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.
