The Shannara Chronicles: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Audience Reviews

Shawn C Austin Butler when he was young and sexy, but couldn't really act well yet. To be fair, he had a horrible script to work with. The sets, camera work and special effects are excellent though. It's so cheesy that it's fun (although sometimes I'm laughing at how bad it is). I had to rate it based on it's quality, which overall is poor. That doesn't mean you wont enjoy it. It's low stress and mindless, but beautiful to look at. I am curious enough to see Season 2, which is supposed to be much better. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Audience Member Seriously the worst series I’ve ever watched. Although the way this show was shot was incredibly beautiful, I just couldn’t get into it just because the acting threw me off, again and again. This felt even worse than Disney-channel acting. But this might also just have to do with the way the characters were written. I was just constantly cringing while watching this show (and yes, I have seen all the seasons. Watched it like, two years ago, but have never placed a review on it before) mainly because I felt like the characters were very predictable, and a little stereotypical, if I say so myself. Won’t recommend this to anyone. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Sharon E Loved this show! Loved the Will Omsford storyline. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Daniel S Hard to bear bullshit… never seen a fantasy series that is so awful… Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/07/22 Full Review ripper j Yet again, a great book is decimated and perverted by modern TV/Movie hacks. Poor casting, horrid acting and modern identity politics meshed together into a mockery of a good story. The acting is this show was sub CW quality. I got so tired of hearing Austin Butler cry out "Amberle." Who copy/pasted that into the script? I enjoyed the books and wanted to like this show, but it was so disappointingly bad. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I binge-watched the whole thing since the mysterious beginning kept me engaged in season one. The sexual tension between the three characters in season one, and the chemistry were outstanding. However, the storyline went to doom at the end of season 1 and completely went horrible by the end of season 2. The show kept killing the main characters off, without any legitimate reason (like how Will died at the end of season 2 to clean the sacred waters by sacrificing all of his blood in his body, while all it took for the Warlock Lord to pollute it was a drop of blood). The screen exposure and storyline made me committed to Bandon's character development, and I hoped till the end that he would have a chance to redeem himself and turn to be one of the most powerful good druids. Instead, he died by the hands of the only father figure he could resurrect for himself, without ever having felt love. The plot could have been so much better.
