Normally, it's a good idea to limit comments in a review to the subject of the review itself, but this television show seems to have received such polarizing reviews from fans of the show who love it and from fans of Goodkind's books, who hate it, that I feel some commentary on those other reviews and the books upon which this show is based is in order.Īs I have hinted, the television show does not closely follow the books. The Legend of the Seeker features the tried-and-true-and-cliched-and-worn-out fantasy theme of the unsuspecting young man, named Richard Cypher (played by Craig Horner), growing up in a very modest setting only to discover that he is actually The Hero Who Defeats Evil, called the Seeker, and he must embark on a quest to defeat the evil sorcerer ruler, Darken Rahl, aided by his companions Zed the wizard (Bruce Spence), and Kahlan the Confessor (Bridget Regan), a sort of truth-seeking blend of judge, priestess, and witch.
The Legend of the Seeker is a fantasy adventure-drama series that came out a few years back that was based, rather loosely, upon The Sword of Truth "epic" fantasy series of books written by Terry Goodkind.
