This is a very strange premise for a tv show. This from someone who still watches the Real Housewives.

I was at a party tonite and this show came up in conversation. It sounded interesting to me so I might have to check it out!

As someone who used to read a lot of high fantasy books, there was a time in my life when being on this show would be living the dream! It is a little weird seeing all of them taking it SO seriously, but I like that much better than a bunch of bickering rich people.

I have watched a couple of episodes and just can't get engaged in it. I think I find it a bit off-outting that the people are so totally into it. It seems much more than play acting a game to them.
While this show is much better produced, it reminds me of the Pirate version of a couple of years ago which only lasted a couple of weeks before it disappeared completely. It may have continued online for viewing until the conclusion but not on broadcast television.

I love it and I love that the players are so into the storyline. I wish I'd have known about it beforehand; I would have tried out for the cast...staying in a castle, sword fighting, wearing medieval clothes...I would just love all that.
The producers are a combination from The Amazing Race (my favorite reality show) and Lord of the Rings (my favorite movies) so I knew it would have to be good

I love this show! It's a little campy, and yet completely serious at the same time. Survivor for ComiCon fans. Much better than the pirate show.

I'm slowly watching it on On Demand.
I kind of like it.
I think "they take it too seriously" is a really strange criticism.
If they laughed at everything and looked at the camera every few seconds and said "this is only a game" people would be criticizing that.
I mean do you use that criticism for people on Survivor or Amazing Race or any other show? I've never seen any of them break character and ignore the game, either.

I haven't seen it or heard of it, but it seems like it's aimed at the LARP community. LARP, for those of you that don't know, means Live Action Role Play.
