Legend of the Seeker premieres this weekend

The television series based on the first novel of Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series, Wizard’s First Rule, premieres this weekend in syndication.

There are a number of folks out there that are very much not fans of Terry Goodkind, but I enjoyed the novel when I read it years ago; it was hardly the best novel of the 20th century to be sure, but I liked it. Between that and the fact that Sam Raimi is involved with it as executive producer, I am more than willing to give this series the benefit of the doubt and watch a few episodes before I decide to give up on it. If nothing else, I hope this will be at least a marginal enough success so that other great fantasy novels could be serialized into season (or longer) television programming.
