Konterr Brilliant and touching

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Trent Nielson If you are a gamer, fantasy reader, into LARP or just a dreamer this is the TV show for you. My wife and I didn't know what to expect at first but loved watching the series play out. The concept is similar to survivor but is much different. They have an entire plot lined up that the contestants get to experience and vicariously we get to watch unfold! It certainly takes entertainment to the next level as I can only imagine the experience each of the contests has as they see their fantasy world come to life!The acting was excellent of all of the cast. I loved how they interacted with the contestants and never broke Character. They really kept the story going!The only downside is that I would have liked to see the contestants decisions alter the course of the show more or maybe have more episodes showing more about the contestants and more story line.

curtin_parloe **There may be one or two mild SPOILERS, but nothing that would ruin first time enjoyment.There is a glut of scripted reality shows these days, and a huge variation in quality. They tend to merge into a bland, nebulous mass, with only a few exceptions (Bridalplasty's final episode is TV you should not miss). The Quest is an exception. Amidst the picturesque Viennese woodlands, we see the ever-dwindling group of Paladins strive to be the One True Hero, or else face Banishment.But what is it about? Yes, it's a competition, but there's no fabulous cash prize, no dream wedding with all the plastic surgery you can eat (seriously, though, "Bridalplasty final vote" on youtube. Do it now), just the honour of leading an army against Verlox (a demon of sorts). Every aspect of heroism is tested in specific challenges, from bravery to observation, from strategy to intelligence.And the contestants are so totally immersed, and genuinely happy to be there, that we are too. Everyone has a common goal, so any petty squabbling that might exist is abandoned in favour of working together. If someone avoids banishment, it's because they can help the remaining Paladins do better. Alliances and playing strategies just don't work in this environment, which one Paladin finds out the hard way (although with a rigidly-defined villain already in place, painting a Paladin as such was perhaps a minor mis-step).Even the finale is something new for this sort of show - once the one true hero is found, that's not the end, there's still the tension of the final battle, as we follow a story arc throughout the series to its conclusion. Granted, it's a game show, so there are certain expectations, but we've been following the Paladins' progress for months and we're rooting for a happy ending. The Quest officially replaces Face Off as my favourite scripted reality show. For Everealm!

nick-07628 I just finished S1 on Netflix last night! What a remarkable show! As the media is inevitably taking over our children's lives...it is imperative that the television content they watch reinforce positive values good morals and lasting life lessons. The Quest delivered on every level in a fun and magical way! Would you rather your child watch a wholesome, feel good and team building series or the latest episode of The Jersey Shore or Housewives of Atlanta? Really hoping these TV networks wise up and allow for positive programming that enriches in a fun way like the Quest. Remember TV 20-30 years ago? It was family oriented with positive undertones, and a prominent take away after each episode. The Quest is the answer to reintroducing a lot of what is missing in today's television! Cheers -

teresabelle This is by far my favorite show on TV. I kinda think the few people that dislike it come on here and rate it, whereas the vast majority that love it aren't taking the time to rate it because the rating should be much higher than it is. ;)The whole concept is fascinating and intriguing. I had no idea what it was when I first saw it on Hulu Plus. I thought I'd give it a try, and I loved it right away. When I watched episode #2, and seeing how they develop the story along with the competition, it only deepened my love of the show, as I didn't realize when I first started watching it that there would be such an awesome story to go along with it.It's like a first person player video game that the contestants are in. The story goes along, and they get to put their skills to the test. My husband is a busy guy and doesn't watch much TV, but he watches this show. It captured his interest quickly as well.I love the contestants. I hate when someone gets banished. I wish there was a way for the show to let the players that get banished to continue on in the show...just in a different position or something.Anyway, to the group of people that came up with this show, and all the actors/actresses and contestants - thanks for making such a wonderful show!! I really hope it continues on for many seasons.
