TeeVee trailers

A few upcoming series I plan to check out:

Into the Badlands, which is very, very loosely based on Journey to the West:

The Shannara Chronicles. I forget which part of the series this is going to be based on (I assume Sword of Shannara, though). I was very, very into Shannara as a teenager and then got over it in a big way in my 20s, but I plan to at least check this out.

I'm happy fantasy TV is getting more popular, though I could do without the show making it something networks are willing to take a chance on.

And leaving the fantasy TV behind, the new Tommy and Tuppence series, Partners in Crime. I'm not sold on Tommy's casting at all based on the trailer, and don't care for moving the setting to the 50s, but I have hope.

I read somewhere years back that it's going to be based on Elfstones. Good for me, because that's the only one I've read.

I actually half wish they'd skipped ahead another book because I recall having a huge thing for Wil's daughter, Brin, as a teen.

Oh, I shall have to get my hands on that book.

Wisely, it seems like they're actually skipping straight over Sword and hopping directly to Elfstones! WOMEN TURNING INTO TERRIBLE CGI TREES, GO

(I'm so excited for this bound-to-be-terrible series.)

Oh, Terry Brooks. You and women who turn into trees...
