The thing about this show I do t understand was why it needed to be set in a future fantasy earth? Haven't seen it but I recall seeing this in the previews.

@Gmoney84 - The original series was written that way. The author had a specific idea and reason for doing so which wasnt realized until fairly recently.

My wife watched it and enjoyed it, I don't know much about it. Loved Xena and Hercules growing up.

Great to see Lucy Lawless in Ash Vs the Evil Dead, although they need to get Kevin Sorbo to cameo as well.

Tried watching this after my housemate raved about it. His commitment to certain series was questionable, but nevertheless - I decided to give it a try. The visuals were quite impressive for a TV series but I never made it to the second episode. It seems like they took a great idea for a show and "Smallville'd" it. In case you don't know what I mean by that - Smallville: Was a great show, with great potential and setting, ruined by unbearable teen angst and quickly turned into Days of Our Lives with the odd sprinkling of superhero hijinx.
The Shannara Chronicles: Could have been a great show, had great potential and setting, ruined by unbearable teen angst. Days of Our Lives in a fantasy setting. A fantasy soap opera for teenagers.

I couldn't get past episode 1.
I think I may have read only one Shannara book, and I struggled to get through it.
They're pretty cliche.

What's weird about this show is that completely deviates from the books in some very major ways, yet still manages to be good for a fan of the books. That's a rare experience for me, and I don't usually like drama either.
