I've never heard of Legend of the Seeker but I googled it and it looks interesting. I saw that it was done by Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert - is it Xena/Hercules-like?
Legend of the Seeker is loosely based on Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. Sometimes it has its moments where you are reminded of Raimi's involvement but mainly I think they avoid getting too too campy. The first season ended a month ago, but they have been renewed for a second so I'm super thrilled!
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree -- I loved Firefly!
