is a TV series loosely based on The Sword of Truth
books by Terry Goodkind. I would suggest forgetting that connection if you are a fan of the books. The TV show borrows themes, characters, and locations, but the story is completely different. However, by the end of first season, I found myself enjoying the TV series for what it was: a weekly, fun fantasy television series.Sam Raimi, also responsible for Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, is heading up the project. Legend borrows from the heavy handed action and uncomfortable story telling of both series and does it in a fun way. While some of the dialogue is laughable and poorly delivered, the visuals and action sequences make up for it. Shot in New Zealand, at a reported $1.5 million per episode, this is the best looking fantasy on TV.
