Title: The books were better...
Review: When Terry wrote to me and told me about this series I was very excited, thinking that it would be a LOTR type of movie. As the opening television date drew nearer I was looking forward to it. As luck would have it I was out of the country for the first 2 episodes but read critiques of them. I was basically told by so many people that if you have read the book you will hate the series. So, I took their advice and never watched the show. However, when the first season came out I decided to buy it and watch it as I would any series, not taking the books into consideration. It was good --- if you approach it that way then it has a good story, continuation, etc. One of the guys here said that he became a master swordsman overnight --- so who cares??? Do you have no imagination??? I am looking forward to watching the second season once it comes out in DVD --- I hate commercials and would rather watch something like this in one or two sittings.
Is the review positive or negative?
