There is a usurping prince to be deposed and did we mention a magic sword? He has a wizard on his side to act as a wise mentor and a warrior woman who is also something of a witch. Richard is a farm boy who is thrust into a bigger, more dangerous world through a destiny and a magic sword. Unfortunately, fantasy can be a genre of cliche and there is more than enough of that evident in the show as well. That's the theory anyway and where the show deals with that mythology then there are strong episodes such as openers Prophecy and Destiny, Denna, Conversion and finale Reckoning. This lends the set up something that is newer, fresher and more detailed than might otherwise have been the case. LEGEND OF THE SEEKER attempts to buck this trend by taking its background and premise from an established fantasy author's woks (Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth novels).
