Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am a huge fan of the Terry Brooks Shannara Chronicles books and was very much looking forward to watching the new TV series. Most of the times I am not a fan of the translation from Book to TV or the Big Screen but even taking that into consideration I was pulled in due to how they changed the location to be post apocalyptic earth and intertwined the locations of the books with current day locations like San Francisco. I found myself having to force myself to not watch them all in one sitting but it did take only one 3-day weekend to finish them all. I love being able to watch them without commercials too!

I read the series of books. I did not want that to end. When the series came on TV, I had to watch it. I grew up with the books. I fell in love with the series all over again. I bought the season on regular disc first, hoping it would come in blue ray. My prayers were answered. I love this show. Can't wait for the rest. Here's to wishing. Thank you.

When I originally watched this on TV, I was rather disappointed that it veered so far from the book. I hesitated a bit getting it on blu-ray because of that. On watching a 2nd time through, knowing what it was, I enjoyed it alot more. There are some things I still don't enjoy. It's a bit too MTV'd in spots which made my eyes roll and the acting in spots is rather bad. Still, I found it fun the 2nd time through. The video quality on this release I also thought was excellent. It was nice and crisp and popped.

As a huge and longtime fanny of Terry Brooks, I love this series. Somethings are different than in the book its based on but that's how these things are done. Very high production and very interesting. My only gripe is Will gets annoying, but it's bearable.

This is a great story from the book series by Terry Brooks. All aspects of this MTV series are done to a very high standard. An excellent cast, beautiful cinematography and epic special effects all add up to a spectacular viewing experience.

Have read all the books in the Shannara world, and was skeptical about how this would turn out. Was hooked from the very first minute. A must see for all fans of Terry Brooks. Can't wait (darn) for Season Two!!

I have never read the books and I have heard some complaints that the series doesn't follow them. That makes for a very entertaining show. Forget what you've read, enjoy the journey!

The shannara chronicles is an awesome show it definitely has elements of Lord of the rings in it can't wait for season 2 to start this is a must have if you like fantasy!

Have been a big fan of the Shannara world for a long time, and it was great seeing part of the story come alive on the screen. Was not disappointed!

if you are into D&D type fantasy, you have to own this and season 2.

Love the action and adventure of the land request. The fighting and the drama

Based on the novels by Terry Brooks Shannara Chronicles tells the story of Wil, Amberle, and Eretria.

It started off a little slow but got better and better. Well worth a watch and looking forward to season 2.

Equal parts fantasy and action with a little romanceband comedy thrown in here and there. Very well made.

If you're a fan of Mr. Brooks 20 some books of Shannara - you'll probably love this. If this is your first exposure to it.. well, get ready for a fantasy saga you'll not soon forget.

Such a joy to watch the stories come to life! Interesting characters with intriguing back stories.
