    Entertaining but ultimately lightweight. All rather off the wall kind of humour which is a bit hit and miss. At times it all seems rather ad-lib. If you're into Dungeons and Dragons you'll probably appreciate it. It has a star studded cast which doesn't really redeem the rather turgid plot or lame attempts at humour. The characterisation is all very 2D and no one really shines. Plenty of eye candy whichever way you spread your bread.All that said it's not especially offensive (there is a little gratuitous sexual humour which might upset the more sensitive snowflakes among us), and the story line romps along with plenty of sword swinging action. It's lightweight humour for a quiet evening in.

    There are a few reviews which state the obvious about this show: Shakespeare it ain't! This is a wonderful blend of the adventure of Xena, and the comedy writings of Robin Hood: Men in tights.The show follows a questionably talented band of people who assist the prophesied Krod Mandoon on a quest to stop Dungalor from using the Eye of Gulga Gyrmna.For the type of show the characters are well developed, albeit bordering on stereotyped, and even though there were only 6 episodes they still managed to evolve over time. The sets and locations were fantastic. The costuming was absolutely stunning. The actors and actresses were fantastic.One of the things that I really enjoyed about this was that the characters weren't 1 dimensional. I can honestly say that I know people like every major character.It is clear that this is a show that requires a season to get the audience hooked, and then could be a long running classic.To the BBC: Get the funding and get this going again. You'll kick yourself in 20 years if this becomes another cult classic like Faulty Towers and you only produced 6 episodes.

    Krod Mandoon started out as an interesting premise, mainly a fantasy sword and sorcery sitcom. However it just becomes a platform for more anti-male/pro-female bullcrap that is considered "humor" in our society. In between scenes of fantasy style questing, scenes of medieval castles/towns and characters like warriors and wizards, are the messages that "women are awesome and sexy" and "men are idiots and buffoons" while pointing out that female sexuality is awesome and sexy and male sexuality is disgusting and ugly.I would have rated the show higher, but could not stand the misandric garbage. I had enough by the 4th episode.Next!

    Not a series to be taken seriously, as you can probably tell from the title. But if you like sci-fi/fantasy type movies and comedies, then this is definitely for you. The strong point of this show is the wide array of ridiculous characters. I enjoy Dongalor (the villain) the most as a character... but there are plenty of memorable ones. The General, Horse Rapist, the weapons inspector, the Innkeeper..etc. The humor is a little on the cheesy side...but it's endearing. This show sold me after the first episode and I ordered the season off itunes. I would definitely give this my recommendation for anyone that enjoys movies such as Zoolander, Dodgeball and their ilk.For an overall score, I gave is show 8/10
