I do love Legend of the Seeker. I really do. The action, the plot, the characters and the magic are al superb. It is only one flaw that brings it down for me. The fact that it doesn't follow its source text well enough.

Apart from characters, and the general plot, it misses out heaps of sub-plots and key elements that make the book series so engaging. If I had never read the books, I'd be giving this five stars straight off, but for the fact it doesn't respect Terry Goodkind's amazing series enough, I can't give this five stars.

I have three words of advice.

1. Watch this without reading the books.
2. Read the books AFTER watching the series.
3. Take the series for something new, and ignore the fact it is based on the book series.

So not great, but very, very good.

A great series produced right here in NZ. Will keep you coming back for more. A real mixture of mythical, magic, true love and action. Something for everyone. Can't wait for 2nd series to come out on DVD.

This show was one of the best I have seen. Extremely engaging with a vibrant story and characters that pull you in. This is a definitely high recommendation if you have read Terry Goodkind's book and still a high recommendation if you have not.
