I guess I'm sort of late coming to this topic but I like Legend of the Seeker. As a gamer (AD&D, D&D 3.0-3.5, and NWN) we don't have much fantasy on TV as is and it beats out Merlin on SyFy. It also beats out Xena.
Overall even though for some of it's plot stuff I thought it was a bit much. The one person mentions about Zedd and the Chasm and that's a really good point about teleport.
Also, what about the almighty han stacking in the show? Stealing hans and what not? That was a bit much for believability and suspension of disbelief. They needed some Kick A$$ DMs to help them write and not do stupid stuff like that and it would have been all set.
I think some things were portrayed well even though they changed it too. For example, I think torture and the way they portrayed that and the Mord Sith was pretty good. There is a great Fan Video that I like for the Mord Sith.

Then of course I like this one for Richard and Kahlan cause I'm a romantic.
