Legend of the Seeker

Even though the cold has got the better of me, I'm still as prone to nerdyness as I've ever been. Lately I've been streaming Legend of the Seeker, a new fantasyshow about Richard Cypher who is the Seeker of Truth. (Legend's based on Terry Goodkinds books about The Sword of Truth.)

Richard and his two loyal companions; Kahlan Amnell, a confessor and Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander, wizard of the first order are united in a quest to defeat the evil lord Darken Rahl. On their quest they are guided by a prophecy that says that the Seeker of Truth will defeat the dark master. To defeat him, Richard has the book of counted shadows that he will decipher with the help of the confessor Kahlan. A confessor comes from an ancient order of magical women. She has the power to make anyone she touches tell the truth, but whoever she "confesses" also loses their free will and is compelled to love and obey her for as long as they live. 

Richard and Kahlan soon develope feelings for eachother, but because of Kahlans gifts, she can never truly be with Richard for the risk of confessing him, which would remove his will to complete his quest. *aaaww*

As you might have guessed, the show satisfies my every need for romance, adventure, medieval chivalry and swordfighting. It comes from the creators of Xena, the warrior princess and Hercules, which it also has strong similarities to but it also resembles Star Wars and even Wheel of Time.

And not only is Legend a great new fantasysaga, it is also shot entirely in New Zeeland, which is famous for it's beautiful environment which is also captured in films as LoTR, the Lion, The Which and The Wardrobe, and so on and so forth...

The show is currently on it's second season. Watch it, that's my tip of the day!
