Caught it last night. It's a Game of Thrones wanna be show, comes on at 10 PM which is a bit late for me, but it was worth staying up for. It is "based" upon the Shannara fantasy novels by Terry Brooks. I read the first one many years ago and was sufficiently un impressed that I never read any more of them. So I cannot intelligently comment upon how well the TV show tracks the books.
It's swords and sorcery with handsome young sword swinging heroes and some very pretty, leather clad heroines. There is some vast undefined struggle between men and elves (both good looking) and some really ugly demons. Dialog is mediocre. For instance I never did catch the names of any of the handsome heroes or pretty heroines or the ugly demons.
Still it was OK and I will make an effort to catch the next episode next Tuesday night.
