The Shannara Chronicles s1
Aug. 22nd, 2018 12:32 amMaybe I would have the time to actually watch the many things recommended to me if I didn't constantly get distracted by other stuff for no good reason. DD and I watched the first season of "The Shannara Chronicles" because of vague nostalgia for the original Shannara book trilogy and that the scenery in the first episode is very pretty. There are worse reasons to watch a show, and it was only ten episodes.
I actually liked the beginning, the characters showed promise even though some were overly dramatic teenagers and not that smart, Gimly plays the elf king, and I especially loved the design of the first demon we saw, the Fury, kind of a mix between a moth and a pteranodon.
( spoilers )
It was decently fun and pretty entertainment if one doesn't mind plot holes etc. and I liked the f/f potential, but we're probably not going to watch the second season.
We had plans for what to watch next, but instead DD showed me the first episode of season two of Gokusen, a Japanese drama about a high school teacher who happens to be the heir to a yakuza family, and it's terrible and earnest and hilarious and wonderful so we'll continue that tomorrow.
