I'm planning to check this out. Hopefully Goodkind's involvement will the story somewhat true to the books...

This could be a good series if they do not play with it to much and try to stay somewhere near the original story line

Has anyone been watching this? They've veered away from the plotlines in the books, although they. Some quibbles:
Richard memorized the Book of Counted Shadows as a boy, before it was destroyed. His knowledge of the book is a critical story element. How will they resolve this?
I think it's amusing that the actor playing Darken Rahl, played Haldir in LOTR (with blond hair), and now they have him playing Rahl with black hair, when he should be blond.
Richard is supposed to be huge. Until he runs into the quad at the beginning of the story, he's never seen anyone bigger than himself.

It could end up better than the books, at least the last few. They could keep out the Ayn Randian-soliloquoys on the glories of libertarian capitalism and the evil of communism. Goodkind needs to learn to be more subtle with his preaching. And to actually finish a storyline instead of having a procession of "No wait, the REAL evil is this!" twists.
