Must see show
I had never heard about this book or even watched MTV for that matter but I somehow came across this show and LOVED it. I mean wow. In 10 eps SOOOOO much happens. Talk about twists and turns. I loved the character of Eretria (if they ever do a spin off I'd watch). I love the three main characters (amberla/eretria/wil). Fast paced with lots of action. You've got magic and elves and so much going on. I am happy the show was picked up for a season 2 because the ending is a cliffhanger I must say. I also must admit I really enjoy the chem between eretria/amberle or princessrover as fans call it. Hope this show is around for years to come.

Shannara DVD Season 1
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!
Big fan of his books so I was worried about MTV doing the show. The overall feeling is just good, not bad, not outstanding just good. Allanon seems too weak compared to the books, I was really disappointed in the casting for him, I guess I pictured him more dark with long hair, etc. The acting is really surprisingly talented, with some faces you know. It's definitely going for the MTV audience, maybe it will be moved to a different network in the future! Worth buying though if you're a fan of the books.
