The Shannara Chronicles plot
Set thousands of years in the future, the series follows three heroes. Wil is half-elf and half-human and one of the last of the legendary Shannara family. Amberle is an elf princess and the first woman to be welcomed into the Chosen, an elite group of elves responsible for protecting and caring for the ancient Ellcrys tree. And then there's Eretria, who is entirely human and was raised by a group of thieves known as the Robbers. They set out to prevent an evil army of demons from destroying the world.

Started off pretty well and I was pretty confident that this would get even better. Even looked like there would be some character development in it. Well, that confidence turned out to be misplaced. After 2 episodes pretty much all character development was thrown away, one dimensional flat screaming behavior in its place and the plot turned out to be very messy. Could easily have been made into a more balanced series. At least when I read reviews of the book series.
Really amazing that the creators pose some kind of epic dilemma that requires our group of superior 'chosen' adolescents to journey (along with unfit knights without any screentime) and then go on all kinds of stupid adventures that really have nothing to do with that demon problem / 'oh no, the boom, end of the world' had to do. WTF!?
Don't know the book material, but it turns out that the makers have done nothing good with it. And then they also end with a non-canon ending. That, while you have the chance to make a cool anthology about the world of Shannara with several stories per book. Now you just have chronicles about one of the chronicles. Really, MTV?
There are still the characters who don't really get along with the script. How flat. Especially those three 'chosen' teenagers were very mediocre. Even Manu Bennett is disappointing. Not to mention that subplot with that king and his sons...
No, the first two episodes were very misleading. To think that Millar and Gough just delivered my 2015 favorite (Into the Badlands). Disappointing.
