SEEK NOT WORLDLY THINGS
I am back with
Legend of the Seeker: Season One.
They must have found out that they were renewed as there is a lot of strenuous action and many special effects.
This last disc has an interview with Terry Goodkind, the author of the twelve books published on The Seeker. Richard Cypher, a country boy who is chosen to save the world from the Evil Darken Rahl. He joins a Confessor (you will find out what that is if you watch it) and a Wizard of the First Order.
The three set out for a series of extremely well produced adventures of 45 minutes in length. Wildly edited, there is not anything that is wasted and not a minute totally pillaged for exciting action or magic.
Among the many mysteries that the trio have to unravel, none is as astounding as the editing and composition of these stories that somehow manage to convey so much in so little time.I watch this carefully in what little spare time I have in the middle of these episodes and it remains a trade secret of how it is done so well.
This reviewer says the acting is "hammy". Well, hell, yes.
They have a lot to get across. Actually while it is, at times, broad, the acting is very effective. It takes a lot of energy to upstage special effects. These people are very well equipped to do so.
