    On the 2nd episode. Pretty sweet so far.

    I liked the show. It had some stumbles and like any fantasy it takes 3 episodes to heat up, but I'm glad season 2 is confirmed!

    Was a fan of the books as a kid. Tried watching it, had to turn it off 15 minutes in it was so painfully stupid.

    I couldn't manage to read them. They were always at used book stores, but the writing was never exceptionally adult and seemed like fan fiction. The show isn't Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings. It is kind of a mix of Xena: Warrior Princess with high production values and those shows were popular for 6-8 seasons each.

    This is probably one of those cases where I'm fortunate I didn't read the books first. I'm not saying it's on the level of GOT, but it's a pretty good story so far. The acting is decent, albeit a bit melodramatic at times.

    The demons have a vaguely Constantine quality about them. Not bad.

    Watched the first episode. Reminded me of Twilight with elves mixed with the camp of Hecules/Xena. Maybe if I liked or read a bunch of the books I'd be more into it, but this is taking away time I could spend watching Marco Polo.

    Plus Allanon's stupid haircut, goddamn.

    The books were fluff. This is too. If you approach it with that mindset it is much better.

    I saw the first few episodes then lost interest. Maybe I wouldn't have done so if I'd read the books though.
