Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

oliviaabela I'm a big fan in fiction and how movies and tv shows have the power to portray all different types of lives and characteristics and I loved this tv show, it made me feel so much for each of the characters and watching them grow and change even though it's a fantasy and not real was so realistic. I also loved the story line and how there was romance there too. Each character had their own major personalities and you really got to see it. The only thing I would say was bad about it is how they probably arent making a series 3, I wanted to see how they made it all end visually

jayyce004 I read all the books many years ago, and the producers of this show completely ruined the series (at least for television).. Its just another attempt to force down our throats women are super strong and even though they are 115lbs they can take down 6-10 250lb burly men. It promotes homosexuality, feminism, and interracial relationships and the MAJORITY of the cast is definitely minority... Another anti white show that thankfully failed...

nexx-43314 I've never read any books. I liked the first Season. It wasn't the best I've ever seen but I liked the actors and it reminded me of low budget fantasy series from the 90ties. The story was actually interesting, I loved the connection between modern world and fantasy world and it ended with suspense so I was really interested what was going to happen in Season2. Unfortunately Season2 obviously got passed to another network, it took 100 years to make and when it started it sucked. The plot was dragging all over the place, the acting got worse and had many copy-paste story elements from you're typical low budget series. Everything was so predictable and unbelievable. So yeah, Season1 is watchable, skip Season2.

truebluegreenguy To be clear, the seven star rating I am giving this show is almost entirely based on my love for the genre and source material. I'm an avid Fantasy reader, and as such was very excited to hear that Terry Brooks' works were being adapted into a show! Then I started watching the series. I enjoyed the visuals and found the overarching plot agreeable enough. As for the characters and dialogue... it was like I was watching an MTV high school drama. To quote Rob Bricken in his Gizmodo article, "Imagine if Peter Jackson had hired the cast of any of MTV's current high school dramas to be in his Lord of the Rings movies-that's The Shannara Chronicles. It's almost exclusively a collection of extremely attractive young white people who, despite wearing elf ears and being forced to discuss magic stones and demon-imprisoning trees, give zero sense that they're living in a post-apocalyptic world full of magic."I forced myself through the first two seasons, and with no network picking the show up for a third, my hope is that perhaps there will be a chance for a reboot down the road if a network were to acquire the intellectual property.In a remake, I'd love to see a fresh take that removes the "high school" and returns to "high fantasy". I'd love to see what a more 'mature' network could do with this saga, and I think the market is increasingly ready for, shall we say, Lord of the Rings meets Game of Thrones. Shannara could be the medium for Fantasy to gain further network popularity, particularly now that GoT is wrapping up at the time I write this. And I have to say, Shannara on HBO is certainly an attractive proposition, though after what MTV has done with it I'm not going to hold my breath.
