Fun and interesting, and very much like Sam Raimi's earlier shows (Xena, Hercules, etc). Some of the acting and effects leave a bit to be desired, but the story and the character development make up for that. Overall an enjoyable bit of escapism.
The story on this has a Lord of the Rings flavor, but the acting is unfortunately subpar. The special effects are also pretty bad, but that's to be expected from a TV show. Really the only reason to watch this is if you're a fan of Bridget Regan.
