Awesome Show for the Family that will get you Hooked! Can be Bloody at Moments!
We LOVED this series, and were sad to see it canceled! Great action flick for 12 and up! There is more sex than CommonSense implies, but it is pretty tame and you can just skip it! Although there is one episode that you will just want to skip altogether! I think it's called Baneling! Other than that episode, it has good role models and good action without gore! :D
we really enjoyed this show, but the second season took on a much more distinct adult flavor. darker, scarier dead creatures, and sex. we review them before we watch them with the kids, but the kids have lost interest since it no longer has that hopeful playfulness from the first season. i would still watch it, but it is hard to find a family show in this genre.
Good role models? What useful information would we be teaching our young children if we were to allow them to view violent television shows before they even begin the concept of abstract thinking? It is unbelievable to me as a parent that someone would say they are a good parent providing good and positive role models for their young children through this nonsense of an essential knock-off of Lord of the Rings or the Narnia Series? Instead of parking your child in front of the T.V to "teach" them about truth, why not try to actually BE a good role model and show them what being an actual adult is about through your actions? Children emulate what they see, why are yours obsessed with gore, violence, and things drowning in blood?
This is one of the few shows that give younger children (5- 10 yrs old) positive role models they can emulate. Yes, the violence is intense in EVERY episode, yet without the gore. When I was that age we used to play "Army" or "cowboys and Indians" and "kill" each other off, so why not "The Seeker" vs. the "D'Harans" or for that matter, King Arthur, or Ivanhoe? Point is, the the Seeker is a seeker of TRUTH and stands up for the oppressed and the underdog, which is something many children today are NOT being taught by their parents, let alone TV.
I like the good/evil story, and my kids really enjoyed season 1. However it is important to note that there is more sexual references and inferences in season 2. Also a lesbian kiss in the first episode of Season 2.
It is a challenge to find television shows that present people dealing with issues of loyalty, commitment to a cause, standing firm against evil, and upholding one another with love and devotion. Now there is "Legend of the Seeker." Beautifully filmed, with characters portrayed by actors who care, LotS has established itself in my view as one of the finest dramas on TV. I recommend it without hesitation to adults and families.
