It's the sort of low-calorie fantasy you can easily watch and enjoy if you turn off most of the critical faculties in your brain for an hour. The fights and magic and action really ramp up the show's energy. One shape-changing demon is particularly scary. The demons are sufficiently creepy and there's some good fight scenes. There's some good special effects at work here, too, though nothing mind-blowing. But the younger stars, from Austin Butler to Poppy Drayton, all do a decent job as well, especially given some of the lines they're asked to deliver with a straight face.
The acting is decent, especially from Lord of the Rings veteran John Rhys-Davies and Arrow and Hobbit alumni Manu Bennett as the elven king Eventine and druid Allanon respectively. I enjoyed it enough to have fun watching, even if sometimes that fun was derived from laughing at it a little.
