    Good start
    I started watching this series without any knowledge about, I only know that Manu Bennett is part of the cast, and that alone, is worth my time, because I'm a big fan of his. That being said, the rest of the cast are also spot-on, particularly John Rhys-Davies as the King of the Elven Kingdom. While I'm not totally blown away by this pilot, I think it's done well to set-up what's coming and introduce the characters well. The location and scenery are beautiful, the costumes are stylish. The cinematography is good and the score is nice.
