Very Cool!!!

Really Surprised!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Why would a person who doesn't like superhero's, fantasy or reality TV want to watch this show? Good question! I saw the previews and thought, "this might be interesting to watch". After the first episode I was hooked. BTW, I read Chronicles of Narnia as a child, does that count? A show that my entire family could watch and enjoy. Great plot, amazing scenes, friendship, sword fights and to overcome evil.The plot shows thinking, planning, survival, team work and more. There were victories and even sadness as each Paladin was banished, one by one. On the finale, I found myself jumping up and down to root on the One True Hero to victory over Verlox. Watch this show. You will not regret it. I am still watching the shows online and cannot wait for Season 2. It's for everyone.

My adult daughter first told me she'd discovered this show. As she began to tell me about it, I got so excited, I said "Wait! I have to see this! Did you record it?" I'm happy to say, she had. The opening sequence explaining the plot, captured my heart immediately. It truly was love at first sight. I love the reality-meets-fantasy idea, & cannot say enough for the acting, costumes & setting in an actual castle! A joy for a Lord of the Rings fan like myself. And I feel inspired by the 'paladins'--contestants from America who've come to 'save' the mythical kingdom. There are values like integrity you rarely see on any show, especially reality TV, and those are honored here. In addition, I can watch it with my older kids and we're both entertained. The show deserves season 2 & beyond.

Everything about The Quest screams love.It is a beautiful show, greater than the sum of its parts; every person involved loved their role in its creation. This was clearly a labor of love for cast, crew, contestants, writers, graphic and sound designers, visual effects artists, makeup, costume, challenge crews and—especially— executive producers. Everyone involved in The Quest clearly enjoyed what they were doing.Touted as a fantasy-based, immersive-reality adventure/competition, The Quest revolved around twelve heroes, summoned by the mystical, ethereal Fates from the real world—Paladins— who pit them against each other as individuals and teams in recurring events and challenges as a means of finding the One True Hero. It is often physically and mentally grueling. The challenges are never easy.The show, like its creators, laud positive qualities while giving consequence to the more selfish, base ones; The Quest promotes the merits of being a better person and striving to improve oneself. There is no cash prize. The reward is the experience and journey.The cast of non-player characters are fantasy-tropes and brilliant because of it. I love Sir Ansgar, the Grand Vizier, Queen Ralia and Crio (the Brave) because of their role in the over-arcing story. The Paladins are immersed in this other-world reality and come up against an ogre, hag, dragon and other monstrous terrors all on the path to a final confrontation with the demonic Verlox. The monsters are incredible—makeup and visual effects are used spectacularly to promote the immersive experience, both for the Paladins and us, the audience.A glorious show; one deserving another season, if not another twelve.

I stumbled across this show somewhat on accident and I'm really glad I did. This is the best reality show and probably one of the best shows in general that I have ever seen.The fact that it is not your typical reality show is what first piqued my interest. The show is set in a fantasy realm complete with characters and creatures that would be perfectly at home in any fantasy tale. However, twelve people are summoned from the real world to this fantasy realm to aid its citizens in defeating evil. Another reason I really like the show is that it emphasizes positivity and the good in people. Yes, the contestants or "Paladins" as they are called are whittled down one by one as is the case in most reality shows but these "banishments" do not include much of the backstabbing and politics that seem to be inherent to so many reality shows. The Paladins seem to truly care about each other and just want to do what they believe is for the good of the Quest not worrying about their personal feelings towards each other.
