Just curious, is anyone else going to be watching it.

Read the books. Think, a cross between LOTR and GOT. With women more or less in charge. big budget. cant wait myself.. here's the first trailer..

Wow! I just watched a trailer and it seems very interesting! I'm going to keep an eye on that one for sure. A shame we always have to wait and see if it's going to be renewed. I always hate being left with the one season only and never knowing what was to happen next.
Fingers crossed it'll be so popular that is will defo be renewed :)
But I'm definitely going to watch if I can.
Thanks for sharing this!

Good stuff Crystal. I think season 2 is already in production. hope they do the books justice..

Ah, so you read the books. From what I understand 14 instalments? I'd never heard of the books.
It was the same with -if memory serves and I got the title right- The Golden Compass. Didn't you come up with that as well?
I LOVED that! Not read the books either though.

Yea. really good books, but you've got to be a reader 14 books takes a while.
Noteworthy as much for the non stereotypical portrayal of the sexes as much as the unusual and complex world. I've a hunch that you might like it.

Personally, I liked the Conan books better than the Wheel of Time books.
I don't really watch TV shows but the movies would be interesting.

Hihi, you're right. I find the concept intriguing.
I am quite the reader but with my neck injury it got a bit tricky to read. I have to put the book in a stand. And as you say... 14 books is a lot!
I have read the 10 or 12 books in the Avalon series (Mists of Avalon) but not all in one go. I think that's the only longer sort of sequel that I've finished.

It'll be something to watch over xmas.
Btw I notice Foundation (Asimov) is looking ok too.

I haven't watched movies or tv for about 3 years. hopefully there's a few good new ones.

Oooh, another interesting one!!
Good to have new things to look forwards to :)

Just saw the official trailor. Looks totally epic.. So looking forward to this.

Looks good indeed! A few more weeks!!

2 episodes in, I'm loving it!!!

Oh poo, having to wait for the next 3 episodes of season 1.
It is good, and great to watch someone entirely different and new.

There are a lot of things that I think are derived from existing legends and history.
Like
Moiraine - Morgaine

Tar Valon - Avalon

Caemlyn - Camelot

Samurai seppuku by the warder

Tinkers - Gypsies.

People thinking they're doing god's work and killing in the name of that (religion), especially targeting and killing the ones that truly do represent the light.


And so on and so forth.
Oddly enough it's nothing like what I remember to have seen in trailers?
It actually is much better!

Only just subbed to Prime, keep seeing it, might give it a try but I prefer binging so I may wait a few months.

Hi Mark! No need to wait that long :)
The last 3 episodes of season 1 will be in the coming 3 weeks.
Episode 6 will be aired on the 10th.

I didn't know there was more to come, so I binge-watched the first 5 that are already available :)

Finished the last episode of the 1st seasons, released today.
Good to read that season 2 is already in the making :)
Bummer that it may take until Christmas season next year to be released.

I know :-) I wached season one as soon as it came out. But then I liked the books..

I strayed on to youtube just before it came out, this nerd made me laugh. (Lesby Nerdy )
