Post-apocalyptic elves! Druid quests! It’s full-on Tolkien meets Mad Max, and nobody talks about it enough.

The Critical Dragon

"Aiming for the scale and beauty of Jackson’s Lord of the Rings filmic adaptations, MTV’s Shannara comes surprisingly close on a TV budget but still has a ways to go."

The Atlantic

The mostly inert The Shannara Chronicles is utterly familiar on both levels and is a reminder that a truly vibrant fantasy story requires some sort of invention.

Variety

What’s refreshing about this approachable saga is that it knows exactly what it is, and it sprints though its familiar paces with a game spirit.

Forbes

Honestly, I may come across as very critical here, but in spite of it all, I really have had some fun with the show. It has potential. It could find its stride in the end, maybe. Maybe not.

Common Sense Media

Apocalyptic visions with dead bodies including a blood-covered child, bloody piles of skulls, and a character dying in a puddle of gore. A scary shape-shifting demon is shown frequently.

IMDb

"The world portrayed in the series is interesting, it's not a typical fantasy setting, but a world that arose on the ruins and ashes of our world, with ruins scattering the landscape and remnants of an old technology here and there."
