Legend of the Seeker The Complete Second Season Review

Legend of the Seeker Season 2 DVDtakes place in the world author Terry Goodkind created in his The Sword of Truth fantasy novel series. The three main provinces are Westland, the Midlands and D'Hara. Westland is separated from the Midlands by a magical boundary, which was created to prevent any magic from entering Westland. On the other side of the Midlands is D'Hara, which is ruled by Darken Rahl. An ancient order of women known as Confessors oversee the welfare of the people of the Midlands.

Just as Glee came forward to address the niche audience dying to see more musically-inclined shows on television,Legend of the Seeker Season 2 DVD Legend of the Seeker took up the mantle of appeasing fantasy fans with its weekly installments of magic and epic quests. It’s no Middle Earth, but it goes a long way towards filling the hole left by the exit of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess years ago. And wouldn’t you know it, just like with those two predecessors, Sam Raimi has a hand in Legend as well; but almost as if in spite of Raimi’s involvement, the show foregoes camp to try and be an honest to god fantasy epic. It succeeds in a few important ways, but the final product ultimately feels flat, due in large part to writing that feels like it came from the fan-fiction journal of a failed dungeon master.

If you can shuffle past the old man wizard who speaks in hushed tones of prophecies foretold and spells that conveniently solve the immediate obstacle, then maybe you’ll find enjoyment in Legend of the Seeker. If you can resist the urge to laugh at stilted dialogue and mediocre delivery, then maybe Legend of the Seeker will keep you interested.Legend of the Seeker Season 2 DVD If you can overlook huge flaws in logic and plot, especially in places where the entire season’s story of sealing the underworld hinges upon a single silly detail, then maybe Legend of the Seeker won’t drive you insane. These obstacles could potentially deter even the most devoted fantasy fan from continuing on and instead popping Lord of the Rings in to wash outthe bad aftertaste. Should you let yourself get past them though, you might find yourself enjoying the series even with all its foibles.
