An unfortunate, recent loss, Legend of the Seeker only made it through two seasons, and the DVD release of the second and final season is now available. Based on the popular Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, and starring Craig Horner, Bridget Regan, and Bruce Spence, the show seemed to take off pretty well, but didn’t quite hold onto enough viewers by the time we got to a season three decision.
Though squarely in the realm of such syndication “classics” as Hercules and Xena, there was some clear progression at work with this one, focusing as it did on rather more creepy and unnerving subjects, and (eventually) putting a good deal less “goofy” in its comic relief.
The second season kicked things up a notch, as defeat of one evil led to a quest to defeat supernatural evil, and there was a lot less time for the show’s fun side.
