IMHO its ok so far, there are some characters that could have been trimmed and you wouldn't even miss them (Kit, Jade, Graydon) as they are just expedient plot devices with filler dialogue.

It is ok. The acting isn't very good from everyone over 4 1/2ft tall. It was good to see Warwick and Anabelle Davis acting together. Their moments together felt like the movie. However the rest of the show feels like a WB teen show with bad script writing. It doesn't have that epic feel of the movie or any high fantasy show. It feels small in scope. Ruby Cruz's character is probably the most unlikeable of the bunch. Hopefully her story arch makes her into a more likeable hero. The others are pretty wishy washy. At least the Elora Danan character isn't instantly great at everything (aka Rey).

The show has an odd tone to me. It feels like a discount Game of Thrones for young kids, as opposed to an epic fantasy series.
I have zero affinity for the original so I'll see how it goes with an open mind.

this made me laughs my wife said something similar. she felt like she was watching a tween show with bad acting. we haven’t watched the 2nd episode yet. we’ll probably watch the movie just for a rehash. i haven’t seen it in years.

I could have sworn I saw the cast of Time Bandits in the scene were Willow is testing Elora Danan. I thought Willow's body guard was David Rappaport but he has been dead since 1990. Most of the cast of Time Bandits passed away some time ago. Kenny Baker would have been amazing to see one last time.

Actually I thinks it’s more like a less sour version of The Witcher.

This looks like a bad version of Wheel of Time.

As if Amazon's Wheel of Time wasn't bad enough.
I read the entire Wheel of Time series. That show is like reading a book report done by a twelve year old that read the cliff notes and made up the rest because he didn't read the book.

I will also accept comparisons to the Shannara TV series.

Xena Warrior Princess was better.

Episode 3 has wandered into the realm of farce. The young ladies besting plate armored men when they are a third of their size was a bit too large of a stretch. Bumper music was indeed another strange choice with a rehashed Enter Sandman rendition.

Embrace the whiny bratness of it all. The last line of the first episode was really funny:
"What?"

A “Brat Pack" you could say. Sadly, I guess there’s no precedent for such stories being worthwhile or possibly becoming successful.

It does have a similar feel to the Shannara series.
