Legend of the Seeker is done by the same crew as Xena, Im liking it a lot that the wire work is gone and its not slapstick violence.
Except for the fight scenes. Kahlan's are sorta believable. Richard's are retarded. In the books, the Sword of Truth allows you to draw on fight experience of all the master swordsmen seekers who wielded the sword before. Thus, in the books, Richard used the sword like a scalpel, not a blunt instrument. The way the guy who plays Richard swings a sword is just painful to watch. Sure, he's all strong and buff and sweaty and all that but not all of his opponents were heavy, slow, plodding idiots with a sword. :P

But eh, I'm a snob when it comes to believable fight scenes and I rarely ever see one on TV or movies. The stuff in the recent star wars movies was probably the better ones I've seen but even those are all about 6 moves. :P
