LEGEND OF THE SEEKER
this is a fantastic fantasy tv-series (from 2008/2009 with 2 seasons with each 22 episodes filmed in new zealand,the places look much like in the lord of the ring-trilogy)
it's about the fight of good versus evil and it's a mix of fantasy, mystery and middleage and besides many cool characters with special powers it shows very beautiful landscapes,woods,waterfalls,etc.
here's a short summary of the story:
The story takes place in the three main provinces Westland, the Midlands and D'Hara. Westland is separated from the Midlands by a magical boundary, which was created to prevent any magic from entering Westland. On the other side of the Midlands is D'Hara, which is ruled by Darken Rahl. The Confessors oversee the welfare of the people of the Midlands.
The story begins after the invasion of Darken Rahl's army into the Midlands. Kahlan Amnell (Bridget Regan), a Confessor, ventures into Westland in search of a wizard and the Seeker, who has been prophesied to defeat Rahl. Kahlan finds the wizard, Zeddicus Zu'l Zorander (Bruce Spence), and the Seeker, Richard Cypher (Craig Horner), who is forced to accept his destiny. Together, they set off on a journey to seek out Rahl and his minions. They soon discover that their quest will not end with Darken Rahl, and that the Seeker's journeys are only just beginning. The Keeper of the underworld is waging a war on the living and creating tears between the veil of the underworld and the living world. Richard's quest in the second season is to find the 'stone of tears' to seal the rifts between the worlds.
the series offers many cool creatures,witches and magicians besides of the 4 main characters who are:
Richard Rahl – He discovers that he is the first true Seeker in a thousand years - "a hero who arises in the times of trouble and suffering and seeks out evil".His special power is his Sword of Truth which gives him the power of all other seekers who used the sword before.
Kahlan Amnell – the Mother Confessor. As a Confessor, she has the power to magnify the love a person has within them for her, allowing her to control the person. Her role is to protect the Seeker with her life. Executive producer Robert Tapert describes Kahlan as "a female action hero for 2009… she's perhaps more feminine at the same time as being as ruthless as Xena was."
Zeddicus "Zedd" Zu'l Zorander – a wizard of the first order who is a wise old man with many cool magical powers. After Richard accepts the name of the Seeker, Zedd becomes his mentor and is sworn to protect him with his life.
Cara – a Mord'Sith, member of a feared order of women known as very powerful fighters and cruel tormentors who first fights against the seeker but then joins his side. Richard trusts Cara, and believes her unique abilities could prove invaluable in finding the Stone of Tears and defeating the Keeper of the Underworld.
