An epic saga comes to an end with these 22 episodes (on five discs) from the second and final season of the sword-and-sorcery series Legend of the Seeker. Actually, there's a teaser at the end of the last episode that promises more to come, but since the show wasn't renewed, we may never know what its creators had in store. But there's plenty here for adherents to digest in the meantime. When the last season ended, Richard Cypher (Craig Horner), better known as the Seeker, had at last managed to kill his mortal enemy, Darken Rahl (Craig Parker). But although he may be dead, Rahl isn't gone; dispatched to the Underworld, he now answers to the Keeper, lord of that desolate realm (a scene straight out of a Brueghel or Bosch painting, with a fiery landscape crowded with miserable writhing souls). The Keeper, whom we hear but never see, has already set in motion his plan to win the "ultimate battle between good and evil," as it's breathlessly described; he's opened a rift in the Earth's surface, through which he plans to dispatch all manner of monsters, "banelings" (dead souls restored to life--if they agree to kill on the Keeper's behalf), and other bad mojo. Only our hero can stop him, of course. He and three cohorts--Kahlan (Bridget Regan), a powerful "Confessor" and Richard's love interest; Zedd (Bruce Spence), a clever wizard; and Cara (Tabrett Bethell), a member of a band of malevolent warrior women called the Mord'Sith who's now on the side of the good guys--set out on a quest to find the Stone of Tears, which alone can seal the rift. Needless to say, there are many obstacles to overcome (spells, curses, wizards and witches, zombies on the loose, tough chicks in leather catsuits) and battles to be fought along the way.

Legend of the Seeker is bound to appeal to fans of The Lord of the Rings and its ilk (like Rings, it was filmed in New Zealand), as long as viewers are willing to lower their expectations. This is television, after all, with its smaller budgets and hurried shooting schedules, and its shortcomings are apparent in the acting (Horner is bland in the lead role, but no one will be winning any Emmys here), writing (the scripts have more than a few hokey moments), and production values like costumes, sets, and effects. But is it entertaining? Absolutely. --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Season was a huge improvement May 3, 2010

By ShowtimeMike

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

The first season was a little slow (at least by comparison) but season 2 is awesome! There has been much more action and the plots have gotten better with the addition of the reformed Mord Sith Cara to the merry little band and even briefly having Darken Rahl (villain from season 1) join them. If you liked Lord of the Rings or that sort of thing, this is a must buy for you. It has wizards, witches, magical swords, women that can make you tell the truth, prophecies, dark lords, epic struggles between good and evil and even a few of the actors from Lord of the Rings. All it's missing is a ring and some elves, but I guess they had to leave something for season 3...if there will be a season 3 that is. As the previous reviewer said, it is doubtful the show will be picked up for a 3rd season. It has suffered from a serious lack of publicity almost from day 1. Were it not for Briget Regan going on G4 to promote the show I wouldn't have known it existed and if not for Tivo I would have never known when it was on. I watch it on WGN (which has said they will not air season 3) and the only promos for the show I ever see come on right after watching the episode. So the only people that will ever know when it is on are those that already knew when it was on....how do you grow an audience like that? It's kinda like a guy cutting off his horse's leg and then complaining that it doesn't ride fast enough so he shoots it. Hopefully syfy will pick it up. If you are a fan of the show or haven't seen it yet but want to, please Email to feedback@syfy or disney/abc and ask them to give us a 3rd season so they can at least give the show a proper ending. There are numerous sites that have a link to sign the petition for season 3 Sign it or risk being burned with Wizard's Fire!

Update: Season 2 just ended with a bang! You do not want to miss it. If you were one of the many that were not fortunate enough to watch this show at a regular time slot and have any interest at all in the show, you MUST buy this dvd and you will not be disappointed. Things ended in a way that if that is really the end it is an ending worthy of rememberance but there are still questions and certainly a hint that the true dark lord of the series could come back with a vengeance. I for one want to see what happens next. Keep fighting Seeker fans! Maybe we can get a partial season or tv movies or something. Visit the websites like legendoftheseeker dot org (it doesn't allow me to post the actual link but you can figure it out with that) for info on who to write and demand more Legend of the Seeker.

5.0 out of 5 stars An AMAZING Season May 3, 2010

By A. Borchardt

Format:DVD

As much as I enjoyed the first season, this second season is leaps and bounds better! The production quality in every aspect has improved, and the attention to the character development by the writing team and the talented actors would have to be it's greatest achievement! With three episodes left to air at the time I'm buying this I KNOW the best is yet to come. I can only imagine what this talented production team would be able to produce if allowed to continue for a third season. This show has found it's rhythm in this season and it would be a shame if season 2 was the last season of DVDs I could buy;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Legend of the Seeker May 2, 2010

By Diana Casanova

Format:DVD

Legend of the Seeker is one of the best shows airing currently in the US, if not THE best! It's a shame Disney/ABC haven't confirmed a third season. Therefore, I encourage all of you to be part of the campaign to Save Our Seeker: [...] and please sign the petition: [...]

This show can't end like this. It's such an epic story with amazing characters. Fantastic writters and absolutely awesome crew! Gotta love Bridget Regan, Craig Horner, Tabrett Bethell and Bruce Spence.

Can't wait to get these DVDs! Have already ordered them! :D
