I remember when this show aired on TV, I used to watch everyday coming back from church religiously. Like it became a tradition and my parents would watch it with me sometimes. As a female, I loved Kahlan. However, I liked Cara's fierceness. Things the others would be afraid to do, she was be brazen and do it. Interesting how she used to work for the enemy and then came on their side. Sad how she was ripped away from her parents and forced to be a Mord'Sith. I never understood Lord Rahl's desire for Kahlan. Idk whether it's just wanting a Confessor son. It's so bizarre. Ahh, I miss this show. Haven't watched it in years. Although, I'm start the entire series now.

I didn't read the books, so I could appreciate it for what it was, not what I expected it to be.What is so utterly amazing about this show is that the good vs evil isn't purely black and white. The good and pure Confessor can brainwash people into mindless slaves, and that's not even the darkest thing about her. The cold sadistic "dominatrix" has the breath of life that can resurrect someone who just died. You'd expect it to be the other way around, but the good can be evil, and the evil can be good.We aren't doomed by our own nature or by fate, but by the choices and actions that we do. And we can change for the best or the worst. The worst can do the best, and the best can do the worst.Beware the angels, for they can be evil. Don't condemn the demons hastily, because they can surprise you with kindness.People can do anything to achieve their goals. Sometimes kindness is for the worst, sometimes evil is for the best.I love all the characters. They work well together. They complete each other. The villain is really good at it. The main character is indeed a pussy but it's nice to see him have the courage to persevere anyway. I like the freaking tall goofy magician.I had a wonderful time and it breaks my heart that it was canceled. Firefly was too and it's my favorite show, that one is probably my second best. I was never bored, it always cheered me up. The action is nice. I like the spirit of it.Thankfully it lasted long enough to be worth watching anyway. Stuff gets resolved, it doesn't end on a cliffhanger. I don't remember how it ends, so I would gladly watch it yet again. But it was a decent ending making me long for more, so it's complete enough to be worth it.Of course it's cheesy, but I love cheese. It's not breath taking like the lord of the rings, but it's epic in its own amusing way~ And I actually enjoyed it better.

(Never read the book that this is based on...) The TV series is way above average for this kind of sword and sorcery genre, even if it has no resemblance to the "much loved" book on which it may be based. The overtly simplistic storytelling and somewhat questionable script/acting are of no immediate deterrent to enjoying the series. In fact, if you found the LotR trilogy (on screen) a heavy-going grind to wade through this will be a breath of "fantasy-fresh-air".The series does however veer towards a less mature audience. The "violence" is muted and the theme of Good Vs Evil handled in a manner suitable for a pre-teen audience almost. In short, it lacks any real menace on the part of the "bad-guys" and so fails to generate much empathy for the "good-guys".That being said, the action is handled briskly and the sometimes difficult magical effects are reasonable and unoffensive.As an entertainment show that is trying to appeal to a fantasy fan-base (many of whom are ardently defensive of the book) it may well struggle to gain high regard...as a throw-away, action/adventure series that is never too demanding of its audiences emotions or intellect it is successful.Since this is a personal review I would add that I enjoyed it for the most part. I wish it were a "darker" world with a lot more menace and substance but it would seem you can't have everything.

This is by far the best fantasy/medieval TV series for me. I hope that they will make Seasons 3, 4 and 5 and even more. I just finished watching season 1 and season 2 and they were all fantastic.Now I'm going to start reading the novel series "Sword of Truth" although I am not a fan of reading. I have no choice but to read them because the series was canceled. I've seen a lot of fan sites that encourages fans to vote for this series to be revived and I hope that ABC/Disney will listen to what the fans would want to happen. I'm also hoping that if they revive the series, I would still like the same actors/actresses for Richard, Kahlan, Zed and Cara.
