Is it the actors (its a bit weird there is a standalone a-lister)? Is it the director? Is it the script writing? Is it the set design? You arent wasting your life watching it but an overly complex start is followed by scenes that just don't quite ring true. The production similarities between The Chronicles of Shannara and (yes, I am going there children of the late 90's) Charmed, just take the edge off the reality enough to be dissatisfied.
