It manages to impress (me, at least)
I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised with MTV. I didn't think they had it in them to pull off a massive show like this.
I read some of the Shannara books when I was in school and I was a huge fan of them until I started reading edgier fantasy like Tolkien's Lord of the rings, Silmarillion and George Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series.
Still, I was intrigued to discover that there was a new show based on the Shannara books in the works, and I got a chance to watch these episodes. Honestly, I don't remember many of the details from the books, but much of what I did see was pleasantly familiar, even if the way it is presented is different that what I used to imagine.
