlan makes you forget she's acting. The episodes have story in them thats not in the books, but the general plot is rolling along same as the series. It's kind of nice to see more adventures of theirs along the road.

    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.

Tabrett Bethell (Cara) quickly became my favorite character and really filled the missing piece for me that made this show as enjoyable as it was. It is really a shame that most of the critic reviews are based on the first few episodes of the show instead of watching it through. 54 is not a fair score for this wonderful and entertaining show. Just push past the first season and get ready to enjoy the second as it is far and above better than the first.

    Be sure to try and watch the show on a big screen with surround sound. This show has some great elements from other iconic movies and shows (The Matrix, 300, etc) and a nice entertainment center really helps make this show shine.

    Hope you enjoy the show as much as I did. Here's to hoping the 3rd season magically will happen!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved this show even though I ended up watching after it was done! The characters, the actors, and the plot totally took me in. The adventures in the show are surprising and not all fluff. The relationship between Kahlan and Ricard is heart breaking, enticing and romantic. The different plot twists and turns keep you at the edge of your seat the whole time. Any scifi or fantasy fan should give the show a try! Try out this show and don't let it die out! If you become a fan help in the fight for season 3!… Expand

    This show is great. The characters have great chemistry. It has lots of action and suspenseful moments. As the episodes go on the show gets better and better. The shows are more on the serious side but they do throw some humor in there every so often. Hopefully they can have more shows with more humor. The episode called Princess was the funniest one yet! There is nothing else on TV like it!

    After having watched the first 11 episodes of the season so far, i have to admit that the characters are really beginning to develop. The philosophy that Goodkind includes throughout the story is extremely deep and really brings to life the story.

Both of them read the Wizards First Rule and in my opinion are bringing the story to life with their impossible love story. I agree that at first i was very tentative about liking the show because the pilot deviated so far from the books. But once you let that go and really delve into the deeper substance of the show, you can see Goodkind's work very clearly. 11 Episodes in and i can't wait for the rest. Sure it has its ups and downs, but i think that anyone who loves the books, loves a good love story, or simply enjoys a great epic fantasy will like the show. These characters will always stick with me and i'm happy that Craig, Bridget, and Bruce are bringing them to life. I also agree with Matt B that the characters will develop and mature as the show continues. Most of these posts were simply after the pilot, and i'm curious to see how people react now that the season is mid way through. I'm loving it and i hope you are too. Take Care.… Expand

    Compared to Xena and Hercules - it have continuous background story, more realistic shades of gray consequences and moral choices - and it is not comedy show (big plus). Actors are doing good work inside story / scripts limits

    Ok, the critics are comparing this to LOTR? What about comparing it to Sword of Truth? I am biased, because I love the books. A hero that stands for what is righteous and just, in a sword and sorcery setting, if you enjoy that kind of story, then you will love this show.

    Terry Goodkind's books are one of few series that i was always eagerly waiting for the next book...sometimes impatiently. The tv series...while not exactly to the books are very enjoyable and have tried to capture some of the philosophy Mr. Goodkind's work portrayed. If they build upon those lines i think the series has a future. Stay true to the story as written.

I know that the actors will mature into their parts since the writing did, besides there is no indication that they are incompetent just unpracticed. The jump between the first book and the second, "The Stone of Tears" was enormous as far as emotional ties and entertainment go. Goodkind puts in most cases, the philosophy first in his books. That is probably by far why I find them so valuable. This first season is based entirely upon a screen adaptation of the first book Goodkind wrote but it is far from his best. I truly hope this show gets the credit and attention it deserves later on because I already know the material and Im sure most critics haven't read deeper into the storyline than I have. Its a beautiful tale with REAL characters who make decisions based on thought out and meaningful philosophy. There are messages littered all over Goodkinds work and they are the best parts of it. The object/name "Sword of Truth" itself screams placement for purpose. I just hope that the screen adaptation carries that philosophy far enough to matter and make an impact. There is nothing in it that someone who is paying attention shouldn't find valuable. Wait for the story and characters to mature people don't just blatantly give a show a 5 out of 10 especially if you watch one episode and don't even read the material its based on... lol I just cant help but laugh at that, I have no respect for those people.… Expand

    The books were a new take on fantasy with smart social commentary thrown in. The show is the complete opposite, with a bunch of cliches thrown in, bad acting, and campy dialogue. Still, it's pure Sam Raimi. If you're a Raimi fan you'll love it, even if they completely butchered the books.

    Legend of the Seeker was a great adventurous romp through the gorgeous countryside of New Zealand. It had EVERY aspect which should have led it to great success, a quest, an adventure, a forbidden romance, a common man turned unlikely hero, and oh my gosh good strong morals and a system of honor ( remember those?). There were several things that ultimately led to the show's cancellation. The Syfy channel (shame on you Syfy!!!) aired it in the U.S. at a very late time that made it difficult for the average working person to watch. Critics who gave CSI and Desperate Housewives glowing reviews also reviewed LotS. Clearly the Science fiction/ fantasy genre was not their thing and they were more suited to assessing mainstream material, which is still either cops and robbers or insipid comedy (though Desperate housewives and Weeds were a little more intellectually stimulating than the common slap stick garbage that we usually have to deal with) Problem is though is that there really is room for it all, there really is room enough to make everyone happy and if you like Family Guy and American Dad and Futurama then you should get to enjoy that too. BUT the people who like fantasy and Sci fi should also be able to enjoy their shows. Time and again this is not the case and we find that scifi/fantasy is shipped for yet another cops and robbers. It's been done people! We have more than enough crime dramas! It is time for a different system! Critics who like specific genres should comment on their own and shows shouldn't be pulled from scifi-ers!
    Honestly the acting was good. I think about how many Star Trek series I have watched and how the first few episodes the acting was actually weak and it took a while for the actors to get into their roles. Really you only see that during the first episode of LotS. The scenery is amazing! This series if given another chance by a responsible carrier instead of Syfy, in this world today where we all certainly feel the need for a hero would likely be a brilliant success. It should also be noted that part of the failure involved, was actually because of the stalwart fans of Terry Goodkind's series, The Sword of Truth. Fans of the series were disappointed that the tv series was not an exact replica of the novels, and apparently didn't read the fine print that said "BASED ON" Terry Goodkind's The Sword of Truth series. It is sad that this series was cancelled and there are still millions of hardcore fans that would like it to come back!    … Expand

    I found this show to be really entertaining and being that I like Wizard stuff and medieval times it was only a bonus. I enjoyed this show from start to finish and am rather annoyed that they didn't make a season three. It's just an interesting TV show and it has action as well as some suspense and of course romance. This is quite off subject, but one thing I'm glad I watched this show forI found this show to be really entertaining and being that I like Wizard stuff and medieval times it was only a bonus.

This is quite off subject, but one thing I'm glad I watched this show for was for Bridget Regan. I would say with her being so beautiful I would of likely finished watching the show just for her being in it. With that being said though it wasn't the case because I enjoyed the show. So if you like wizard and medieval times then this is definitely a show you should watch as I'm sure you won't be disappointed.… Expand

    The first season is watchable, if nothing really special. Let's not judge the show by how well it lived up to your expectations from the books. Let's judge it by what's there, and it's entertaining.

    Big on style but more challenged in terms of substance, Seeker demonstrates much production savvy but at the same time too little provocative/evocative interaction aside from the ultra-violent kind.

    A new syndicated series that is like the illegitimate love child of "Lord of the Rings" and a weekend role player.

    The premise is pretty standard Joseph Campbell, journey of the hero stuff, but the execution is poor.
